Basically

are the unseen from Dougram OK?

While the unseen from Macross are the dangerous ground?

even though we are getting redesigns of reseen art technically

basically, don't expect whammies or maddies anytime... ever

am I wrong here?

basically?

the more I look at that word the more it looks funny

I think harmony gold is really the only touchy one here

That's how it's been for few years in the classic battletech boardgame, so seems you figured it out right.

but I can buy reseen warhammers and marauders for CBT?

though the designs do look substantially different, especially the MAD

I really do not see why the could not do a reseen version of the warhammer or the Marauder. I have questioned for years now if in the out of court settlement that FASA gave up all rights to the designs which would mean we could never have a mech that was named or vaguely resembled the Macross mechs, Hell HG got in a tissy over the reseens that was all new artwork.

The OP is correct; these have been reintroduced to tabletop for a while now as well and are known as the "reseen" instead of the "unseen." Plus it looks like Flyingdebris is taking major liberties with the designs to further them anyway.

This is doubly confusing as they are using the Project Phoenix moniker, which is a canon thing from the 3070s in a (IMO really dumb) way to reintroduce ALL of the unseen, including the Harmony Gold ones.

This looks like they are basically taking redesigns and redesigning them. But yeah. My point is all of these designs - in their original art, no less - are back in BattleTech and have been for a few years now.

'mechs that are now I guess possible but are yet to be announced:

Griffin
Scoprion
Wolverine

Scorpion won't be in- no quad Mechs will be. But Wolverine and Griffin are a possibility.
