What are some good grounded mech media?

A youtube video of a front end loader. Or the rigged Kuratas duel.
Anime mecha is unfortunately pure fantasy.

watching this rn, besides the whole leg splitting thing i love the design
also wish they just fucking drew the thing but it can't be helped

>>23376318
i see my shilling has actually paid off...
HAVWC is allegedly a miyatake design. he's usually on the more conventional end of studio nue so it was sorta surprising to see him take another shot at a transforming gimmick in this kind of show

>>23373728
Looks good
Reminds me of front mission manga

Metal Gear sometimes.
Avatar (the movie) counts I guess.

>>23367784 (OP)
Votoms

>>23367784 (OP)
I only ever played 3 but front mission was pretty cool and the wanzers felt somewhat realistic

>>23367784 (OP)
gundam

Find a Polish forklift truck driver.

Gasaraki.

>>23387405
least grounded show, fuck you and all gasaraki shills

Why are americans obsessed with this concept of being le grounded, gritty, realistic and especially gruntwank?

>>23367784 (OP)
Obsolete is pretty good for this

>>23387906
>got a cure for insomnia instead
It's good for that at least.

I'm disappointed in you /m/, no Legend of the Blue Wolves?

I'm not the OP, but as an American, we're very practical people. I think Japs do shit because it's cute. Like western mechs act as tanks, while Jap mechs act as robot samurais. One could actually be used in war, the other is literally designed to sell toys to children back in the 1980's.

>>23392945
Now I understand.

>>23392945
What’s top left corner on the western mecha side?

>>23392945
>tomahawk from macross
>standing tortoise from votoms
>western

>>23396472
and I just noticed the krote from maschinen krieger

>>23396208
The AL-97 from Patlabor.

>>23396472
>>23396477
Also BMX-30 from Gungriffon.

>>23396472
That's the Joke

>>23392945
>bipedal tanks
>could actually be used in war
Even regular tanks can barely be used in war. Why not give them jetpacks and full range of movement so they can actually do things before the RPG explodes them

>>23396472
You're a dull boy, Billy

>>23399377
>what if (heavy armor-less) tanks could fly?

small quadrupedal.
put the cockpit low in the belly where it's best protected.
big gun turret on top, missiles and 50cals mounted elsewhere.
mount sensors on top or extendable telescopic poles that can poke out from cover without exposing the main body.
