class he was named after to a Mauler, and Galen Coxs  Crusader to a Centurion. The latter is understandable. When the  Battletech boardgame was created in 1984, FASA had licensed  (although the licenses may have been of dubious authority) designs  from a number of anime shows including "Dougram", "Crusher Joe" and  "Macross" as the basis for the earliest "BattleMechs". By 1990, FASA  was embroiled in a bitter legal battle with Harmony Gold over the  use of the designs, and by 1995, FASA had settled with HG by pulling  the 11 offending designs from use. One of them was the Crusader,  originally the Armored Valkyrie from "Macross".
