Everything in this book. NotSkynet decided to kill humanity with its drone army, but humanity managed to fight back by looting destroyed drones for weapons and shit yo. In response notSkynet created nanomachines that targeted all construction metals and reacted to human contact. A rifle coated in nanomachines would not fire when a human is holding it or fire at the most inopportune of times. A truck coated in nanomachines would not start for humans or become uncontrollable while driving. A spoon coated in nanomachines would sprout metal tentacles to impale your hand. Using gloves, suits, pliers, sticks or whatever to interact with metal without direct contact did not help, because nanomachines were smart enough to recognize human shenanigans. Basically everything metal was off limits for humanity from that point on. So humanity leaned hard into biological warfare and when I say biological warfare I mean growing living organisms that can be worn as battle suits.

Nah, fully artificial but the concept was discovered while studying ocean biomass.
Also, >Domin. All the worse. God hasn’t the slightest notion of modern engineering. Would you believe that young Rossum then proceeded to play at being God? >Helena. (Awed) How do you mean? >Domin. He began to manufacture Super-Robots.

Digimon just put out one of my favourite biomech things. MetalGreymon doesnt really combine flesh and metal in the same way but it's still great. And the OG blue one is one of the best Digimon ever. But this thing just hits the right biomech spot for me.

I wish we could pilot some of the mechs. I know the developer had a stance against pilotable mechs, but I absolutely wished for it and hope on a tiny sliver chance they change their minds.

It has a lot of cool enemies. A mode where you can play as them and hunt down salvagers like in terminator resistance's infiltrator mode would be much appreciated, even if it goes against their "you not this guy, you that guy!" marketing.

What's the actual sauce for this? Did this come from Tomino? It wouldn't make much sense since IDEON is constantly getting wrecked throughout the show and getting repaired

I think its true self was stated to be 'trapped' in an energy form within the machine. Tried finding the screenshot but can't, I might be remembering wrong

I guess the horror/gross out factor's too much to pass up for most. Perhaps they think making a heroic biomecha means extra work for less room to run wild with the design.

Robocop 2, actually. Attempts to make a successor unit to Robocop that failed because the human components immediately went mad upon activation. Murphy was a one-in-a-million rare success because he was far more moral and dedicated than the average cop.
The "successful" Robocop 2 unit was built from a drug-addicted madman, thus he didn't go insane upon activation, because he was already gone.

It's been something like 15 years since I've seen it, I just remember it being the first time I saw a pantyshot and her little animal thing bites her

These are pretty slick, I like they're not just "Metal armor with gooey joints" like a lot of biomecha, not thats a bad look, mind you.

Maybe you good folks can help me find an OVA or movie, I can't remember which it was. I remember the plot, because there was practically none. Bad guy was giant biomecha kaiju, good guy was red and silver biomechanical kaiju, they threw down and there was some fun tech babble about dimensions. I watched it during the early 2000's on tape, but it looked like it was made in the 90's. Is this ringing a bell for anyone?
