Sad thing is, robotech/harmony gold have been way more hostile to battletech than bandai have ever been. Bandai was happy to leave things alone once the rights were settled and had been fine enough with them releasing battletech stuff in japan, including even some of the original mecha designers working on it. Harmony gold, on the other hand, had actively kept trying to shut them down long after it was clear they had no case.
It's really bizarre how often boomers and grogs try to portray this as some western alliance against the japanese when there's literally no ire at all being directed back, it's a purely one-direction conflict. Harmony gold surely is your greatest ally.
