Heavy Gear is a PC game that was turned into a board game, followed by a Cgi movie, which was butchered into shorter segments to make an animated series.
The animated series was awesome at the time, c'mon dude, it's a bunch of mecha fighting each other in low res computor graphics, it was savage at the time!!! The good guys where the Shadow Dragons, who face the bad guys, ironically named the Vanguards of Justice, who always cheat in the games to gain the upper hand in team rocket esque hijinks.

Seriously if you use a walker in a frontal assault against a railgun armed tank in either you are dead, no exceptions.
