well, thank you all for correcting me... battletech is about the only place from whence i know a great deal of mechs... it is pretty obvious how they stole some of their designs, although i'm afraid i haven't seen many anime with mecha that look (...)

(...) FASA acquires and recycles designs from anime. This is the Macross original J.S. was emulating: (URL) think FASA also has a clone of this other mech, which is pretty lame since it was designed to accomodate a 50 foot giant Zentradi: (URL) (24 years ago, 21-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Actually, the "Warhammer" was a design lifted from the Robotech series, which was in turn lifted from several Anime series.

did you by chance base it on the Fasa "Warhammer" mech? the resemblance is uncanny... if so it's a very good likeness. if not... YOU LIE!!!
