The Unseen is a term used for some of the first BattleMech designs used for the original game. These designs, longtime favorites of BattleTech fans, were based on Mecha found in the Japanese anime series' Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Fang of the Sun Dougram and Crusher Joe.
Legal difficulties prohibited FASA from displaying any more pictures depicting these 'Mechs, although they were often freely mentioned in novels and books, and their rules remained legal. Thus, these 'Mechs remained unseen until the publication of Technical Readout: Project Phoenix, which presented "redesigns" of the mecha, to allow them to be used freely once again.
The Unseen 'Mechs, and their origins, are:
From Crusher Joe
From Macross
- VF-1 Valkyrie
