A few months back we had a nice little thread about this series of novels and their live action, anime, and manga adaptations.
The legendary real life Japanese robot, Gakutensoku makes an appearance early in the series: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gakutensoku
The series has an antagonist whose appearance was the inspiration for Capcom's M. Bison, too. His name's Kato, and he wants to make Tokyo into rubble.
I figured I would start this up again and include some links of interest:
