It's a supplement to d20 Modern available for free on the WotC site (just find the d20 Modern SRD download section). It's a decent system that can be used for the campy (Gundam and so forth) or the decidedly less campy (Mechwarrior and the like).

It's quite enjoyable. I'd recommend taking a look.

I tried to find it on the WotC site, but I could not. Does anyone have a link?

Here's the d20 SRD (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=d20/article/msrd)

Scroll down to "Future" and select "Mecha."

Although it's possible that d20 Mecha is a seperate product I'm not aware of. Either way, the d20 Future Mecha system is pretty good.

I'd say it's a pretty decent system, despite the lack of certain things that would make the campaign a bit more...epic, so to say *coughcoughSuperRobotshackwheezeSpiritCommandscoug hcough*

It works pretty well with the existing rules of constructs, up to the extra HP, hardness and whatnot. However, it seemingly has a limited amount of weaponry, and the sizes are a bit down to Earth (considering that most famous mecha are around the Colossal size)

My gaming group used it as a supplement to BESM, and it worked very well. It's an incredible system and makes for a lot of fun. You can use it for more than just gundams, though. Once we realized that, everyone in the party took a level of mecha pilot because it's so useful. We had two mecha pilots as it was, one with a giant mech and one with a mechanized body suit. The rest of us made cars, jets, and other vehicles, mostly.

If you're going to play BESM d20, I'd say definitely get this book.

Fantasy flight used to make mechamorphosis I think. A game of d20 tranformers in their line of horizon games. (exploring new styles of games)
