Gonna be honest here, bulky western mechs are cooler than anime feminine sharp edges mechs
Based. Fuck Anime.
>>23636106scopedogs are pretty cool I guess
the atlas is lame though
Armored Core is the perfect middle ground since a lot of the designs are tactical instead of sentai even when a lot of Gundam artists worked on the games. Also battlekeks and titans (titanfall) would get raped by ACs, MAYBE the 40k titans would win but if a starter AC can bring down a coral strider the size of a state I think its a David vs Goliath situation. I know the LC isn’t an AC
>>23636106>gonna be honest hereDisingenuous OPs pretending not to know their origins will never not be funny to me. No Okawara = no BattleTech. Also, fuck this fake glownigger fanbase division. Mecha for life.
Luv' me stompy mechs.Luv' me zoomy mechs.'Ate dick size competitions between universes.'Ate bait threads.Simple as.
>>23636226The coral strider was a civilian mining mech so it wasn't exactly David vs. Goliath. It was more like a fighter jet vs. an oil tanker with a howitzer parked on the deck.
>>23636106Western Battletech-y mechs are tanks. Anime mechs are aircraft. Evangelion is just actual unhinged women fighting while their kids yell suggestions like a genuinely depressing worldstar video.
AND THEY SAY REDUCTIVISM IS BAD!
(you)23636172Then why are you here?
>>23636106>>23636287In these times when I question which region of mecha is better I always consult this video and go to bed knowing it all came from the place https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLtohZ7Z_-I
AtlasCHADS are taking over!
>>23636106It's all so tiresome.
>>23636345Arms Forts
>>23636106>yfw when /v/ is less gayer than /m/reminder that /v/ ac/mecha threads are more cultured than the fucking mecha board.
I get the feeling they were probably stealing from any number of Japanese kits that found their way into American hobby shops.
>>23636106If atlas is so cool. Why is it constantly outshined by the madcat?Besides inner sphere mechs are for fucking faggots
>>23636106Look at you your sissy little curves. Come back when you're square enough boy.
>>23636287>>23637994Scopedog looks too bottom_heavy. Granted, it's supposed to be rolling around and all, but those overly pronounced legs make it look toyish.
>>23637327>Japanese mecha is power armoured mobile infantry subjected to island gigantismhuh...
>>23639203Nobody asked retard
>>23638945this is the embodiment of peak masculinity in metal form according to op
>>23636106all of your “bulky western mechs” source back to 80s and early 90s anime designs. Battletech machines are from Macross, go fuck yourself
>>23641877
>>23637995Type-D. My beloved world boss. Also holy fuck I thought Emperor Titan was bigger.
>>23636106I prefer western style mechs, especially chicken walkers, but I like both
>>23641931I hate western mechs cause it's almost always chicken leg shit. Chicken legs defeats the whole purpose of bipedalism. Hence why Chicken legs don't exist irl. >inb4Pic related retards. Keep making your gay and slow ass walkers. Theres a reason eastern mechs dominated the pop culture.
>>23642154yeah but who cares about all that gay shit, they look cool
>>23639203It looks better in action than lineart
>>23642452>>23639203Scopedogs are a great and sensible design. For some reason thing strong legs are somehow anathema to the western pig reverse legs fans.
>>23636106Sure.
>>23636106>>23637994>>23641877Indeed...
>>23648930
I am so fucking disappointed i can't find a non-watermarked version of this image.
>>23651733Only western design there is sym bionic titan
>>23642154The very second people pull shit like this on /m/ it heads towards one conclusion.remember the /m/antra guys:>LEGS ARE IMPRACTICALStop bringing this crap to the table it looks cool and thats it.
>>23651915Syd Mead designed Turn A Gundam, honey.
>>23651925I keep saying that legs on most mechs are also used as jumping/landing gear as in starship troopers. Treads are a different concept. >>23651911Fucked up that they made it hard canon that all titans are actually pretty small. Like not really tiny but absolutely no mountain sized ones at all, ever.
>>23636106gungriffon series have nice bulky mech design
>>23652048>hard canonSource? Emperor titans have been described as so large that imperial guardsmen go insane in disbelief how huge something can be, visible from space, and a missed shot from a solex cannon causes rapid global warming and destroys the very planet they're standing on. There is no true "hard canon" on their exact size but i just go by the poetic description from literature as a guide.
>>23651925What was it that had some sort of leg with wheels/treads in it and it kicked a guy and spun the wheel/tread into his face in the manner of a belt sander?
>>23652276Since they started making models of them again. 55 metres for an emperor titan. The old models weren't that huge either. It's just BL taking poetic liberty like usual. Eva 01 is taller than an emperor titan by like a 3rd, and even the largest maybe-canon figures put it eye to eye with an emperor titan, ignoring only the spires on top. Big Zam is also slightly taller.You can't sell a model that can't fit on the table, and they want it to play nice at 6mm for epic.
>>23651925It's important because reverse legs are not digitigrade.alsohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I44_zbEwz_wlet's see your ugly ass chicken leg which you insist in shoehorning everwhere do that.
>>23652317WSIT I REMEMBER THAT IT WAS AWESONE AS FUCKWHAT WAS IT FUCK
>>23652769Sounds like another case of the fans treated warhammer better than GW does. Id rather side with the guy who made a "true scale" emperor titan.Doesnt fit on a table but you can always play on the floor!
>>23653110Almost everything that fans think is "canon warhammer" is just decades of hearsay and fanlore. I've never seen a community that knows so little about it's own object of obsession. It's like watching a bunch of kids hyping each other up with urban legends and it gets a little more ridiculous each time.
>>23653134Thats kind of what warhammer is though. Its a mega rediculous OP power trip. You need that retarded fanbase with the hyper passion to fuel it. Like you said earlier: GW will make it less impressive so it can sell. If warhammer was JUST titans then they wouldn't have to worry about scaling them relative to 10ft space marines.
>>23652958Wait when was i shoehorning chicken legs? I like all types of apendages if it looks cool. I was just telling you that in the sense of large machines: all legs are inferior in every field compared to continuous tracks so arguing practicality is silly.Also why would you use boston friggin dynamics as an example against reverse apendages? Those guys just do legs small scale.
>>23652276>Emperor titans have been described as so large that imperial guardsmen go insane in disbelief how huge something can beThat doesn't necessarily prove anything because an imperial guardsman could well be a medieval peasant from a planet where crossbows are considered high-tech.
Both bulk-design and sleek-design are pretty good, for different reasons.
>>23653342>. I was just telling you that in the sense of large machines: all legs are inferior in every field compared to continuous tracks so arguing practicality is silly.Oh REALLY?!
>>23653547Admittedly the physics work out a little differently if we're talking about machines for ants.
>>23651915
>>23653551Sorry, hard to find large pics of the Menzi Muck making the most of its dynamic legs.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=af1J1AbWqH8
>>23653547Yeah except thats a mega specific thing. And i admit it looks cool as fuck but it only uses the legs like outriggers to make itself level. It still uses wheels to move because thats more efficient.
>>23653586>It still uses wheels to move because thats more efficient.It also has to be air lifted to a lot of its job sites, does that mean helicopters are more practical than continuous tracks?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_XiSfdIvo0
>>23653561 how did they fuck up so bad with the kinect steel battalion
>>23653561The apostrophe is particularly infuriating.
>>23653561Just the smallest of edits, for consideration.
>>23653611considering drones are raping billion dollar tanks, yeah.
>>23653611Well thats more /m/ i suppose
>>23651733>list say "western mech">post east mechs
