Maybe it is my imagination?

Not very.

It depends on who's viewing it. 

Am I a Harmony Gold lawyer?  Then they're exactly alike, down to the last detail, and a clear infringement of my copyright for the very concept of a "giant, bipedal, mechanical war machine" that I've gained by outspending any other US company who thinks differently.  As evidence of this, I feel that this looks identical to this, which is why I'm suing over it.

Am I a rational person?  They have a vague similarity (bipedal, big guns on the arms, at least one offset missile launcher off the shoulder), but something easily explained by simple convergent evolution (there's only so many ways to depict a bipedal war machine with at least one shoulder missile launcher and big guns replacing the forearms) or even raw coincidence, and it's not something to be concerned about whatsoever.

From my veiwing, I don't think they look alike. Different weapons on the arms, body not very similar. One rather spindly looking, the Hammerhands bulkier. Just my take.

Imo, not at all.

The Macross one actually looks a lot more like a mech from my NDS Front Mission game.

But yea, they're both giant bipedal mecha.  Kind of like asking if a Ford and a Chevy look alike.

I think the Hammerhands I was thinking of was the one with the RACs instead of the pictured cannons. To my eye, the torso and head are fairly similar, and if the RACs are on the Hammerhands, then the weapons are pretty similar. The legs are pretty different though.
To me, they are somewhat similar, not as similar as an unseen marauder to a glaug, but about as similar as an BD marauder to a glaug.
