According to FASATom@aol.com, here’s the answer: Addressing the statement that FASA had at sometime in the past lost a lawsuit regarding mecha design, this is also not true. Back in the early days, 1984-85, before Robotech was packaged by Harmony Gold we obtained the rights to the images used in our original BattleDroids (later BattleTech) boxed game. Harmony Gold lawyers contacted us regarding our rights to those images (specifically in their case the Macross images) and we provided for them our proof of license. No lawsuit was ever filed on that matter, or any between FASA and Harmony Gold.
