I don't think it was the the Rough-riders, but IIRC there was snippet where someone was 'clandestinely' mining the USAF boneyard for old Tomcat airframes to turn into VFs years ago. I don't recall if that ever made it into an actual story though. There was a Boskonian Zaku in the incomplete draft of "The fall of Crystal Osaka", and the AEUG had at least one Gundam in "The South is Rising".
But as for bigger mecha, and large numbers... I don't think there's much for the Gearheads beyond what Dakota and Dartz have done.

Quote:The building of Gunbuster 3 is forbidden by the Gas Giant Preservation Act that forbids the various terraforming projects from raiding the planetary rings for ice boulders. (Besides, the Browncoats kind-of need Jupiter where it is.)I'd imagine attempting to build the Buster Corps, or some version of the Absolute Defence System would also draw a few... complaints too.
