In a [[BattleTech]] context, the poorly defined word '''Reseen''' was coined opposite the [[Unseen]] concept. Like Unseen it is used as alternatively a noun or an adjective, and broadly means "the opposite of 'Unseen'" in the sense of artwork that is legal to use for BattleTech despite depicting what would normally be an Unseen design.

{{delete|"Reseen" is an ill-defined word with different meanings depending on context; the definition below is false under two out of (at least) three different meanings. The whole issue is comprehensively covered in the [[Unseen]] article and Reseen should therefore redirect there.}}
  
Depending on context, it can refer to any of the following:
+
The '''Reseen''' are 'Mechs that were formerly [[Unseen]] but thanks to negotiations with the property owners are now present in the BattleTech universe. They include the ''[[Locust]]'', ''[[Griffin]]'', ''[[Shadow Hawk]]'', ''[[Thunderbolt]]'', ''[[Scorpion (BattleMech)|Scorpion]]'', ''[[Wolverine (BattleMech)|Wolverine]]'', ''[[Marauder]]'', ''[[Goliath]]'', and ''[[BattleMaster]]''.
  
*Designs that were considered Unseen at one point in the past, but were taken off the list again for one reason or another;
+
In 2003, ''[[Technical Readout: Project Phoenix]]'' was published that postulated upgrades and newer versions for most of the "Unseen" 'Mechs from the in-game year [[3067]] forthwith. Dubbed "Reseen," these evolutions were sufficiently visually different from their parent designs that they could be depicted. ''[[Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade]]'' continued with "Phoenix" upgrades for the remaining "Unseen" 'Mechs, and the "Reseen" Samurai first appeared in ''[[AeroTech 2 Revised Edition]]'' and then in ''[[Technical Readout: 3039]]''.
*the Project Phoenix 'Mechs: In 2003, upgrades and newer versions for most of the Unseen 'Mechs, as of the in-game year [[3067]], were published as ''[[Technical Readout: Project Phoenix]]''. Dubbed "Reseen", these Project Phoenix evolutions were original creations and sufficiently different from their parent designs to be used. ''[[Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade]]'' continued with Phoenix upgrades for the remaining Unseen 'Mechs, and the Reseen ''[[Samurai]]'' aerospace fighter first appeared in ''[[AeroTech 2 Revised Edition]]'' and then in ''[[Technical Readout: 3039]]''.<br />To wit, these Reseen models did not retroactively replace the Unseen variants. They are new, additional designs with new art that appeared later on in the in-universe timeline, meant to gradually replace the Unseen as the timeline progressed. In this sense, they are not strictly new images for the Unseen designs, but additional new designs that were never Unseen in the first place.
 
*Finally, the new designs that retroactively replaced the old Unseen from 2015 onwards have also been referred to as Reseen.

To wit, the "Reseen" did not replace the "Unseen" variants, or [[retcon]] them out. They are new, additional designs with new art, meant to gradually replace the "Unseen" as the timeline progresses.

The term "Reseen" is also applied to designs that were "Unseen" at one point, but were taken off the list again.
