MEKTON ZETA & GUNDAM
From the R.Talsorian website:

Mekton is R. Talsorian's oldest game. In fact its older than R. Talsorian, which was formed after the feedback at our local con, DunDraCon, convinced us that there was a market for an anime role-playing game. But being an older game right now has its disadvantages. Right now the stores are hot to stock new things and picking up a new supplement for an old game which has been dormant for awhile is not at the top of their list. This makes it hard for us to get the line up and running again. Fortunately for Mekton, we have Mobile Suite Gundam out of translation and into editing right now (Thank you, Benjamin Wright!).

Slight digression on Mobile Suit Gundam. Some years ago, Mekton Zeta was published in translation in Japan under license. It did well and the same folks involved with that came back to us and said "We have the Mobile Suite Gundam license. Can we use a variant of the Mekton Zeta system to make a Gundam game for publication in Japan?" Well, Gundam being the granddaddy of all mecha programs, or as we like to think of it, the Gone with the Wind of anime, we were delighted and agreed with the provision that we would have first whack at the English language publication rights. It's a big, beautiful book with masses of detail which also is just darned fun to play whether you're a Feddie or a Zion (or just look like one).


I can't WAIT!
