We already have Full Metal Anorak, and the medieval supplement Full Metal
Codpiece.
How about the following FMA supplements?--

1) Full Metal Aussie: now you can go Over the Top, Down Under! 2) Full Metal
Apple: set in Eden, this time you can mash that snake!
5!--no, 3, sire!) Full Metal Arthur:  looking for _any_ Grail-shaped
beacon....
4) Full Metal Arawak: Caribbean privateering and plunder!
5) Full Metal Aardvark: show them the valor of an earth-pig born!
(apologies to Cerebus)

etc....

Not that FMA is mature enough for many variants, but what about one near and
dear to the List Faithful.... our very own Full Metal Atkinson.... (A variant
wherein the combat engineer is king of the
battlefield, and the French are the perennial OpForce...)   (Smile,
John, its your moment in the Sun):)

No again... Full Metal Apocalypse is the game where EVERYONE has to say, "I
love the smell of napalm in the morning..." although in the SciFi supplement,
it it permissible to say, "I love the smell of plasma in the
morning..."...

How about Full Metal Animal? A political game based on Orwell's "Animal Farm"?

Full Metal Amnesiac - but I've forgotten what the game would be about...

modifier for that weapon of weapons, the half-brick in a sock? <g> (if
you don't understand this, read the book).

How about:

Full Metal Anachronism: each side has to fight with weapons (literally)
used in the last war -- or even further back. Can't you just see the
tanks with their turrets replaced by catapults? <g>

Full Metal Anti-social: _either_ one or both sides gets up in a snit
and leaves before the game can be finished, _or_ it's a gang rumble in
which the primary weapon is the steel-capped boot.

Full Metal Atlantis: combat beneath the waves, featuring mermen and
-maids and/or (if you follow DC or Marvel comics) water-breathers. With
fish/whales/octopi as heavy units. Of course, the truly... uh, don't
really know how to descibe these people, so forget it -- might want to
use "Sharkey and George" characters; I kinda like the idea of Col. Claw and
his army as minis....
