Very Cool!!!

Truly Dreadful Film

Too much of everything

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

I remember watching this show when I was a kid. Me and my friend would wake up really early just to watch it. We we always into Mechwarrior, the RPG and the video game on the SNES. From what I can remember about the show was very limited. I remember it was talking about Clan Jade Falcon attacking Summerset, and that the main character had an Axmen Mech, that was stolen by a bad guy (I think). That was about all I remember from the show. After downloading all the episodes off of the internet, I began to remember all of them. I now remember loving the 3D portion of the show. Me and my friend thought it was so cool when it was in the 3D mode. That was the fist cartoon that I ever remember using that technology.Well, anyways, even all these years later, it is still a really good show. I still cant believe that they only made 13 episodes. Maybe being a kid, those 13 episodes turned into 50 episodes for me because all I remember is just loving every moment it was on TV.

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.

Despite it's contradictions with the original source, the Battletech Animated Series is a decent enough representation of the series fiction, even drawing upon events from the books (such as the involuntary evacuation of Victor Davion from a battle). The major crippling point was that it was canned just at the end of the first season, leaving the series perpetually at a stand-still. If someone could get the rights to it, I think it would be a good thing to bring it back, especially if using animation similar to that used in Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles, or several of the computer animated series out today. Especially with the popularity of the computer games spun off from it, such as Mechwarrior 3 and 4, and Mech Commander 1 and 2.
