Excellent choices for mecha genre examples there CADmonkey!
I believe that Mekton Z supports stuff closer to Gundam, Macross, and Patlabor than Mazinger, Getter Robo, or Megas XLR, though that definitely shouldn't stop them from trying. I'm eager to see if it hits peak goofball and goes all Diebuster or Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
