Rule of Awesome.

 

 

More like unmitigated Mary Sue power fantasy if you ask me.  <_<

 

 

Its the same kind of 'not-logic' that lets a katana wielding ninja single handedly defeat an entire army of trained soldiers firing automatic weapons at them because of 'skill'. 

 

 

I also don't particularly care for the Transformers.  B)

Transformers land in a huge metal grinder... Awesome

Also why make a giant 50 - 100 foot tall robot ninja, and then make a 50 - 100 foot tall sized sword or gun for them to carry? It makes no sense. Why not just have the stuff built into the framework of the design?


It's easier to swap weapons when you have limbs. It's also easier to use improvised weapons when your weapons break. Also less training for an operator to use a humanoid robot than to operate a trolley with 3 or 4 turrets.

Why are (almost) all Japanese depictions of giant robots humanoid robot/samurai? It is incredibly inefficient to try and make something that large into a bipedal humanoid.

Because. Giving human form to giant robots allows them to harness spiral power more efficiently. FFS, educate yourself.

Modular weapon systems > having to build giant sized guns and knives to hold in your giant robot hands (IMO). Also, the Main Battle Tank has been pretty effective at what it does and it looks nothing like a humanoid robot.

 

Going out of the way to make a giant robot look like us seems like such a waste of resources. I can understand wanting to make a 'walker' type vehicle, but wouldn't it be far more practical to just make a walking tank than to try and make something look human except 15 - 20 times larger?

If you were just constrained to land, sure. But if you mix flight or aquatic movement into the equation, a more streamlined, less bulky chassis would be more adaptable (in theory).

And don't forget the cost...

 

The mecha suits in Starship Troopers could be done now but the cost would be that of a small space program.

Welp Beerfish has finally snapped.

 

Fast Jimmy... you are our only hope. You're the only one who can buy us enough time to walk out casually.

Oh, now that's a scary thought.

They talk about big guns and all, but what are they actually gonna use? If these things are piloted, guns obviously are too dangerous for a televised event battle.

After the USA robot wins it should use those big guns to shoot testosterone boosters all across Japan to help with their declining population problem.

When your tank runs out of shells it's bulldozer, when the mech runs out of shells it uses the tank as a club. When the mech changes weapons it picks up a new one with it's arms, when a tank changes weapons you need a team of techs, a workshop and a day. :P
