always had a thing for Giant Robo
God Gundam from G gundam is one of my favorites. I cant find a nice pic of it so this will do

It's like you are the piece of evidence that would refute the out-of-africa theory forever.

Knight of Gold Muthafuckas!
muh nigga
>>11150884
what does that even mean
Alot of stuff from Armored Core
I'm rather fond of Noblesse Oblige and White Glint
>>11150895
Damn, I forgot them. My favorite was particularly Oracle. Since he had that linear rifle on his right arm. Always wanted to use them but nexus was too hard for me.
>>11150909
Armored Core don't joke around man
You seen those Japanese play?
God damn son, I wish I could go fast like that
>>11150917
Yeah, they were OBing the whole time while they were locking on their opponent. Never thought of the technique since it might deplete my EN.
>>11150949
It's absurd man. those japanese are crazy
>>11150886
Choosing which Mortar Headd to post is painful because they're all fantastic, so I'm just gonna dump a couple.
i really liked metabots and the bosses from megaman zero series, i don't know if you guys consider them mechs though (i'm new to /m/)
Alright I think that's enough for now.
>>11150859
Too many to choose from so I'll just list the series that have my favorite designs.
Getter Robo Go - Arc, FSS, Gothicmade, and Dragon's Heaven.
I like basically anything from Nagano, Ishikawa, Nagai, and Kobayashi.
>>11150991
You're almost a pretty cool guy, but

>>11150949
Are those... knee guns?
>>11151118
Yeah, I think it was influenced by or influenced one of the gundam 00's robot
Big O is love.
Absolute personal favorite here
>>11150917
Dang, what is that layout? Also damn son that's NASCAR levels of advertising.
YYYYYYEAH BITCH
awwwwwww yis
>>11150985
mech includes any kind of robot and extends to things like armored exoskeletons and tanks, so you're good. We have mm threads on here pretty regularly.
>>11150864
I like Nagano's designs for Brain Powered, since they hold true his usual structure without going crazy on the details. Not that I mind those either.
>>11151007
The German mech was my favorite.
>no overdesigned crap
>someone keep post Mamoru Nagano
top kek
>>11152295
God, all the bitching and moaning about a perfectly fine shanker.
>>11152312
I must have missed this bitching and moaning, peripheral as I am to the community. Why were there complaints? Nothing jumped out at me from the stats.
>No generic gundam
>No GM
What the fuck did you just fucking say about my Jimmy, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Titans, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Axis, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire E.S.F.S. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Solar System, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the space and your Minovsky particle's dispersion pattern is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the E.S.F.S and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the space, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, spacenoid!
>>11150859
>>11152340
> Why were there complaints?
Oh, the usual - too expensive BV-wise and not clantech enough.
Tetsujin-28FX - not only an awesome re-do of a classic retro-mech, but a unique design in its own right.
>>11152612
I don't think you know what "unique" means. That thing looks hella generic.
>>11152639
When 28FX first came out it's "look" and proportions were unconventional...things that were copied later, hence seemingly "generic" today.
>>11152678
Proportions maybe, but it looks like a generic Gundam-clone toy robot.
>>11151375
Still the best
>>11150895
The rats have come out to play...
I cried.
>>11150880
This
The Devil gundam was pretty unique too
>>11150859
Simplicity is best
>>11150859
>overdesigned crap
You're not my mom you can't tell me what to do!
>>11152340
It just runs really, really hot. I mean, it is a hit 'n' run mech, but a running alpha generates thirty heat.
I think it could have gone with two ER meds and some more DHS or something, but there's something to 24 damage with a +0 to-hit at 6 hexes.

Code Geass.
They're grunt KMFs.
>>11152764
The Zeta was probably the single best design in the show. Everything else varied from remakes of older stuff to...just plain weird.
Wing Gundam Zero always makes happy, when I look at it. Especially since this was completely unique, when it debuted.

