OK, now I want to get started with moding Mecha kits into Transformers, and since I'll have to import them I was wondering what the best and coolest series of Robot model kits are to get, I want lots of articulation and guns.
Can you help me please?

I've seen a lot of really good "Mecha to Transformers" with these kits.

I remember a few years back seeing some MacRoss stuff all over.

Also, Japan seemed to moldel kit everything. I'd just go to ebay and try searching Japanesse moldel kits, find what you like then mix and match :-?
