Panzer World Galient?
Anybody happen to know some information about this serie? I saw some design of mech and think it's interesting. Too bad, long search with google.com don't return much...

I'm really interested in this series myself, but can't find much about it at all. I LOVE the opening song, I saw it in the 2 hour long Robot Opening Collection vid. Very 80's, and very good.
I found a few images of model kits for Galient, they were quite nice. Who was the mecha designer for this series?

The mecha designers for the Galient TV series were Yutaka Izubuchi and Kunio Okawara.
I suspect that Izubuchi did the initial designs, and Okawara finished them -- that is, "cleaned them up," or, in my own phrasing, "dumbed them down."
For undiluted Izubuchi Galient designs, watch Galient: The Iron Emblem (aka Galient: Crest of Iron). That has really nice redraws of all the mecha, purely by Izubuchi.
For Galient artwork, a great source is:
"SRC File 1:
Sunrise Robots Complete - Real Robots Version"
ISBN4-8124-0660-9
1900 yen
published by Ta-Ke Shobo
This, and its sister book (SRC File 2 - Super Robots Version) are among the very best mecah books out there. Between the two of them, they have comprehensive, full-color artwork of ALL the mecha from ALL of Sunrise's robot shows. Well, up to the year 2000 anyway.

Dr. Mystico: I'll build a private army of super-apes and take over Cleveland!
Cosgrove: Don't you mean the world?
Dr. Mystico: I meant the world, yes. What did I say? Cleveland? Oh, I *always* do that!

I recently saw the first episode raw. It looks really good so far, and would be a series that I'm very interested in seeing more of.
I think there was also a board game called Panzer Blade which is related.
