Indeed.

Mecha = Generally humaniod form + Abnormal Weaponry + Angsty Teenage Pilot + V-Fin on its head(optional).

Are angsty teenage pilots a requirement?  :eek2:

If so, I'm afraid our armies are doomed.

Well, it seems teenage pilots are very, very common in Mecha cockpits....Angstiness, while not required, does tend to creep in.

Giant Robot Piloting 101 is part of the standard curriculum in Japanese middle schools, or so I've been told.

Well, if you're in Japan, and you want your Mecha to survive the whole war, yes.

Otherwise, British Mecha work well too.

Thats no mecha it's a Battle Titan :P

Anyway I find Gundam is better the farther away from adolescence the protagonist is.

Well, Games Workshop is a British company, responsible for 40K ...

And technically, yes its a mecha. Recognized by the internet as such.

Well, of course. The character is, or rather, should be, more mature by then.

StarSlayer, you'll never convince Stormkeeper that a Titan isn't a mecha.  He's somewhat a fanboy of 40K judging my his user-made title of "Iron within, iron without".

17:37:11   SpardaSon21: even the males?
17:37:22   Quanto: its not gay if its an elf

[21:51] <@Droid803> I now realize
[21:51] <@Droid803> this will be SLIIIIIGHTLY awkward
[21:51] <@Droid803> as this rich psychic girl will now be tsundere for a loli.
[21:51] <@Droid803> OH WELLL.

See what you're missing in #WoD and #Fsquest?

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

Well, technically, it is. And I'm not really a fanboy. I put that after I read the Iron Warriors novel and felt it was a nice change in pace for the bad guys to win.

You mean the Mortis-pattern Dreadnought?  I've always preferred the Hellfire-pattern Dread with a TL Lascannon and a Missile Launcher.
