Rick Raisley sells Heavy Metal Pro software, and 'Mechs look like human shaped robots that do professional jobs. I just searched the USA Patent and Trademark Office and discovered that the word "Probot" is currently not a trademarked/patented word in the USA so let's have Topps trademark the word Probot.

I like " 'Mech" quite fine. Especially the germen pronounciation Wink
I do not see the benefit of renaming everything in "Probot.

Well, go ahead and enjoy yourself Smile

I'm also quite comfortable with 'Mechs, be it a Battlemech or an Omnimech. As Czech I' fine with Robot (as it's one of the words that happen to be given by our small nation to the world) or as our translation of the rules from FASA times named them OBR (a shortcut for Armoured Battle Robot or "GIANT" literally).

Aside from that the rules and names are not ours to determine and the reason to change after twenty something years is... well... nonexistent at the moment.
