	Hmmm....as of now there are no "Robotech/Macross" conversions on
the
net.  However there is a set of "Mobile Suit Gundam" rules you might
like to check out.  You can find it on the WWW at:

I also have a link to it on my Unoffical (some say its Unoffically
Offical) Full Thrust WWW Page at (excuse the plug):

	I myself am only familar with "Robotech" and I just saw "Macross
II:
The Movie."  Right now most of the Anime discussion around here are
focusing on "Legends of the Galactic Heros."  But since many of the
concepts regarding space combat in Anime seem to be universal, I think
its prudent to come up with a "Full Thrust: Anime" supplement rules.  We
could work on the generalities like missiles swarms (like James Butler
and I are doing) and beam weapons.  Then we could home in on specific
concepts like MEGA_DEATH WEAPONS (e.g. Yamato's Wave Cannon, Macross'
Reflex Cannon, etc.) and Mecha (I could never figure out the practical
purpose of transformable mecha like Macross' Valkerye in space combat. 
What advantage would a space fighter gain by transforming into a fifty
foot tall robot?).

Any ideas?
