Mecha Scenarios/Adventures?

Hi guys,

So I've gotten a hold of both Cthulhutech and Starship Troopers, and they go together a lot better than I thought. I really don't like the idea of the Nazzadi, which seem way too anime for me (dark skin and fangs, it's like drow vampires in mecha!). I was also underwhelmed by the Migou mecha, which look like bugs but aren't actually bugs. So why not just use the bugs from Starship Troopers?

I find it even more interesting that in Starship Troopers, the bugs are inhabiting Yuggoth--I mean Pluto. Coincidence? I think not!

Anyway, being a GM with little time on his hands, I'm curious as to what RPG (not miniature) scenarios are out there that are set in mecha-based campaigns. It doesn't have to include mecha in every scenario, but it should be in some scenarios.

To my distress, there's a ridiculous amount of setting material and precious little adventure/scenario material for modern games. I'm thinking of Heavy Gear/Jovian Chronicles, which will deluge you with information about the worlds but not much in the way of adventures.

Any ideas? Any other games I'm missing? I'm confident I convert anything to my system of choice (D20 Modern), but the raw material seems very sparse when it comes to scenarios.

Yeah; I've got a writing credit in two of the books. :)

Problem is that's more steampunk than the mecha/scifi I'm looking for. Although with Cthulhutech I suppose it's mecha/horror.

If I ever do get around to running this game, it will probably draw heavily on the material for Call of Cthulhu's End Times, but that is very non-mecha-oriented, as well it should be. I'm just looking for generic scenarios that involve mecha (even if only as a backdrop). I can't find even ONE to date.

The closest seems to be Rifts, which makes me nervous as to what I'll end up with since Rifts has so many variables, mecha just being one of them.