>>11153836
>The Zeta was probably the single best design in the show
lol no
Sure, it's the only Gundam ever that very almost doesn't have a garbage design, but the rest of the designs in the show are so godly it doesn't even compare.
Speaking of which...
>>11151009
>>11150988
what about it?
I love the Kampfer. It almost doesn't look like it belongs in the Gundam universe. Gundam started the "Real Robot" subgenre, but it has always had a hard time adhering to the guidelines it laid out.
Kampfer is a REAL Real Robot. simple, understated, and brutally efficient. sucks it got chewed up by that bitch and her sneaky trick guns ;_;
>>11153890
no... Gundam usually features hilariously impractical mecha like the Kshatrya. still... that is a beautiful machine. equal parts chivalry and savagery
>>11153890
I wouldn't say it looks out of place but the Kampfer is a damn fine machine. My opinion of it is slightly soiled by the contrivances it pulled to beat the K9 in its Amazing version, but I can't hold it against the design.
How Real Gundam's stuff looks depends on the series and the designer. In Seed, for instance, Okawara was instructed to have bright, colourful, toy-like design so that's the fault of the director.
>>11153836
>Everything else varied from remakes of older stuff to...just plain weird.
Hey, I liked the plain weird.
>long long legs
>tight robot booty
>occasional yandere tendencies
OH JEEZE
why'd later phantasy star games have to mess up my husbando so much? they made shota hucasts, then pso2 lets you put humanoid faces on CASTs... what's even the point?
>>11154442
Also Byalant. Never enough Byalant.
>Zeta-Byalant Superior.
>>11154454
Lastly, I was a fan of the Memedorza. Not sure why but it and the Godzorla really appealed to me.
>>11154447
RAcast was here
HUcast a shit
>>11154442
always wondered what Hasegawa Messela custom would look like.
>>11153890
>Real Robot look
I feel armored core does it more effectively
>>11154447
I like Kireek.

>>11154447
>>11154689
I'm quite fond of this CAST that Okawara designed. It's got Dragonar feel to it.
Okawara isn't a great artist but his colours are mighty fine.
>>11153766
That's not a Hellstar.
>>11154757
>OP clearly asks for "not over designed crap"
>posts tittyfall
also, not /m/
>>11154757
That's a nice Mech
>>11152756
In all fairness, unit 1's pilot probably has a lot to do with that.
>>11155020
That...that's District Nine...isn't it?
>>11155451
Oh wait, never mind, I misread your post. I'm retarded tonight, sorry. Have a cool Galient knight mech to make up for my dumbness.
>>11155460
>>11155451
No, I'm pretty sure that's Titanfall
>>11155624
Then you're pretty incorrect.
The Hy-Gogg is one of the few non-bog-standard mecha designs in the Gundam franchise and it so happens to be one of the coolest designs, if not *the* coolest design in said franchise.
It'd have to waddle pretty badly in order to walk, granted, but in the show it spends a lot of time boosting around grinding itself against asphalt to move.
>>11154757
>That ammunition clips in pouches
Its freakin practical (putting those giant fingers to good use) but based on the pouches placements is it correct to assumed that the machine is not designed to take lots of hits?
>>11156904
>clips
You're retarded
>>11156904
The mechs in Titanfall actually take a massive pounding in general.
>>11156904
I always loved how in Patlabor they just directly scaled up a .38 Special police revolver and a SPAS-12, with no regard as to how they hell you'd reload the things without physically exiting the labor. I wonder what franchise they were making fun of.
>>11156904
Yes and no... They can take quite a beating, but they're also disposable as, they can completely assemble a brand new one and send it down from orbit in two and a half minutes.
>>11156904
>clips
gtfo nogunz
>>11156963
But the best part of mecha is the maintenance crew losing their shit at the work that the pilots make for them
I was always a fan of merrygate
>>11157127
You were never alone.
>>11150859
>No generic gundam or chickenwalkers or overdesigned crap.
Don't hate the player, hate the game.
>>11157002
Agreed, but it doesn't work for a fast-paced shooter.
>>11154454
Byarlant's not bad but that fucking goatse thruster. It's ridiculous.
>>11155007
Is that...?
Best
>>11157254
Lol'd
>>11155251
Isn't that just the Xi Gundam?
>>11154757
Eh, least it's not a Stryder
>>11155020

