Go Me

Once I take care of a remaining piece or two of WizKids paperwork, I'll be approved to carry a loadout of 12 tons of armor, a particle cannon, 6 lasers, two machine guns, and a six-missile launching rack. However, I may not be allowed to appear in public thanks to the lawsuit over Dougram/Macross images.

Useful reference page. My favorite mecha designs were actually the Dougram rip-offs, and favorite aerospace designs the ones from Crusher Joe. While it wasn't the only reason, I lost interest in Battletech around the time the "anime" designs finally got pulled from continuity.

Somewhere around I've got the pair of original Japanese Sun Fang Dougram tactical boardgames, with the double handful of quite cool pewter 25mm mecha minis. IIRC the anime itself was a bit depressing, but the designs made far more sense than typical for a mecha show.
