This thread is made of pure awesome.

Wow, this thread is awesome. I just signed up to say that.
And, to post a few things I'd made for my d20 Akira project. These were made using the d20 Mecha Compendium (a truly astounding book), for an upcoming Modern game set in a rough equivalent of the film's environment, for my IRL gaming group. None of them have ever seen or read Akira, so it's gonna be really fun.

Honda SK, 2019 Model
The Honda SK, 2019 model, is a racing bike of exceptional design. With a top speed of 200 miles per hour, it out-races most competition, and its superior handling allows it to speed through gaps other drivers can only imagine.
The Honda SK is 2 squares long, one wide. It has room for a driver and one passenger.

Crew: 1, Passenger(s): 1, Cargo Capacity: --, Initiative: +2, Maneuver: +4, Top Speed: 325, Defense: 11, Hardness: 4, Hit Points: 20, Size: Medium, Purchase DC: 28, Restriction: Lic (+1)

Satellite Orbital Laser
This weapon orbits the earth silently, and when ordered fires a laser blast capable of destroying most in its path. The computer controlling SOL is based out of Neo Tokyo. Not designed for re-entry. If SOL is destroyed, the firing mechanism becomes locked and begins to bombard whatever region it's aiming at in a half-mile radius randomly.

Crew: --, Passengers: --, Cargo Capacity: --, Initiative: --, Maneuver: --, Top Speed: Geosynchronous Orbit (I don't even wanna think about that in character scale), Defense: 6, Hardness: 5, Hit Points: 40, Size: Gargantuan, Purhcase DC: 60, Restriction: Military (+3)

Weapons and Systems:
Secure Microwave Com (+6 to resist jamming and interception)
100 mile High-Res Radar
Basic Remote Control
+5 Targeting Bonus to all slaved weapons (only one)
1 10d20 Laser, 20/x2 (Ignores armor, creates a 30' blast radius, has a range increment of "Orbital", takes 4 rounds to recharge after each firing, is static)

Akira-Class Jumbo Heli-Transport
Sadly, I can't find a wiki link or a pretty name for this vehicle, so let's go with this. This behemoth vehicle sports several defenses and a roomy interior. It was used by the Japanese military after, or possibly during, World War 3.
The Akira-Class Jumbo has a flight ceiling of 8500'. It is 30 squares long and 24 wide, with a "wingspan" (length from top of one blade to the other) of 32 squares.

Crew: 6, Passengers: 30, Cargo Capacity: (Unspecified, but the Sick Bay and Science Bay can be removed for... I dunno, I can eyeball it later), Initiative: -8, Maneuver: -8, Top Speed: 264 (26), Defense: +10, Hardness: 10, Hit Points: 150, Size: Colossal, Purhcase DC: 41, Restriction: Military (+3)

Weapons and Systems:
Secure Tactical Radio (+3 to resist jamming and interception)
Countermeasures (Laser Warning Receiver, Radar Warning Receiver, Electronic Emission Sensor)
4 Search Lights
Science Lab and Sick Bay
2 Mile optics, 1 Mile Infrared sensors
+2 Targeting Bonus to all onboard weapons systems
4 Day Endurance
4 Person Service Crew
4 7.62mm machine guns (2d10 Ballistic, 20/x2, automatic 100 foot range inc) Multiple Gunners

-That's all I've got so far. I had to eyeball the Defense for the bike (medium, made of light steel) and the orbital laser (-4 size).

Isn't it pretty close to the Apache?
