Why is it that theres such a relative lack of Mecha manga nowadays? There are a few great examples, like Linebarrel, Mazinger Zero, and Getter Robo, but there doesn't seem to be much outside of Gundam spin-offs nowadays.
Are there any magazines that focus on them?

There's a ton of them but most of them aren't being translated, maybe not even scanned. FSS comes to mind.

Where are they hiding then, I guess. I don't see any on japanese manga bestseller lists or recommendation guides, baka updates isn't showing any, and when I searched myself when I was in Japan in August I didn't see really any.
I was kind of hoping to find a good small one to import and scanlate

Learn to use Share. Look through 2ch threads and 2chan for batch releases from magazines. You'll have to do a fair bit of research through Nip resources to find which mecha manga is out there in each of those magazines, but it's definitely there.

For example, Model Graphix used to run Dragon's Heaven, Newtype still runs FSS, etc. Rune Masquer has 6 or so volumes released but has never been scanned. There's an absolute bucketload of them if you know where to look. But getting your hands on them is nearly impossible for a gaijin.

Thankfully I have a friend in Japan. Will begin looking for some raws.

Ive found one mecha manga that just started in Champion Red by the author of Jinki; Wolfman Machine Winvulgar (my incredibly literal translation of 人狼機ウィンヴルガ).

Well maybe you fags should talk about manga more. Half the newfags bitching in the Origin threads didn't even know it was based on a longer manga by a Co-creator of the whole Franchise, and the ones that did didn't even know it ended years ago.
The first step to getting more Supply is to show some Demand know what im saying?
