I ask because they say they only hold the rights to the original series.
Yep, a large majority of these iconic Unseen designs had originated from Macross during the 80's (though not all of them). Battletech did acquire the rights to use these designs, but Harmony had put a lawsuit on Battletech for the for doing it (hence why they are known as the "Unseen"). Keep in mind that Harmony Gold's Robotech franchise was also based on the Macross anime. They claim those designs as theirs, but they had nothing to do with creating them. The reason why we want these design back is because we grew up to love them. HG's apathy and negligence to release them despite their popularity, is a perfect reason why we should get these designs from their cold, dirty,gritty, ugly little hands.
