My personal favorite example is Robotech (maybe because I'm so far
behind in anime). The mecha in that series is transformable and usually
piloted by humanoids. Most large book stores still carry the books and
video outlets normally have a few episodes on hand. Otherwise, typing the
word ROBOTECH in any search engine should bring up a host of sites that will
give more info than is healthy for the average human being :^)
