The cockpit layout is different, the torso weapons are different, the arm cannon housings are different, the shoulders are different, as is the search light. And if HG is feeling cranky for some reason when these things are officially unveiled, it could end up in court regardless.ДЄre you suggesting that Catalyst's redesign only included rotating the missile launcher of the Tomahawk/Warhammer by 90 degrees? Because the Warhammer above looks to me like it has been bulked out, it has a different armor configuration with panels and other details that are vastly different than the Tomahawk's external appearance. There's a somewhat murky grey line between 'slightly modified copy' and 'original artwork inspired by'. But redrawing the Macross Tomahawk with the missile pack rotated 90 degrees probably wouldn't be enough to keep you out of legal hot water if you tried to claim it as your own. These new `Mech designs look nothing like the Robotech and Dougram designs from the 70's and 80's, so HG shouldn't have a legal leg to stand on. The problem with HG/Playmates and FASA were a result of the exact same designs being licensed by different companies. As stated above these designs got a face lift over a decade ago in TRO: Project Phoenix and no legal shenanigans ensued. In the coming weeks and months weвЂ™ll be rolling out more covers and sketches to show all the work thatвЂ™s been merged into this amazing project.ДarkTraveler777 wrote: That seems extremely unlikely. Our goal during all of this remains to merge 21st Century sensibilities with the classic lines that make those вЂ™Mechs so near and dear to all of us.ДЄs part of this announcement youвЂ™ll see two covers that feature the results of this extensive work, as well as a render to start proof-of-concept miniatures production. WeвЂ™ve spent the last half-year re-imagining the unseen BattleMechs that will always be one of the hallmarks of BattleTech. After years of weighing the pros and cons, weвЂ™ve made the decision to not just dip our toes in the pool, but to leap into the deep end: straight out of the DropShips into a hot LZ!

However, as FanPro-and then Catalyst-continued to exploring the full breadth of the BattleTech history in Historical, Era and Field Manual sourcebooks, it became more apparent that the solution that worked so well for post-3067 left the вЂ™Mech berths empty for previous time periods, especially the Succession Wars. It ensured those BattleMechs were usable by the community in both Technical Readouts and miniatures form as we thoroughly explored the unfolding plot lines of the Jihad Era.

The re-designing of the unseen BattleMechs that was accomplished as part of Project Phoenix was the right option at that time.
