Maybe after I win the lottery I'll build an MS with a diesel
generator. I think the nuclear reactor approach may be too expensive
:)

Ummm... maybe you meant "The yellow rotating suits in ALIENS were full
size"?

What do you mean by "suite"? A diorama, or a collection of mechs from or
with similar features/scales/series, or what?

Ok human shaped mechanical walking combat vehicle a bit like a Gundam.

Oh... you mean Gundam "suit". The phrase "Gundam *suite*" [a selection of
things intended to be used together] threw me.

Coincidentally when I discovered anime back in 1986 in Seattle, I came
across the [then] mysterious word 'Gundam' preceded by the
mistranslated/spelled word 'suite', along with a picture of a humanoid
robot. I thus briefly presumed 'Mobile Suite Gundam' to be a group/suite of
hi-tech moveable/transportable offices or laboratories somehow tied-in with
robots.

Nope.

During that same time I also first saw the word 'Macross' --along with a
different humanoid robot [a Valkyrie, of course]. But likewise having no
idea then what 'Macross' was, I imagined the word to mean a cross between a
machine and a human... a MA[chine] CROSS... and thus 'Macross'.

Nope to that, too.

Sounds funny now, but back then there was no Internet and certainly no
newsgroups. How could most people know anything about anime? Too, there was
no Cartoon Channel and no anime magazines other than Hobby Japan and Animag,
which were both almost impossible to find [if you even knew about them in
the first place]. And mech models were little more than a curiosity,
relegated to a very *very* few hobby or toy stores. The only thing remotely
like them were Transformers, which had just appeared in the US around the
same time. Anime... what was 'anime'... and how did you pronounce it,
anyway?

Right... a habitable 'Mad Cat' figure 12-14 feet tall, welded legs, and
quite detailed. Just amazing.

Technically both existed, but few people outside of academia knew about
them. Why do you think Google Group's earliest searchable date is 12 May
1981?
