Just saw Ready Player One last night. The book mentions that several 'gunters in the battle near the end had battletech mechs and I was excited to see if they were in the movie.

I'm 99.9% sure I saw a Masakari/Warhawk. You can see it on the left in terrible quality at time stamp 3:52 here: https://youtu.be/6fABlzP_Gvk?t=232

It looks like it's charging a PPC right before it sweeps off screen.

This may seem inconsequential... but from someone (me) who's been wanting to see a battlemech on the big screen for 25 years... it's pretty badass.

If you all agree that it's a Masakari/Warhawk, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME AN OFFICIAL BATTLEMECH HAS BEEN ON THE BIG SCREEN.

Pretty cool. :-)
