Just askin, for fun's sake. Gundams are out - we won't want beam sabers and twin buster cannons. Macross mechs, on the other hand, use conventional weaponary from what I remember. Gatling cannons, missiles n stuff. I think it'll be a pretty interesting matchup, just that overall the Macross mechs would be much more agile, though lacking in firepower compared to MW's mechs.

What was the question?

So... You're basically wanting the Unseen to fight the rest of the Mechwarrior/Battletech universe? (With the caveat that the Macross LAMs would actually have some use)

Never the twain shall meet.

I generally hate 'vs' games between two different universes, they rarely work outside of fighting games in my opinion

Hear-hear; one wonders if the original poster is in fact trolling...

Is it 2-D like street fighter or Marvel vs CAPCOM, etc?

MW for sure. Macross was fun and all, but I love the depth that the Mechwarrior universe has. Plus, as I get older I'm getting tired of Anime.

[Insidious Johnson]

NO! It would be like mixing midget **** with midget wrestling, they both have their place and that place is never together.

Meh, I'd rather have team dai gurren wind up in the battletech 'verse for the ensuing lulz.

[NagaoftheWards]

Eh, id play it, if only to see how terrible it'd be, i love both to much to let it pass without a good reviewing, then id return it to the shelf to collect dust as i began a drink and sob session

Macross: Light weak mechs that are faster, agile, and have more missiles.
Mechwarrior: Heavy slow mechs that are tougher, very manuverable, and have blasters and autocannons

basically macross mechs can run circles around mechwarrior but when they trip its over, plus a core explosion would destroy a battalion of them instantly!

[infinite xaer0]

no. a better crossover would be mechwarrior and earthsiege.. not that I'd want to actually play that either.

Dude, you COMPLETELY FORGOT about Alien Vs. Predator. They are/were seperate franchises at one point.

Anyway, I would like to play a gaem between Battletech and Macross. Wait, I have a better idea. It should be a TRIAL OF POSSESION OVER THE UNSEEN MECHS! Whoever wins would keep the rights to all of the Unseen mechs.

Anyway,

Would there be a GERWALK SDF-1 involved?

I will accept the games, I will never EVER accept those f***ing god awful movies lol

No thank you

[ice trey]

Nope. Macross and Battletech are apples to oranges. There's actually very little similarity between the two franchises, barring the fact that Battletech licensed a few of the designs for use in Battledroids in 1984.

...Now, Fang of the Sun Dougram, on the other hand, is pretty much "Battletech: The Anime". Political intrigue, Guerrilla warfare, and Slower giant robots... All fighting alongside hovercraft, tanks, and infantry. That said, though, it might be a little too similar. For that matter, I'm a little disappointed that the series never got published in the west, nor has it been visited for anything but toys ever since.

Front Mission would make a decent-looking matchup. The fighting style seems much more compatable. The only issue you'd face would be benchmarking. That is to say, "how much damage does that Wanzer's Machine Gun deal against Battletech armor" and the like.

[Greywolff9]

I would!!

[Mechwarrior Of Rock]

I would love to see and play a Macross/Robotech vs Mechwarrior game.
