Description:
MECHA-MADNESS and HI-SPEED HI-JINKS!

In the first test of a revolutionary personal battle-suit, the MADOX-01, ace female test-pilot Ellie Kusomoto smashes an attacking tank force and humiliates Lt. Kilgore, Japan's most mach tank-jockey, in the process.

Kilgore swears he'll get even, and he gets his chance when the prototype MADOX literally falls off the back of a truck in the middle of Tokyo.

Meanwhile, the MADOX, which fell off the back of one truck, off a bridge, and into the back of another truck, has founds its way into the hands of college student Koji Sujimoto. Intrigued by the MADOX, Koji makes the big mistake of fooling with it without reading the manual first, and soon finds himself locked in the suit and zooming around downtown Tokyo.

Unfortunately, even though Koji doesn't know how to fight, the MADOX does a pretty good job on automatic, resulting in a firefight the likes of which the local residents haven't seen since the last time Godzilla hit town.

Concerned about the property damage being caused to some of the world's most expensive real-estate, Ellie dons a second prototype MADOX and tries to find and rescue Koji before Kilgore's many minions totally trash Tokyo.

Meanwhile, Koji has his own problems: if he breaks his date with his girlfriend, he will lose her forever -- and he's a tad overdressed for the occasion!

Will Koji be late for his date? Or will Kilgore make him "the late Koji?" And more importantly, is it possible to eat take-out shrimp in a battlesuit? The answers to these and many other questions await you in METAL SKIN PANIC MADOX-01.

In Chicago, ace courier Bean Bandit rules the road, and operates on both sides of the Law.

"When it absolutely, positively, has to be there NOW," Bean Bandit is your man -- if you can afford his rates.

"Worried about the getaway from your next heist?" Leave the driving to Bean!

Unfortunately for Bean, and even more unfortunately for the Chicago P.D.'s insurance company, he's about to have to demonstrate why he's so expensive.

The plot begins to thicken when Bean drives getaway from a robbery (score: 6 police cruisers and 1 18-wheeler). The crooks are a little ticked off to find out that Bean;s flat rate fee accounts for almost all of the proceeds, but business is business. Curiously, as soon as Bean leaves, their annoyance disappears.

The next day, Bean and his heavily-armed assistant, Rally Vincent (deadly with both gun and frying pan), receive a visitor with a young girl in tow.

The visitor barely has time to beseech them to return the girl to her father before a hit-team Swiss-cheeses Bean's apartment. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't have Bean's taste in clothes (all Kevlar, including his underwear!)

Bean and Rally bundle little Chelsea into the car and make tracks. Alas, what they don't know is that the kidnappers have already made off with the $2,000,000 ransom, leaving them to take the rap.

Will Bean discover the ruse in time and get the money for himself? Will he be able to evade the relentless pursuit of Inspector Percy? Will the Chicago P.D.'s insurance company raise their rates? Find out by watching RIDING BEAN, one very high-octane action-adventure!
