Yes, but never to do with Battletech and if you haven't it's just a big non-sequitur really.

The only thing I know about Battletech is the intro to the animated series is excellently goofy and I would like it in SRW for precisely that reason.

The great majority of BattleTech fans I’ve met are perfectly good enough at making fun of their own bad robot designs and the lovely lore that came with them. In fact that’s how Catalyst Game Labs hires them

My friend please let me tell you about the HawkWolf and how everything written about it is just to cover up the fact that its name is intentionally a combination of the two most common proper nouns in the entire game universe

It doesn't feel right to kill an unarmed man... but I'll get over it.
The important thing is that when they first did a Japanese version of the original Battletech wargame, they hired Studio Nue to do new versions of the stuff that they had in some cases already designed the first time.

clearly if srw 30 is successful on steam, then it's time for banpresto to include the western property everyone has been waiting for.

i am of course talking about rugrats with reptar and that mech from rugrats in paris

Having the combo partners as call-ins also means they could include Excellen without having to deal with the voice actress thing a bit longer.

I think when they announced her being in DD they said they were going to use already recorded lines and that was the going to be the plan going forward with the character.

Theoretically you could just treat the OG anime like any other anime series, and give it exactly as much plot focus as any other anime series. It's a convoluted series with a lot of presumably playable mechs and enemy factions, but the same's true of some other actual anime they've used.

Yeah, but Bullet doesn't even get any good lines, so Sugita is kinda wasted.

That's how Masoukishin and SRX got treated in Alpha 1, so it has precedent.

I saw it, but I'm LPing SRW 2, 2G, and 2 Complete Box. I may be a masochist, but not enough of one to add playing a draft to that.

I played one SRPG draft in high school and could not comprehend the basic concept of 'sometimes it's better to eat the penalty and use a good unit rather than spend hours trying to solo a chapter with a weak unit and end up with a poo poo score anyway' so I'm not sure drafts are for me.

It sounds like you fit right in with the draft crowd, to be honest.

How do people feel about a Z2 superdraft instead of V?

Oooooh, now that I’d be down. That’s a way to deal with the unit bloat.
