Thread 23422395

/co/ here, do you anons want to have a thread dedicated to robots and cyborgs from western comics?

Fuck off duel.

>>23422396
You're challenging me to a duel? Or is this a meme you anons recently made I'm not up to date on?

>>23422465
OP you encountered the local schizo, Duel is a local strawman for anyone that is not in the umbrella of Imagawa, Universal Century Gundam, VOTOMS, Patlabor, Rayearth, Gunbuster, Godannar, and Macross.

>>23422503
No one posts about half that shit here, Duel.

>>23422535
>Look Ma, I posted it again!
Stop being a jonne. Not that it matters in a year and a half.

>>23422844
refer to >>23422396

>>23422896
Doesn't work because I'm not Duel, schizo. Leave /m/ and never return. You wrecked a perfectly good cross board thread.

>>23422908
See >>23422396

>>23422909
Not Duel, sorry bitch.

>>23422395 (OP)
I really hate western mecha, especially retro stuff like this. They're all so ugly and stupid looking. Even to this day it's extremely rare for a western person to good at drawing mecha.

Back in the 1980s, First Comics published a series called Dynamo Joe that looks pretty cool. I only know about its existence because John Ostrander wrote the first three issues.

>>23424737
Who's the artist?

>>23424939
Doug Rice.

>>23422927
Post the good ones, I agree but I wanna see which ones are good.
The old ones are pretty much meant to look like simple toys

There are some french /m/ comics that I enjoyed it

>>23422927
I feel like it's the difference between "this story needs a robot, so I guess I'll draw a sort of robot" and "holy shit robots are the coolest, I'm going to spend years cultivating the imagery of robots". Ironically a toyetic design is a plus there, you're refining a design over and over based on feedback.

There's still some bangers though. I'd love to find scans of this one.

Ultron 5 is now amassing fellow mechanoids in order to wage war on the inferior human race. That will show dad.

>>23425863
IMO Robby the Robot is one of the only retro western robot designs that actually looks good and can even be called cool

>>23425911
Danger Danger

>>23422465
I think it's just some shit to intentionally shit up a dead board
/m/ is probably the most succesfully shat to death board I've seen, no one is happy.

>>23422395 (OP)
Sure. Just comics or cartoons too? Cause I'm way more familiar with cartoons than comics.

>>23425882
What ones?

>>23426028
Geof Darrow can draw like a motherfucker, the detail in these things is insane

>>23426028
Big Guy was good. Fox animation was really putting out banger shows that shouldn't have been good but were somehow amazing. "Here's a tie in to a will smith movie, here's a multi ethnic revival of ghostbusters" all terrific shows. They made 98 American Godzilla cool as shit.

>>23426034
These were all done by Adelaide Productions, surprisingly solid list of shows for how little talked about they are

>They made 98 American Godzilla cool as shit.

I loved all those cartoons growing up but I never revisited them. They all had amazing alien, ghost and monster designs which is how Godzilla ended up so good. That cartoon and the Hannah Barbera one got referenced in fucking Singular Point of all things. The guy who posted this even missed the Komodithrax tail. So you know they must have sat down and rewatched it too.

>>23426040
>but I never revisited them.
You should. They still hold up extremely well.

>>23426034
This is barely /m/ but Cybersix was amazing and feels like it was inspired by Kamen Rider. Experiment from Nazis escapes and becomes a vigilante. That was one of my favourite weird ass cartoons from back then that had no right being so good. Oh wait I forgot about the giant mecha circus episode. She fights giant kaiju a lot too. By kicking it with her high heels shit was great.

I watched Symbionic Titan recently and it was great. It really didnt deserve to be a tax write off and canceled. I actually found Japanese fan art of it too which makes me happy it actually reached the country that inspired it.

>>23426040
>They all had amazing alien, ghost and monster designs
Fil Barlow was the name of the creature designer on both Extreme Ghostbusters and Godzilla

>>23426043
Samurai Jack has a lot of robots including a giant one so it gets an honorable mention but I wouldn't exactly call it a mecha show. I loved Genndys Clone Wars which had Grievious too which was pretty great.

>>23426043
I've been putting this stuff for years, I should watch it already
It came out when I started feeling bored and tired of TV, not knowing some of the last good stuff was still airing

>>23426028
Ones that I remember:

Really more of a armored cyborg type situation but Rom was rad as hell

YOU! DIG! GIANT ROBOTS!

Don't quarrel with the QUINTRONIC MAN

How does this guy turns his head?

Wonder if it’s blasting this out of the speakers while engaging three super robots

Fleischer Superman was so fucking great

2bf I like it when mechs can't turn their head much, but they can turn their face. FSS does it. Lets you have big head designs while still being able to look around.

>>23440754
Honestly kinda insane that the US could've made high budgeted action cartoons but chose not to

>>23444722
iirc they pretty much bankrupted the studio, so there are soild reasons why most animation shops anywhere ever don't do that, amazing as the results turned out

>>23444722
You have to remember these weren't made for broadcast. They were theatrical shorts and when I say short I mean 10 minutes.

>>23433992
Here's one, iirc it was also made by the crew of the Red Ronin but they were betrayed and it was stolen by an associate who, decided to use its incredible power to steal shit

>>23422395 (OP)
Here's a robot created by the alien madman Yandroth, self proclaimed "Scientist Supreme", old enemy to Doctor Strange

>>23422927
How about titanfall mechs?

>>23434792
Nice. I wonder what more they would hypothetically add
Korra was a trash heap but I can't say the mechs were the worst part of it. At least not the earlier rustbucket tank tread ones that could fit in the first series

>>23444966
why did they need a robot again?

>>23444970
I got no fucking idea, I didn't finish Korra.
They have some normal mecha tanks and suits that make some sort of sense. But the Colossus was to transport the spirit cannon after the not!Schwerer Gustav got busted or something. Which I'm not sure is more practical

>>23444869
Might be the only good mech in western. Unless there are others. Shane what happened to this game.

>>23444175
I agree.

>>23422395 (OP)
Yes I want it.

>>23445541
Kill yourself aquariogroid.

>>23447961
Cool robot.
>>23444970
Because it looks cool.

>>23454072
>Because it looks cool.
It doesn't though

>>23447961
Audaz is a really neat design

>>23422395 (OP)
Micronaut original designs sort of

>>23444869
Not mecha

>>23454392
In what way are these not mechas?

Battletech counts

>>23466999
I distinctly remember Mercury getting a figure back during DC's 75th anniversary toyline. Also how I fond out Scarecrow became a member of the Sinestro Corps, oddly enough.

>>23422395 (OP)
>>23422927
Sentinels are cool.

>>23467039
If you like the metal men watch Gods and Monsters. I dont want to give too much away.

>>23454392
>Seven meter metal giants made by man are not mecha.
Retard

>>23445087
Not the only one.

>>23445541
Why tie and silence her?
