Based upon the strategy war game and set during events in the Blood of Kerensky Trilogy by Michael Stackpole, a small independent unit lead by Maj. Adam Steiner fights their way to their home planet of Somerset when news of an army of mysterious invaders calling themselves the Clans begin to conquer world after world in their ultimate goal to take Terra. The First Somerset Strikers, as the unit is called, is assigned to take the fight to the Clans and learn as much of the invaders as they can, all the while being pursued by an obsessive Clan Jade Falcon warrior named Nicholai Malthus

Edit:

i got trough the first 2 episodes and its bad. Starting this thread wa a mistake.

 

I enjoyed it, even if the dialog was incrediblly wooden and the concepts simplified to kiddie-vision. And it did get better. By the end of the series, the cliffhanger was getting pretty decent.

 

I'd never seen it when it aired, but found the whole thing online a few months ago.

Very amusing for me, though my friends who're more hard core Battletech fans wanted to gouge their eyes out.

 

I cannot watch it.

 

Yes, for the die-hard battle-techer or whatnot, I'm sure the cartoon is painful beyond words. The fact that some of the fundamental concepts (eugenics programs) were even touched in a cartoon geared for the 8-12 yo market was way out there at the time. It's not like kids had Adult Swim to watch in order to learn about mamalian biology and reproduction as they do now.

I am not a Battletech fan. Its a weak cartoon thats all. of course this is my personal opinion.

 

Well, compare it to what else was around at the time: ExoSquad, Highlander the Animated Series... OK, so I can't actually think of any other cartoons that came out that same year... It was also about the 2nd or 3rd year of Batmand: The Animated Series, and the first year of SuperMan. Military cartoons weren't in style at the time. Had it been the mid 80s, that might have been different.
Also, they had a decent excuse (still an excuse mind you) for switching from traditional to early CGI.

 

Its not that bad, it had some good moments. But it lacks creativity.

 

Man that cartoon sucked, with a captial S.
