    No, that can't be Mechwarrior... (at least it better not be)

    1) The Foot is way too big and chunky to be a BattleTech Mech,

    2) The Cars and City Art Style just doesn't fit the Battle Tech Universe.. (which is suppose to be far far into the future 1000+Years, and not look like a car/city of today)
