[QUOTE="Krensky, post: 4669249, member: 30936"] Um... It wouldn't work well at all. The VF-1S Valkyrie (ie. Skull One) variable fighter in battroid mode is 12.68 meters tall (a hair over 41 feet, 7 inches) tall, which puts it in the Gargantuan category, at taking up a 4 by 4 square and has a running speed of 160 kph (just under 99.5 mph). In guardian mode it's at least ten 5' squares on a side and can fly at 500 kph (310.6 mph). In fighter mode it's also 10 squares on a side and is supersonic. Zentradi kit is harder, basic you need to decide if the Valkyrie is sized to match the Zentradi mecha or the Zentradi. You will continuity problems with the show either way. If the Zentradi and Valkyrie's are the same size, that makes them 41 feet tall.

Since you're using Robotech, the VR-052F M.O.S.P.E.A.D.A and the other VR series motorcycles are probably doable on a 5' = 1" grid. The Legioss and TREAD fighters (Alpha and Beta in Robotech) are smaller then the Valkryie, but not by enough to make them fit on the grid. Most Inbit are on the scale of the larger giants in D&D.
