I am looking for the name of an anime series I used to watch in the early 90's. I cant remember much but here is what I do remember. There was some sort of alien invasion on earth and the humans on earth fought the aliens with transforming mecha/power suit vehicles like motorcycles and plains. I think this was the later part of a series but again I am not sure. I have been looking for this for years so if anyone can help me out It would be greatly appreciated.
Definitely sounds like Robotech. Which was actually combination of three different unrelated animes.
The second or third series had the motorcylces scenarios.
If you want to buy the dvds, I would gladly sell you the complete DVD singles for cheap if you are in the Toronto area. I could really use the shelf space.
That's not a very good description, as it falls into almost EVERY anime series based on mecha.
Not true. Very few mecha based animes are Humans VS Aliens themed. In fact, very few animes are humans vs aliens based in any genre. Just because an anime has aliens in it, doesn't make mean it follows the theme of species fighting each other for survival or invasions.
His description sounds like Robotech for sure. Especially since he said he watched it in the 90s and had motorcycles as a mentionable element.

whaaaa? Do you watch mecha series? Far more than not they feature giant robot built to beat the alien invasion! Mazinger, Getta Robo, Gai-King, Go-lion, Gaogaigar, the list is endless! Hell, even MACROSS is this way!

Perhaps it is, but I'm just giving examples of other series it could be. Since Robotech was around before the 90s.
thanks everyone. I have watched the first series of Robotech/Macross but I guess I didnt get far enough into the later series'. It is the motorcycles that transform that really sticks in my head and which I think is a rare component to any mecha series as I have watched several to find the right one and have yet to see anything other than airplanes that transform, for the most part.

here's the robotech motorcycles' transformation clip
I remember watching this as a kid in the late 80's and it remember how they all never went together. Then with the advent of the internet I found out why.
