I wasn't really thinking of using those companies and those names in a reboot. Rather, mine some of their history for things that could be done with the rules. Maybe even sand them enough so it looks like, sounds like, but isn't them. Which is things I have seen done in other RPGs about licenses like Transformers, GI Joe, Boeing, IBM, Microsoft, etc.
