Now that is simple and sheer bad-assery. No bad hair does, no fancy swords, nothing. Just simple bad-assedness along with two armfulls of lasers. What can go wrong with that?

[StratComm]

A lot actually.  One shell into that unprotected knee pivot and you can kiss the whole thing goodbye.  Of course, that's a problem with mechs in general, and why in reality they aren't all that tactically viable even if you could build them.

Spoiler:

Unit 1 in Berserker Mode can run without power. Also, later on in the series, Eva 1 gets an S2 Engine, meaning it can keep going and going and going.

You could probably say the same about a grenade into a set of tank treads as well - its not that a tank is COMPLETELY invulnerable either.

However, for the vulnerabilities present in it and compared with the ones present in the mech and the costs involved, yes, it would probably be cheaper and more viable to get several tanks. That is, unless reactive or much, much tougher armor can be developed that would suit a mech better....

Now... what is the point of mechs? They're big expensive one-manned vessels that are made to destroy eachother? Why not just send in humans? Either way people die.

I'll see your horror and raise you babbling about spiritua. THAT'S horror, son. I came for the giant robots. Robotech keeps the giant robots at the forefront.

And the game is only over if you're conceding your defeat to me.

now if they could only do a battletech game that has proper colision detection.

I don't see why you're still posting land-based mechs, when I just posted one as big as the moon...

[NGTM-1R]

'cuz those are boring. And also low-detail ugly.

AND invariably get destroyed by much smaller machines which belong to the good guys.

true. but that's not because of the design or anything, that is because the good guys always win in the end. with a few exceptions.

[NGTM-1R]

Exactly. The Plot itself frowns upon such mecha. Can we do anything less?

[kode]

well, it was taken down by 15 fleet-killing ships, no mecha. it'd still beat any mecha around. especially after terraforming the planet the mechas are on.

Pawel is a brilliant modeller and 3D artist in general. When I was working on Mechwar3D (as webmaster) he was relatively well-known...that was about 3-4 years ago.

Eh?

EVA might be bigger, but Escaflowne can teleport, has integrated beam cannons, a sword that cuts trough practicly everything...and oh, let's not forget that it can alter reality

Thats why making a completely humaniod mech is better. When a man loses his arm, he's still far from imobile - he can hop on one leg or drag himself in the desired direction (for a mech with high powered arms it would be even easier), and still shoot or roll.

[aldo_14]

I have to be honest, if there was an easily moddable mech-game out there, I'd be gone like that...........

[Ford Prefect]

[Grey Wolf]

I honestly did not picture Marvin as being anything like that.

[Fineus]

That's because that is the crappy "new" Marvin. The older version was better.

[Getter Robo G]

Gunbuster (with Black hole bomb), Detonator Orgun (with his Solar Cross), and me with Star Enigizer...

nuff said...

(teleportation is very nice, but what's the range...)

[EDIT]

  Forgot about Aphrodite and Venus with their missiles. Not really that powerful but it's cool as hell to have to hot women scream out..

"BREAST MISSILES!" every time they fire those metal sweater puppies  (should I post a pic?)

I didn't like that one, myself.  And the new one has too much of an iPod look to it (particularly as the head is far, far too big).

You really haven't watched Eva have you?  You also seem to have an misconception of Escaflowne...


Escaflowne's sword is (liquid) metal.  It can't cut through anything.  It'll just cut through whatever Escaflowne is physically capable of slamming it through.

The part about messing with reality and fate is Hitomi's ability, not Escaflowne.


Unless you're referring to the Movie version of Escaflowne (which from the pictures you aren't) which can cause storms and lightning to destroy everything XD



EVA-01

First of all, this thing is huge as a skyscraper.  Escaflowne would come up to its knees at best.  But it still moves with the agility of a human.  Scaled that high it's really quick.

In one of episodes, it also moves faster than the eye can see.

EVA's aren't robots but giant monsters with armour plating.  That's why they're not mechs really.  They do need power to operate in general but EVA-01 has a built in S2 engine later that provides unlimited power.

Not to mention that EVA-00 took a N2 mine explosion to the face with only miniscule damage despite not having an AT field on.  N2 mines are nukes in case you didn't know.

Eva can also regenerate.

Oh yeah, EVA-01 has the ability to end the world.  Kinda overpowered but meh.  It also sprouts eight (or was it six) wings and flies when it's doing its world ending business.
