What size would you choose and why?Do different sizes have different thematic advantages?Does size even matter?
Size definitely matters. Generally, the bigger the robot, the more over the top and fantastical the show is.And I think you really have to go big, like skyscraper size is probably the ideal size. Big enough to where you're not inviting questions about why you don't just use tanks or drones instead, but small enough that things still happen on a scale you can comprehend and you could somewhat reasonably have it take place in any environment with however many robots you wantedThat's why you don't really get planet sized and above robots outside of series endings and movies, they're just too far removed from what a human can comprehend. Even something as big as Gunbuster or the SDF-1 is a bit much
>>23917171Just a bit less than a mini mecha
at what cost OP?
Bigger is better.
>>23917171 larger mecha necessarily need to be supported by a larger support structure and you get to critique systems through that smaller mecha can be managed more easily by individuals or small groups and so while small mecha isn't necessarily bad at system critique you get more angles for what the story can do i like small because i want significant tuning and customization culture to be present
BIGGER
>>23917171The biggest they'll let me. Skyscraper size is perfect.
>>23917171Between bear-sized and car-sized, so ~2.5m tall. For logistical purposes, everything bigger than a truck requires a whole maintenance team but within those constraints it can be feasibly maintained by a single mechanic or even the pilot.
