Where can I find mecha schematics? I am writing a short story and need the schematics of the Escaflowne or any other mecha robot to add details to my story. Transformers schematics work too. Particularly, the torso part of the rider and the overall robot itself. I know Transformers don't have riders, but you get the jist.
All the help is appreciated.
A quick Google search led me to this page, where you can find a full list of mechas from the Macross franchise (a quick browse through some pages there showed me that not all mecha have schematics there). For example, this page in particular has all the details for the "Centinental/Kransmann MBR-07-Mk II Spartan Main Battle Robot", along with some perspectives and schematics.
   

Searching Google for "anime mecha schematics" also shows a lot of results (many of them are from the website referred above):  

  

Some of them even seem to be rather detailed, like this one (despite its small size):


You can always follow the images to their source, and possibly find some more results that may interest you.

I also found this other site where you can find some other drawings of mecha from some series, including Gundam. In this one, p.e., you can find schematics for the cockpit (in the bottom):
  

I also found this forum, where you may find something if you have some time and patience (I didn't). For instance, in this thread I found this drawing from Gunbuster.

For Escaflowne in particular, however, I was not able to find anything.
