Is there a reason votoms explode the moment they do so much as trip?
>>23987509Probably has a big engine on a small machine, therefore big explosion
>>23987509It was animated in the 80s.
>>23987509It looks cool.
The fluid used in the artificial muscles is flammable.
>>23987509 >trip >head obliterated + 5 rounds straight through cockpit + probably a missile cel getting struck this dumb westoid meme has gotten too far
>>23987509They're made as cheap as possible, and since they're expendable, they went with highly flammable fuel for them. A well place shot with light them like a firecracker.
i think i remember an anon here talking about how they were designed for reconnaissance and fighting against infantry and not swarm tactics but since they were so numerous they just gave them to everyone
>>23987509It's this >>23987579in universe it's called polymer ringer's solution
>>23987509splosions make for good tee vee
>>23987509The lubricant that gives them those precise motions is also stupidly explosive
>>23987855They were ridiculously effective when the army had all the Scopedogs and their enemies had nothing but small arms with the occasional artillery but they made so damn many of those things that eventually they fell into everyone's hands and the ones that didn't built their own ATs.
>>23987509Canonically, their hydraulic muscle systems are filled with a highly reactive liquid that's under significant pressure.
>>23987855>>23987925Votoms basically replaced all other military tech by undercutting them in price and killing everything else with swarms of mecha. The background writing establishes that war used to be fought using all sorts of different stuff, including loads of those land battleships that show up occasionally, but votoms undercut the entire war market and there was nothing as effective as deploying thousands of the little shits. They're right in that spot where they cost almost nothing, but they run circles around infantry and carry weapons that can let them punch way above their weight, so there's really nothing you can't deploy them against. Any problem can be solved by just throwing more scopedogs at it.
>>23987546I love Taiga posting and Taiga posters:)
Aerial bombardment > Scoopdoogs
>>23987991>Military industrial complex: the anime
>>23987509Chirico isn't piloting them so they suffer catastrophic issues
>>23988034>throws a bunch of conscripts in scopedogs out of a transport into your airfieldYeah nice aerial bombardment nerd
>>23988034>mfw chirico had to evacuate a sunsa bombardment not once but twice
>>23987585 This. Old fatboy clearly got fucked up bad, I don't know why it WOULDN'T explode.
>>23987509>>23987579>>23987869honestly the fragility of AT's is why I've never been fond of them being included in SRW, it just shatters my suspension of disbelief that they'd represent any actual threat in a crossover context compared to almost any other series that's been included in SRW
>>23994407It wasn't the planet destroying city sized magic robots that did it huh
>>23994407This logic is where you wind up with shin getter and gunbuster as angel summoner and everyone else is the bmx bandit.
>>23994407But you didn't say anything when the likes of Knightmare Frames were throwing down with super robots?
>>23994418>Mitchell and Webb reference on 4chanNice
>>23994407Less criminal than nightmare frames clowning on Leos in the Geass/Wing crossover comic
>>23994418But what if the scopedog popped a wheelie and knocked the gun out of the other mechs hand?
>>23987585You wouldn't believe how annoying it was to actually find a gif of an AT exploding despite all the memes
Don't think about Size Scales in SRW too much.
>>23996405There is like a 20% or something (may have that figure on) difference on targeting larger units or smaller units. Sure Ideon and Gunbuster can just stand on votoms baddies to flatten them, but yeeer gotta make it somehow fair lol.
>>23994975That happened in Layzner with the Dtol squad that fights Eiji and co.
>>2399648310% per difference in size, max possible would be like 3L vs 2S for like 50% less damage done or 50% extra evasion depending on who's attacking who. But there's only a couple of games where there's even units on both extremes. If the devs were worried about power scaling they'd end up with jank like Tokusatsu Taisen 2000 again
>>23996483>>23997052That's why the games are always fucking bullshit and I can't stand them.
>>23997070I don't follow
>>23997123nonverbal autism
>>23997070Because Gunbuster should destroy everything and I should just immediately win the game by having it. My power level lists are superior to anything the Japanese think of. There is only one purpose in life and that is to make sure the stuff I likes can always defeat stuff I do not as I crush people that argue with me with extreme prejudice. One day I will gain the power to have anyone that disagrees with me combust on the spot.I am the main character in this life, you are all pawns beneath me.
