Zoids Game

For those that remember this show great, for those that don't heres a short summary of Zoids.

Zoids are giant robotic animals that can be piloted by humans or control themselves with AIs. Zoids come in variety of different types from giant flying Cargo Whale to small bug like Molgas. Zoids Pilots can even come from different backgrounds and or walks of life. Some Pilots are in  it for the thrill of battle, others the prize money, but there are some that use Zoids as tools of war.

I'm looking for a Mech style game rules that I can adjust to fit a zoids game.

I have a large list of zoids so please, send me a link for the mech game system.

Depending on how customisable I would suggest mekton-zeta.

Or anything from dreampod 9

In most open build systems (Hero, Gurps, besm) it's possible to fluff mechs, but if you really want detail then those are two people used to recommend to me.

I don't know if Battle tech has a build your own robot in the same manner, but they would also be good to look up.

Edit: found these 2 by typing zoids RPG into google:

In reply to dlantoub (msg # 2):

Battletech does, but Zoids DO NOT function in any way similar to Mechs. The build would be broke from the word go. Mainly using Liger Zero as a reference point. My old group used RIFTS and that worked out OK.

Sorry for missing your reply. I really wasn't sure how crunchy you wanted to get with your zoids, as in hit locations and components, which they all provide.

If you want to build a zoid as a bundle of powers that fit a concept eg the liger zero, than any point buy system with appropriate attributes will fit the bill.
