That's what i said tho.

In addition of Robotech stuffs, they also handed away the rights for new Macross series.

Except they don't have the rights to those Macross designs in videogames and miniature games which is why Battletech gets to use those (and Dougram and Crusher Joe) original designs and derived designs still. They tried suing over that Hairbrained Schemes PC Battletech game a while back but they lost. Battletech games are weird here in Japan in that you can buy them but they aren't translated. Like even on PS Store they are listed but English only. So I don't think they have a design rights issue here, but I have only ever seen the miniatures game in import stores. There actually was an official Japanese version of Battletech back in the 90s with designs by the Macross team, but they didn't use actual Macross designs (or Dougram or Crusher Joe, but those are different studios).
