Post good western mecha

>>23467949 (OP)
does the AMP pull from the scopedog or does it recreate it from first principles (or rather, the aliens loader + attack helicopters)?
also postan warbots

Don’t mind me, just skipping to the end.

>>23467949 (OP)
You first

Imagine being so good, that Armored Core copies your design…

>>23468274
The original Highlander was inspired by Shockwave from Transformers. It's all cyclical.

>>23468274
>>23468288
Only the head is vaguely similar

All of these are bad. Western mecha always look terrible because they lack the fundamentals of Japanese design philosophy and artistic lineage.

>>23468906
Whatever, man!

I unironically like gen V aesthetics

shame those designs were wasted on the awful sequel

The Eldar mechs from Warhammer 40,000 are so fucking cool.

>>23478196
>>23478762
The only one of those designs that's good is Saber Athena. Besides her, only Obsidian Fury is the only good Jaeger design from that film.

>>23479189
Not even, the only good one is November Ajax

>>23479514
November Ajax is fine. He doesn't feel especially notable, which is the problem with the Uprising designs. You put them next to the variety that is Gipsy Danger, Cherno Alpha, Crimson Typhoon and Striker Eureka, and they just look so samey and dull by comparison.

>compares the Basho to the Highlander
>never noticed the Metal Gear REX

>>23468288
But was it though? The similarities are pretty tenuous. Was it stated somewhere that was the inspiration?

>>23474726
Honestly, yeah. These are great. Forgot all about them.

>>23479618
I could see maybe the original Shockwave box art being half remembered factoring into the first depiction of the highlander, but it's definitely not a trace job like the Atlas/Scopedog. Someone should ask Knutson.

>>23475968
Good taste, brother. Shame titanfall was killed by its shitty battle royal spinoff.

>>23481829
Is there any media that actually portrays these things as cool as the lore hypes them up to be?

>>23474726
'Member the Jack Kirby ones and gow they were just giant humans?

>>23482811
>human
well, relative to Kirby's art

>>23468274
Yeah this is a huge stretch. If anything the Basho has more details in common with the Destroid Spartan or even a Legioss.

>>23482867
I mean.

>>23482932
eh, that's more like a humvee shooting a 50 cal at an anthill. The best part of Kill Lupercal is the tense little bit where the pack is being hunted by that shadowsword. It's a good tense moment.

>>23482919
God I can't fucking wait for the new game to come out. The new audiobook made spacers actually sound terrifying.

>>23484274
Qrd on the audiobook? I've been waiting forever for Killers.

>>23486523
If you listened to the first audiobook it's more of the same. And much like the game, it focuses more on infantry than mechs or vehicles. A good chunk of it is out on the stellar jockies youtube, I'd give it a listen.

As for the general plot. It focuses on one of the killteams sent to a corporate world that the SNC was based out of, with the purpose of killing the brigadors from the first game.

Some the the newer battletech shit is neat

Imagine being better than the original destroid design, get a insane upgrade deemed a legend until a perfect state wreck was found and easy to be reverse engineered and rebuilt in less than a year, courtesy of Charles II of Spa.... ii mean THE ilKhan himself who saw a great opportunity reviving the II and III with clan tech

>>23493429
>Imagine being better than the original destroid design

I can't because that looks like bootleg garbage. Japan made enough of that themselves.

>>23493493
that looks like a shitty kitbash which isnt a surprise coming from macross

Thank god battletech survived and macross died

>>23493498
Are you dumb?
