Darn it. Ah well. It WAS a shot in the dark.

Kyron. The Maniacal Zentraedi Warlord. Very crazy but somehow
likeable. From THAT series (the Macross series) my favourite character HAD
to be Breetai. For a 50ft warlord, he had some style.

Battletech STOLE the Phoneix Hawk (Super Veritech), Wasp & Stinger
(Veritechs with different head styles), Archer (Gladiator), Rifleman
(Raidar-X), Warhammer (Excaliber), Missileman (Spartan) and Maurader
(Officer's Battlepod). There was actually a BIG legal wrangle about those
Mech designs way back when Battletech first started. FASA eventually
sorted the mess out.

degrees Celcius here! Brrrr!
