I think these mechs are known as "the unseen"

Back in the 90s they weren't licensed properly and while still playable official BattleTech had to remove the mini figures and artwork

Oh shit, did they work out the rights from Macross or wherever to use them again? Cool.

Yeah a lot of these mechs are in both the turn based BattleTech PC game as well as MechWarrior 5

Yep, it seems that way. Some of the Macross designs are in an "Inner Sphere Command Lance" pack, and a bunch of the Dougram designs are in the "A Game of Armored Combat" starter set.

I need to get around to watching Crusher Joe. I'm not familiar enough with its mechanical design to spot in a lineup of toys lol.

Recruitment posts should contain what system is being played, CW for any adult/serious themes players need to be aware of and whether a game is beginner friendly.

An obvious reminder of no racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia.

Emphasis on small independent rpgs like the ones in the TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Texas but not against dnd stuff.
