The Littlest Atlas was a children's book and tri-vid cartoon of unknown publication date that was still in circulation at least until 3070. In the publication, the Atlas’ Gyro was depicted as allowing the ‘Mech to hover in midair and move through space[1]. Other depictions include massed numbers of ‘Mechs standing on the hulls of spaceships shooting at other ‘Mechs and aerospace fighters.[2]
In the MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries video game, Bowie Industries hired an authentic hack to create an illustrated version of The Littlest Atlas in order to launder funds through a book deal to a mercenary unit they were paying under the table, outside of the Mercenary Review Board's purview.[3]
Notes[edit]
The exploits of The Littlest Atlas appear to be a tongue in cheek dig to both Macross and BattleTech: The Animated Series.
