PPC hardly has the monopoly on swooping, overarching armor plates and gigantic pauldrons. While we’re at it we might as well accuse World of Warcraft of stealing their look as well. I mean, yeah there’s a few similarities here and there, but the aesthetic is different enough that it’s definitely not image-theft.

When I first saw PP’s Cygnar jacks (the light lancer) I was more reminded of a steam powered robot from a 2000AD story from the 90s – before I saw anything about epic in it. Armoured Gideon, the story was called – it was insane.
There’s only so much you can do with steam powered robots.

Oddly enough, when Warmachine first came out I considered using the Warjacks as proxies for Epic titans because they pretty much looked like they would fit in just fine and were a bit cheaper…

But possibly I am overstating the problem? If so, all the better.

Also so it in the BOLS comments

But it was certainly more hotly debated (because it was more controversial) with the original Knight.

I think if you dig around, you’ll find that nobody is saying that.

I’d like to know which people were saying that. I frequent several Wargaming forums, and haven’t seen any such discussion. I hope my response here isn’t too “dyed-in-the-wool”.
