Trivia
Episode 6 "Protect and Survive" suffers from the above mentioned Battlemech limitations, changing Prince Victor's 'Mech from the Victor-class he was named after to a Mauler, and Galen Cox's Crusader to a Centurion. The latter is understandable. When the Battletech boardgame was created in 1984, FASA had licensed (although the licenses may have been of dubious authority) designs from a number of anime shows including "Dougram", "Crusher Joe" and "Macross" as the basis for the earliest "BattleMechs". By 1990, FASA was embroiled in a bitter legal battle with Harmony Gold over the use of the designs, and by 1995, FASA had settled with HG by pulling the 11 offending designs from use. One of them was the Crusader, originally the Armored Valkyrie from "Macross".

A positive experience

If you're a lover of the books and the battletech world in general, you will probably like the animated series. It has it flaws of course but still they don't spoil it all.

The series represent the inner sphere houses' fight against the clans' invasion.

One thing that I liked about the series is that the "war" scenes are computer animated. They aren't the best, nothing compared to what you see today but it must have been rather small a budget and it was a couple of years ago and, keeping in mind the speed of how computer technology advances it's quite good.

Unfortunately the series are hard to find.
