Pity they couldn't just show Macross on its own...

A guy at my gaming store back home wrote up mecha rules for FT. I don't
have them ready at hand, but as I recall mecha just turned into a
different
fighter type... nothing to really distinguish them in combat.

IMO, something as small as mecha wouldn't really make a difference at
the
large scale covered by FT. Possibly the Destroids could be counted as
lots
of little PDAFs (or C batteries if one was being generous.)

A question: what would the transforming cababilities of the SDF Macross
cost? And what effect would they have? If within 1" of an enemy, could
the
humanoid form of the ship attempt a 'boot to the head' maneuver? :)
