Robelwell202 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 I'm looking for a picture, so I'm hoping someone can help me find it. In the basic boxed set for either 2nd or 3rd edition, there was a picture on the back cover of the rule book. What it was, was an abstract version of the Tomahawk that shows up on the front cover. (The one with the slightly twisted torso, firing a secondary laser and walking at the smae time) This pic was also surrounded by a sunburst design. I'd love to get my hands on that pic, again... Could anyone help me out? Just for reference, here's the main pic that showed up on the front box cover... Thanks, everyone... Quote
promethuem5 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 I tried to look around to find the image but no luck... I have that stupid box at home tho, but it's 3 hours away... Quote

promethuem5 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Yeah, the Warhammer silhouette logo which was replaced by the MadCat logo. Quote
big F Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 I too have the box in the loft room. When Im home I will try and find it and do a scan. Quote
Robelwell202 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Posted April 22, 2009 I am looking for flat scans of these... Quote
taksraven Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I am looking for flat scans of these... Subtitle on the pictures should read "Ripping off Macross" Taksraven Quote
Robelwell202 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Posted April 22, 2009 These were done while FASA still had the rights to Macross Mecha designs, as well as Dougram and a few others... Quote
F-ZeroOne Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 These were done while FASA still had the rights to Macross Mecha designs, as well as Dougram and a few others... Possibly thought they had the rights... Quote
Robelwell202 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Posted April 22, 2009 WEll, regardless of weather they had the rights or not, all I'm looking for is a flat scan of either cover... The higher the resolution, the better. Quote
Robelwell202 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Posted April 22, 2009 I just found what I'm looking for,folks... Thanks, anyway! Quote
taksraven Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Possibly thought they had the rights... Thats closer to the story I heard years ago....... Taksraven Quote
Letigre Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Possibly thought they had the rights... What was "Unseen" shall be seen again: CATALYST GAME LABS BRINGS BACK "UNSEEN" Quote
Einherjar Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Who did they have to pay to get that to happen? Quote
big F Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I located the box in the loft and when Im home again after the week end I will scan it for you in A hi-res. Quote
F-ZeroOne Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) Who did they have to pay to get that to happen? And can we please hire whoever they are to get the Zeta Gundam theme music back please? Edit: thinking about it, the FASA designs gradually began to differ somewhat (although still recognisable) from what they were originally based on. Perhaps there was a loophole there somewhere...

VF5SS Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 This the whole mess explained in detail. So they only had the rights to market the models at best. No rights to the designs were given. Quote
Einherjar Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 This the whole mess explained in detail. So they only had the rights to market the models at best. No rights to the designs were given. Does that mean HG and others were just paid a handsome sum, and later a percentage of the revenue, for Battletech to revive the unseen mechs? Quote
Ginrai Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Does that mean HG and others were just paid a handsome sum, and later a percentage of the revenue, for Battletech to revive the unseen mechs? Maybe they are playing devil's advocate and seeing if anyone will sue them. Quote
Ghadrack Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 That's pretty awesome, maybe they will be able to work out a deal with Yamato, Hasegawa and Bandai to import their toy lines under the "Battletech" name and we won't be forced to pay insane import costs to get our stuffs. Quote
Einherjar Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I expect the involved parties to continue the status quo that's always existed, except they have a chance to make some money by working together for a change. Quote

thegunny Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) Is Mechwarrior back? http://kotaku.com/5309606/is-this-mechwarr...5?autoplay=true The foot looks a bit like a Thor or Loki but the cars look a bit out of place. Can only hope. Here's a few more teasers Teaser 2 Teaser 3 Edited July 8, 2009 by thegunny Quote

thegunny Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Some people are even suggesting this could be for a new movie. I hope it's not as anything in that vein that Hollywood has got it's grubby paws on to has turned out to a WOFTAM. Quote
promethuem5 Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 AGH! Teasers!! So.... we need info! If it IS MW5, I LOVE the idea of doing alot more to set the 'mechs and fighting in 'real' environments... the previous games always had that classic flight-sim backdrop to them, where most of the scenery was simply different colored pieces of turf, with the occasional building or something thrown in, with no people or life to them. I think my favorite mission in all of MW-dom was in 4 Mercs, when there was an actual city-fight, even if the city was unpopulated. Quote

I think my favorite mission in all of MW-dom was in 4 Mercs, when there was an actual city-fight, even if the city was unpopulated. Well, no one is supposed to be fighting in cities in BattleTech (Article V of the Ares Conventions) which is why we've never seen too many of them in the games (MechAssault notwithstanding), although the conventions have been known to be tossed away at will. That jumping giant robot from the teasers looks too much like a Jenner for this not to be a MW game. Either way, it looks promising, and I hope to high heaven there's a toy line involved. Quote
Mr March Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Watched all three teasers and this definitely has the look and feel of a Mechwarrior game. Hope it is. Quote
Einherjar Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Who currently has the video game rights to Battletech/Mechwarrior? Quote
thegunny Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) Doesn't the original creator Jordan Weisman (sp?) have the rights to the video game part (mechwarrior). Not sure about the board game (battletech) side though, I think that belongs to InMediaRes. Who really knows because in true Land of The Free style it's hidden under a million different names Edited July 8, 2009 by thegunny Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) Yeah Jordan Weisman's new company holds the rights to Mechwarrior, at least that's what the IGN article said. Those other teasers make me think that it is certainly something in that universe. Doubt it's a film though. IGN apparently will have some kind of reveal about what this is on Thursday. Fingers crossed for MW5. Edited July 8, 2009 by kaiotheforsaken Quote
Letigre Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) Console Mechwarrior would be nice. It would be icing to the "everything old is new again" cake that seems to be Battletech as of late. Edited July 8, 2009 by Letigre Quote
Wanzerfan Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 I played the Mechwarrior 4 "cockpit" game over at Dave & Busters in the Edwards Marqe center here in Houston. Basicly a third person shoot-'em-up crapfest. I miss the Battletech simulators they had over in Memorial City Mall, even though I never had the chance to play them. Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Mechwarrior 3 was the best of the series imo, I really hope that if this is in fact a new MW game (and I hope it is) that they really go all out. Quote
eugimon Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I'd love a return of the mechwarrior series. Even though they were buggy as hell they were a lot of fun. Quote
