In its original edition, published in 1981,[2] the game was published as a series of three comic-book sized sourcebooks:[3]
LegacyThe first book was revised and republished in an expanded form in 1985.[5] In Spring 1991 Caliber Comics also produced a 3-book series called The Mechanoids which adapted the RPG into comic book stories.[6] In the early 90s "Sourcebook Two" of Rifts was released, titled The Mechanoids, and it included MDC conversions for the Mechanoids for use in a Rifts Earth setting, along with a storyline on how they got there.[7] In Winter 1998 a Collected Mechanoids RPG was released.[8] By 2001 all 3 books were compiled as the Mechanoid Invasion Trilogy[9] which is still available.[10] Mechanoids Space, a complete RPG first announced in 1993 for release the following year, was last promised for publication in December 2002 as late as September 2002.[8] {{As of|2018|post=,}} it is still available in the store labelled "coming soon".[11]ReceptionWilliam A. Barton reviewed The Mechanoid Invasion in The Space Gamer No. 42.[12] Barton commented that "If you can overlook its amateurish production (and the price helps in this), I think you'll find The Mechanoid Invasion worth the investment. It should provide some enjoyable role playing in an SF setting as a break from Traveller or your other favorite SF RPG."[12] Review