>>11157857
that interview was pretty lol
>"Mech is kind of a dirty word with us, we don’t like it. These aren’t mechs," he said. "They are something totally new and different. The Titans are really an extension of the player."
>Titans are people that carry guns and have people sitting in their torsos, like every Japanese mech ever designed
here, have some sort of weird glaug officer's pod variant
>>11157866
westaboos don't want to be weaboos even tho they are going to end up relying on them to pay their overhead
>>11157954
>head on top of torso that looks like it has eyes
>magazines going into the P90's magazines
Why.
>>11158062
Because muvluv has terrible mechanical design.
>>11158130
>Because muvluv is terrible
ftfy
>>11158062
I sort of figured that top barrel was a grenade launcher. I know next to nothing about Muv-Luv tech, though.
>>11158062
>You'd rather have your densest sensors stationary like on a fighter-plane fixed and only able to do long-distance scanning directly infront of you, would you? lol okay. That sounds like a design flaw to me. Stop belly-aching over a positive design choice because you prefer a negative one: these things are never ever expected to tank strikes -- more heavily armoured TSF actually fare far worse in combat than lighter more nimble TSF: Its all about speed, manoeuvrability, awareness, loadout, ease of motion (close combat is a big deal) and above all having as much dakka as you can fucking carry.
>Ease of drum exchange: They're not magazines.The gun also has two drums, not one -- one for each of the barrels: a flechette gun and a slug launcher. Generally the slug cracks armour then the flechette does the real damage.
Cry harder.
>>11153890
Its a middle-weight brawler that backfired. So because the generators available were underpowered, they tuned what they had for high performance (shortening the component life-span) and got rid of any "unnecessary" plating and by loading it with weapons that don't need energy to fire (which lack ammunition), turned it into a nice straight-in-straight-out assault machine.
It excels in lots of specific scenarios but its unsuitable for general purpose combat because it lacks longevity, ruggedness and reliability.
Gonna fug yu in the guts
Wiff an I beam lel
Structurally sound, strong, resilient, versatile.
In one word, Mazinger Z.
Impulse pick: Shogo Mobile Armor Division's Ordog advanced series 7. Note: They should have made unit illustrations instead of just 3D models.
There's no force composition that isn't greatly improved by the inclusion of a Black Knight.
>>11150859
But you already posted it.
>>11157898
Whoa.
Reminds me of this other odd one.
>>11157254

>>11157866
>"Mech is kind of a dirty word with us, we don’t like it. These aren’t mechs," he said. "They are something totally new and different. The Titans are really an extension of the player."
Bull fucking shit. There's all sorts of extension-of-the-user /m/echs. The devs are just CoD faggots who think they're too cool /m/echa.
Back on topic, I like the Geara Zulu. I think the stalhelm really embodies the "space nazi" look that Zeon is based around. Also the ornate cuffs and darker tint look much nicer than the Zaku II's medium green. I love the Zaku, but IMO the Zulu is a great refinement
>>11159572
The Man don't tell me how to do shit, son. I roll how I want, you feel me dog?
>>11150864
ya blew it
Dom line units kick so much ass
>>11157825
Muteki Banchou Bakuraiga, by the Linebarrel pair.
>>11157898
FASA redesigned the Marauder after they got slammed with lawsuits, and I like it better.
>>11159601
Man, they really made a great spiritual successor to the Zaku. Hardly sleeker and not covered in the thrusters. Too bad there were dozens of terrible mook designs the moment Zeta began
>>11159668
But that's not it. And the original IIC is unseen now too.
Something about the Sinanju just felt right.
If not this the Crossbone Gundam is up there.
>>11159787
>And the original IIC is unseen now too.
Mostly just because FASA was being a baby.
They commissioned that artwork themselves, it's not like the design is from any franchise but their own.
>>11159791
It's a Zeonic themed suit that alludes to Zeon with the ornate cuffs, red color, moneye and fin, but have the proportions of a gundam. It really is a fine design
>>11159817
Eh, considering BattleTech has never pulled in so much money as to be able to easily afford a law suit, not to mention the legal clusterfuck of confused IP's it got into, I can understand their decision to just wipe the slate clean entirely and stick purely with their in-house designs. Anyway the only decent one was the Jenner IIC, it is so fucking sexy.
>>11154649
Armored Core do that good, but when we hit V/VD it get a hell a lot hard on that aspect, something I like
>>11159840
Its standard equipment too was very straightforward. It didnt have anything too crazy and thank god they didnt put funnels on it. Keep that shit on Qubeleys. Overall it reminded me of Tallgeese in a majestic way.
>>11159913
oh yeah, Armored Core is probably one of the best thing for "real robot" out there, and I hope that if the near future we manage to get real mechas, I hope they look a little like AC
>>11159888
>Anyway the only decent one was the Jenner IIC, it is so fucking sexy.
I don't know how you don't love the Whammy or Locust IIC.
Oh, and the fucking Rifleman IIC. Goddamn that's a beauty.
post the best mech designs: no mech designs allowed
fucking nazi
>>11160014
I dont know why the problem with chicken walkers is, but the gundam restriction is good, we can see new things now
i like meks 2
>>11157228
if Armored Core ever go as massive franchise, I hope Merry get her own manga or game, OR SOMETHING
>>11154649
those gigant cannons on the back, I was hoping some king of "arms fort" for V
