Would you a BattleTech tv series?
>>
Absolutely. Who the hell wouldn't get into a series about giant walking robots battling it out under a futuristic feudal system? It has it all that one could ever want out of a television series. Inter-house feuds on galactic scales, soap opera tier character dynamics, amazing battle scenes. The problem is that it will sooner or later just be used as a vehicle to push the agenda and all the stuff that makes Battletech awesome gets shoved out the door, never mind being pushed into a corner. A show about giant walking mechs doing epic battle with lasers and untold amounts of ammunition blowing shit up sounds great on paper and will be used to rope you in for about 10 minutes into the pilot and then snap cut to the representative of House Kurita getting buttfucked by the Chancellor of the Capellan Confederation.

I'd rather just play Mechwarrior. Or shit, Earthsiege 2. Fuck it.

yes

Maybe if the robots were miniatures and not cgi

Not gonna happen. Like the GO BOTS there's some antiquated rights issue stopping it.

Did you know that Hasbro (Transformers) owns GO BOTS? Ever wanted to see Starscream vs Leader 1? Never gonna happen.

Battletech Universe is retarded by design
>>
>>216946768
Battletech is NOT awesome. It's a pretty simple universe setting, which contradicts itself on quite many occasions, and needs intervention by the writers to not fail.
Just nuke the clans, that's all you need. Literally.

If Hasbro owns Go Bots then they can in fact do that.

Maximillian was pretty crazy, it is possible.

lolwut

WoB tried that.

i'd fucking watch the shit out of it

I got one of the games and got bored extremely fast. i don't think robots are enough to be entertaining
>>
>>216948273
I've always said they need to make a massive game with as much out-of-mech activity as in-mech
>>
>>216948373
MW:LL was cool because you got tanks, hover craft, VTOLs, jets, and battle armor too. Some stuff was glitchy and prone to problems with lag, but it was a cool mod.
>>
I love mechs
>>
>>216946548
The problem is the Clans were founded by a Russian and IIRC their home planet has New Moscow as the capital.

FUCK NO!
we already had a game from the FUCKING CREATOR of BTech no less and it was FULL of fucking trannies and girl boss bullshit
at least you can hack the game to filter out all the trannies,
but the story is still retarded

You'd have to start with a first season that is the full breadth and width of the 4th succession war: prelude, political maneuverings, the treaty, the wedding, the actual war, and aftermath

>>216946548
if it had been made 20-30 years ago, of course

made by today's "writing talent"? i'll pass.

>>216947824
start at the beginning. clans only show up in ominous foreshadowing, cancel the show before you actually need to pay it off.
