Favorite Mecha Designs? (56k warning)

[GenocideHeart]

The title and sub-title should be self explanatory - post your favorite pics of mecha.

For the sake of those with 56k issues, try to limit the size of your pics to less than 200kb each.

I'll start with my favorite Virtuaroid from Virtual On:

Jaguarandi, heh. That was a pretty hard fight...

 

[SotF]

Looks like Leos Klein's Exoshell Core from Armored Core 2.

(Blinks, looks at his copy of the game, and blinks again)

No kiddin'.. :blink:

(Considers posting his AC III Mech, End Game IV)

 

[SotF]

I've still got to win that level in AC2, I can kill the platform and Exocore, but after that it becomes damn hard

 

[toraneko]

Jaguarandi, heh. That was a pretty hard fight...

I was beginning to wonder if there was anyone else who even remembered Virtual On.

IIRC, Jaguarandi wasn't really a Virtualoid - it was a glitch/virus/rogue data fragment, which is why it looks (and fights) like a mishmash of parts from other Virtualoids.

Still a pain to beat, though.

I was beginning to wonder if there was anyone else who even remembered Virtual On.

It's the one where controls involved 2 joysticks, right? Played it a few times in the arcade, but never seemed to be able to get the hang of the controls. Graphics were neat though, but eventually, frustration just won over. -_-

This suddenly makes my reminiscent of the Thexder game from Sierra... :wub:

Jaguarandi was a prototype VR program which one of the VR testers used in the early development stages of the system to set several records, IIRC. It was, however, never purged from the system, and eventually became a buggy enemy program that showed up when the missions shifted from the VR setting to the actual Moon.

Since it was not harmful per se, the VR system's producers left Jaguarandi in. That's why it randomly shows up when the VR missions end and the player supposedly takes control of an actual Virtuaroid for the last few missions on the Moon against Z-Gradt. It sort of signals the end of the 'training' and the start of the real thing.

 

[SotF]

The Metal Head mecha designs were pretty cool

 

[David Alan Abramczyk]

My preference is more "old-school", such as the "Timber Wolf/Mad Cat" from Battletech. Damn me if that wasn't a scary mech.

 

[drakensis]

Being a bit of a gunpla fan, I'm something of a fan of the SEED Destiny incarnation of the ZAKU. Comes in two basic flavors (the standard Warrior as pictured here and the Phantom model for elite pilots) a range of colours and can carry a variety of Wizard packs on the rear for extra firepower (missile pods, gatling cannon or my personal favorite, the positron anti-shipping cannon).

The reason I'm using the cover of a boxed minature is simply because I rather like the models and have a pair (one stock model and one Gunner) on my desk. Given that they cost about as much as a DVD each and can be assembled with no more tools than a nailclipper, my ZAFT legions shall doubtless be growing until not even the distant bookshelves shall be safe from them, bwahahahaahaha!

Jehuty, for taking the term "cockpit" entirely too literally.

 

[GenocideHeart]

Jehuty, for taking the term "cockpit" entirely too literally.

Jehuty and not the female-ish OFs, like Neith, Nephtis and Dolores? You'd think the average fan would find a dickgirlbot more disturbing than a male-looking robot with a phallic protrusion...

Unless you are a futanari fan, then it'd probably be arousing. :rofl:

 

[ttestagr]

My favorite mech is still to this day the Alex from Gundum 0080: War in the Pocket.

 

[Liam-don]

My favorite mech is still to this day the Alex from Gundum 0080: War in the Pocket.

True, the Alex is pretty cool.

Myself, my favorite mecha is the last ride of the "white devil ".

Hell yeah. Hi-Nu all the freakin' way!

My personal favorite has gotta be the General Galaxy YF-21 from Macross Plus.

Seriously, who doesn't love a hypersonic, thought-controlled, transforming mecha with its own pinpoint barrier system and a ridiculous missile payload? It might even be able to carry those "Planet Buster" reaction warheads the operational variant could sling around. :snigger: Delicious.

 

[GhostElder]

I don't know why but I like Getter Robo which is strange as I've only seen one of the OVAs.

 

[Dark_Plague]

Dinobot, bitches.

Roar. (Yes, while that is not my picture, I do own all of those. I was obsessed with Beast Wars when I was young. xD)

 

[Mereo Flere]

Akatsuki Gundam.

Simply because I can't get that one comic where the Akatsuki from Naruto summon it out of my minds.

Oh, and the fact that it somehow manages to reflect every beam attack directly back to the enemy. And has DRAGOONs. And can generate an impenetrable lightwave forcefield. And...

Shit. It's the Uchiha of Gundams.

 

[WannabeKurt]

There, that's cool. A gundam can be beaten. it just takes sneaky tatics, an ace pilot, and a shitload of luck :snigger:

 

[Cornuthaum]

The Marauder class BattleMech.

Poise, grace, and 75 tons worth destruction that only a Double-PPC-Autocannon mix can bring.

And, of course, the Warhammer, the answer to all your problems

--

In almost nine years of MechWarrior fanbeing, I've never, ever encountered a BMech design that I liked more - definitely not the badly designed gundams or the EVA units (what the f is t he horn on Eva-01 for?)

 

[exar]

The VA-3 variable bomber from Macross. I always liked it. It's ridiculous payload may have had something to do with it.

And Cornuthaum, that "Marauder" mech is very similar to the zentradi officer's pod.

 

[drakensis]

The Battletech Marauder is a ripoff/licensing of the Officer's Pod from Macross. There was a legal fuss over it and FASA (who owned Battletech at the time) lost the rights to the images of about 1/2 the original battlemechs.

 

[GhostElder]

And the Warhammer look a good deal like the Destroid Tomahawk

It was probably part of the whole rip off thing at FASA to.

 

[David Alan Abramczyk]

I mentioned back on the 23rd of last month that my favourite Mech is the Battletech Universes' Mad Cat/Timber Wolf-class mech.

Behold, 75 tons of sheer power and menace...

And here are her stats.

Um...It's based of DEMON! the wife of Satan to be exact, so yeah...the horn comes with the territory...Or they tried to scare the angels
