Nitpicking about old Mech Artwork. (Score 2)

I noticed a few people saying that BattleTech was a blatant ripoff of some Jap Anime things. Nope. It was an original idea of its creators, but the artwork for most of the original mechs was licensed from the people who made Macross. When Harmony Gold bought the rights to make a Macross show in the US, they theatened to put FASA out of business in endless court proceedings, despite the fact that FASA did have a legal right to use the artwork. Lacking the money to fight the case, they just gave it up. May be a couple things not quite right in my version of it, but this is the general feel of it. FASA was royally screwed over by Harmony Gold. Pyro
