Actually I find this funny that they are crying about another fandom working into Battletech.
Ever hear of "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension"
Bet you didn't know that Buckaroo Banzai is ALSO in Battletech?
Ever hear of the "Banzai Institute" They're the ones that created the Hatchetman and Axeman battlemechs... They're also from a completely different source material.
Also it's not uncommon for battlemech pilots to have some slogan or reference to "old earth pop culture" on their mechs.
MLP:FiM would be considered "Old Earth Pop Culture."
So techincally... MLP:FIM IS Battletech related. as it's old earth pop culture compaired to the 3049 timeperiod.
oh and just because... this is from the "Buckaroo Banzai" character entry on Wikipedia-
Buckaroo Banzai and several other members of Team Banzai are prominently featured in the Battletech universe, a science fiction world taking place in the 31st century. It is not clearly explained how they find themselves in the future other than some sort of time warp, either intentional or inadvertent, but he occupies himself in that era as a professor at the New Avalon Institute of Science on the world of New Avalon within the Federated Suns successor state and is also a Battlemech designer, having designed the Hatchetman and Axeman mechs according to the sourcebooks Battletech Technical Readout 3025 and Battletech Technical Readout 3050. He is also featured as a character in some of the Battletech novels written by Michael Stackpole.
I'll just leave this here, since it seems to pertain to the "keep X out of Battletech" thing.
