Overview
In the early 1990's, Victor Music Industries released Japanese ports of the original 1989 MechWarrior game for the Sharp X68000 computer and the Super Famicom. In both instances rather than use preexisting Battletech art or models produced by FASA, Victor commissioned new anime style art for use both in-game and in packaging and manuals.
FASA would later make use of the art VMI created in America, with the BattleMech art for the X68000 port becoming the Clan IIC 'Mechs introduced in Technical Readout: 3055 and the new art developed for the Super Famicon game becoming the new 'Mechs introduced in the ComStar sourcebook. Despite being legitimately acquired, in the wake of the Unseen lawsuits FASA chose to treat all designs developed "out-of-house" as Unseen to try and avoid any future disputes. Ultimately all the affected 'Mechs would receive new Reseen art in Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade.
