Namco Bandai trademarks “Mach Storm”

We’ve come across a new European trademark just filed by Namco Bandai yesterday. The company now owns “Mach Storm” – a name that is associated with Zoids, but that’s about it.

It should be noted that Mach Storm’s filing suggests some sort of relation to video games. There hasn’t been a new Zoids title in quite some time (plus it’d be bizarre to name something based on a Zoids battle team), so if this is something that is actually in development, it’s likely a brand new project and unrelated to the brand. Unless I’m missing something here…
