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!!!

FASA acquires and recycles designs from anime. This is the Macross original

I 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:

A large number of FASA's original Battlemechs were "borrowed" from
Macross/Robotech. The ones that come to mind are:

Macross --> Battletech
Excaliber --> Warhammer
Raidar X --> Rifleman
Veritech fighter --> Wasp (and the Phoenix Hawk as I recall)
Zentradi Officer's Pod --> Marauder

There are others, I believe, but these are the ones I recall.
