I agree that Battletech had ripped off Robotech. It's SOOOOOOOOOOO obvious, even if you turn a blind eye to the veritech designs (hah!) there are still the Warhammer, Marauder and Rifleman(copied for FASA's Boardgame)! That only leaves the Battlemaster,Jenner and Locust(which are strikingly similar to the Zentraedi Battlepods in mechanics and movement... if not looks).
The original designers obviously had a flair for designing, because the Robotech models are timeless and sleek. Whereas the western designs;...well suck.(no i'm not asian). Why? Because the Robotech designs were penned by manga artists while the few original Battletech/mechwarrior designs was done by boring geeks without any artistic ability (how else could you come up with a design like the Jenner?! Come on!!)
For anyone who thinks that Robotech and Battletech designs are very different, here is an important number to write down:
