That is awesome. I love the little infantry guys at the Atlas' feet!
Some of those I totally get, but it gathered in mechs that I don't get why there were there as it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Robotech.The Real-Life History of Battletech Part IV
The classification of mechs as "Unseen" meant that , while they continued to be represented in the fiction and game stats, all images of them were removed from Battletech publications, and the associated miniatures were taken out of production. Among these, of course, was the iconic "Warhammer" that had graced the cover of the Battletech boxed sets since Battledroids.
Other mechs deemed Unseen include The Battlemaster, The Crusader, The Griffin...
...The Marauder, Phoenix Hawk, Rifleman...
... and The Thunderbolt, Valkyrie and Wolverine
The loss of these mechs were devastating for many fans who grew up with them as a huge part of the game or in some cases, the reason they were attracted to Battletech in the first place. Yet, I think nothing says more for the unique identity that Battletech carved for itself that it continued to move forward and thrive even with this incredible blow. Sure, it meant that many classic sourcebooks and gaming materials were discontinued and could no longer be reprinted, but FASA continued on without skipping a beat...
