This is a place to discuss /mech/s in all their glory.

Please try to keep the discussion centered around mechs, robots, and the inevitable apocalypse that will ensue if they decide to revolt.

This is quite obviously not /b/, so if you post off topic, spam, or are completely worthless you can expect to be b&.

More info can be found on IRC (irc.99chan.org) See 99chan FAQ for further help.

This board covers all mech types, but there shall be no bickering about which is better without valid points.

I grew up on mechwarrior, bought a bunch of the books, and several of the games.

Including those two shit mechassault games.
>> No. 1910
MechAssault should be treated like the BattleTech cartoon, and also my third girlfriend: I knew it was a bad idea, but I wanted a little instant gratification and, quite frankly, I was feeling a bit self-destructive, so I went for it.

I'm not proud to own MechAssaults 1 and 2, but if they made a third one I would, much like I would treat an offer from said ex, grudgingly accept due to boredom and the hope it might actually be better.

Let's just wait for MW5 and not mention MA again.

I prefer western mechs. They look more realistic.

Would you mind posting some here?

Shhh man. Your runing the moment. Its not like Snow Raven has ANYTHING to be proud of. Okay, they made Ghost Bear a great big ship. Other than that, invaded by nearly all of their neighbours. Clan Wolverine also decided it was a good idea to nuke them... But at least they have a navy right??
>> No. 1914
seriously the only thing that made the raven good is speed and its narc and thats it...... mind you a narc is a very very powerful bit of omg ass-rapeage when combined with support mechs
>> No. 1924
The Raven was never that great, except that it was the first dedicated scout 'Mech designed in a very long time.

As for its speed, it's only a six-nine (that's walking 64 kph, running 97 kph for those of you who don't play the board game) which isn't very fast. Since KL engines came back into production, a six-nine is almost standard even for medium 'Mechs.

You want a 35 tonner? Stick with a Wolfhound or Jenner.

Gundam wing when I was around 10. Thats also around the time I started to really get into anime. The amount of drama in Gundam Wing overloaded my still maturing brain. A very memorable time in my life.

Dude. It's like the exact same thing for me, except I was about 12, 13.

The Japanese Realization of Gundam Project. Thoughts?........

My thought is that at the moment it is an intense waste of money and resources in there already post bubble burst economy. In order to make it even semi-practical you would need extremely tough but light alloy for armor, which is probable seeing as though there have already been large strides in protective light alloys. But when it comes to a power source we have nothing that can power something so massive and even if we did it would be as inefficient as a hamster powered school bus. Really there only hope is the development of fuel cells which are still quiet a ways off. Also moving some thing like that at even a nominal speed would take something much Much MUCH! more potent then simple hydraulic fluids alone. You would need some sort of super powered pneumatics to get it anywhere. Also even if you were to achieve all this it would still just be a giant fucking walking bullseye that can't possibly be missed in a war zone. Also yes I do hate the Japanese.

I did have some fun with this game, as silly as it was. I always stuck with the starter frame for some reason though. Don't know why. I had a badass color scheme on it though, with some great feet and pod parts.

Let us take a trip down memory lane and reflect upon all the cartoons and anime that have shaped us into the /m/en we are today.

(I would imbed the youtube links, but after a certain number the page just becomes unweildly so for this thread doing it en mass is just not practical)

Protoss = Prototype Tau. Tau were mothballed for a few years, then they went back to the drawing board with them because they didn't want the Tau to be a Protoss ripoff.

I remember hearing someone from Blizzard say that the SC races were influenced by Marines, Nids, and Eldar. We're getting off topic with this how ever.

As >>1581 said, you'd have to scale the peices down a bit. Pic is one of the better power armor costumes I've seen. FUCK YEAH! BLACK TEMPLARS!

Pretty cool story about the latest in prosthetics, which for me, translates to "robotics".

>_> Cybernetics. Close enough though...

Where do I sign up for my robo arm?
