Since we had a release of unseen are we getting the following Mechs; Light Mech: Stinger, Wasp, and Valkyrie, Medium Mech: Phoenixhawk, Heavy Mech: Ostroc, Rifleman, Crusader, Warhammer, Marauder, and the Longbow. I understand that Harmony Gold claims these but they are not Harmony Gold's intellectual property, these images are owned by Shoji Kawamor the creator of Macross. The only thing these Mechs share with their Macross inspiration is looks. A Warhammer is not a Tomahawk! With the great job that PGI does with reskinning these Mechs will not only look different but better.Other Mech considerations Medium Mech: Dervish, Scorpion {four legged}, Assault: Charger (ECM Scout), Goliath (four legged), and the Annihilator.

You could release the Stinger, Wasp, Valkyrie, and Phoenixhawk as one pack. Then you can release the Rifleman, Crusader, Warhammer, and Marauder as a second Pack. As a bonus if players get both Unseen Packs they would get the Ostroc and Longbow mechs. You stand to make a lot of money and please your players.

Do not let Harmony Gold bully you. If Harmony Gold is worried about lose of sells in Robotech, if was not for Battletech I would not know of Robotech. I do have 450$ in the Robotech Tactics Kickstarter...still waiting. I am just as much a Mechwarrior as I am a Destroid Pilot.

They better let HG worry them at least. HG has much deeper pockets than PGI.

The good news is Catalyst (and Topps) appear to be pushing the Reseen remodels as straight-up canon, so the likelihood for the Rifleman, Marauder, etc to make their way into MWO is now on the uprise.

I would probably take the discussion to the already existing thread:

As mentioned, The actual Battletech guys are re-doing them to bring back their classic look back into the fold. I'm sure Russ is looking into his options, but as the BT guys haven't yet release a product and seen what HG does, we might have to wait a bit longer to see how things play out.
