Is anyone else acquainted with this 1:144 scifi wargame by Canadian company Dreampod 9?
It's influenced by dystopian more "realistic" manga and anime emphasising mecha/piloted battle robots that are small, fast-moving and part of a combined arms force where tanks, infantry, AI drones and striders are present as well. (eg. Armored Trooper VOTOMS).

I am looking at getting the rules and minis from Wayland Games, but can't find any other outlets:

Edit: I found some pics of Armored Trooper VOTOMS, I have to say the minis do seem to reflect their inspiration:
