What's your favorite face type for a mech?
The masked two eyed ones like most Gundams, Optimus Prime etc
The unmasked ones with nose and mouth.
The monoeyed ones. The visored ones.
etc etc
>>11177684
any face besides the main gundam one. I like the visors more and some robots look good with mouth.
I love visors with really thin slits. They always look really menacing.
Dougram-style >>>>>> visors and monoeyes > Gundam faces > dogshit > anything with a fucking mouth
Really big fan of the Arbalest (and it's head)
Humanoid face, either with mask or without one.
Visor and mask, all the way.
Monoeye or visors.
Visor faces and humanoid faces.
Eyes. But even better is eyes behind visor. >>11177949 and its Banpregoggles was cool, but the ones where the eyes only appear when they glow is great. 00 got kinda funny about that with the Flag/Brave line, they do that effect basically for kicks given the visor isn't even where the camera is.
I like periscopes and cameras
2 eyes for good guys (green or blue).
Monoeye for bad guys (yellow or red).
I hate mouths on robots, especially when they function like human mouths instead of just remaining static & just a cosmetic detail.
Vents I don't mind, but I prefer without them.
>>11177684
Depends on the robot.
If it's a sentient being (Transformers and the like) faces are totally fine, a-okay.
If it's simply a machine that's piloted, I don't want faces at all. I like visors, cameras, all that jazz. The closest thing I like to a face on my machines is the Gundam face, but only for high-end/custom machines.

>What's your favorite face type for a mech?
You just posted it.
Visorface is best face.
>>11177966
>>11178347
Is there any line art source for those eyes on the Gespenst? I haven't seen them anywhere else.
no face, just a huge eye/camera, not exactly monoeyes
visors like the Jegan
large/full masks like the Flag
large mono eyes on simple heads like the Dom
GM Visor > Zaku Monoeye >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Gunam Human face
Why no love for Gundam face?
>>11178503
Dumb and not tacticool enough.
>>11178503
Hipster shit
Humanoid faces and mono-eyes are the best.
>>11178503
Because it looks like shit.
>>11177684
I love everything except mouth faces.
If I love the show enough I can get past it, for example Big O and Gurren.
But anything with a mouth or nose is bound to be less loved for me, I enjoy Getter Robo 1, Gigantor, and Mazinger, but feel subpar about Giant Robo or sentai robots with the mouths.
I don't know, maybe I'm just weird. The greatest sin for me is stuff like Bayformers Prime's mouth, hate that look.
>>11178390
That could be unique to the PTX-001
>visors
I like that shit.

No facial features at all, simply visors, whether they be like the Flag (which has the eyes at the top but whatever) or GM-style, they're the best.
That or camera-heads, like the Dillfam, VF-1A, and Scopedog, for different styles.
Harute and Red 5's.
Two eyes into four eyes gives me a hard-on.
I would have to say visor is my favorite.
I also like no face if it's done right.
Common face types, from best to worst:
Slit visors (Unicorn, M9)
Static humanoid face (Big O, Grungust)
Large monoeye that takes up the entire face (Crimson Typhoon, VF-11)
Standard visor (Ingram, GM) - bonus points for eye(s) behind it
Eyes, but otherwise non-humanoid (Arbalest, Shin Getter)
Gundam face without vents (Exia, Huckebein)
Moving, expressive humanoid face (Braves, Lagann)
Gundam face with vents
Standard monoeye (Zaku)
Slit visor
>>11177684
>having a face
Absolutely disgusting.
I like quite elaborate ones.
>>11177737
arent the eyes above that visor looking thing?
>>11178751
>having glass panels for viewing outside the mech
absolutely retarded
no love for cartoony eyes
>>11178851
>MUH REALISTIC GIANT BIPEDAL ROBOTS
It's all nonsense when it comes to mecha, anon. The sooner you accept it and cure yourself of autism, the happier you'll be.
>>11178877
For some reason gundams look better to me in sd form. The face of Banshee destroy works better in sd form for me.
>>11178932
My nigga.
I've always been partial to this face
modafookin eyes with visor
Slit Visor
2 eyes
Spider face
Mono eye
There's just something about that TV head.
>>11178053
>>11179082
You'd like Hawken then.
>>11177684
Visors that imply or explicitly have two eyes behind them. (See also PTX-001)
not too sure. i like mouthless designs, for the most part, and visors. but it has to fit the body, which is why i like the types of heads that are on top of transformers and brave series robots, for the most part. but if i could have any kind of robot head, it'd be a gm head. i like the visor/monoeye design of it alot.
>>11179057
dont they have gundam heads under their faceplate
I'mma rape you face.
>>11179284
Most of the Innovade/QBW customs did, but aside from the more overt V-fin used by the GN-XIV, no.
>>11179284
The GNX didn't, but the aheads and that mobile armor MS thing did.
One of the few things I liked in AGE.

>>11179152
this, i kinda grew tired of mechs with heads. as there's really no reason for mechs to have highly aesthetically decorated head for their purposes. cameras and sensors and what not, will work even if they're not fitted in some overly elaborated art piece. a simple dome would do
Mono eyed monsters.
>>11177684
Human like face, deeper in uncanny valley the better. Something that'll at least creep the enemy out.
What about double-visors
Cold, unfeeling, and entirely optimized to acquire and fuck up targets.
>>11180936
Why is there a flash suppressor in it's forehead with empty space behind it?
>>11178800
Oh yeah, that's right. For some reason, they never quite register as eyes to me as the visor does.
Maybe it's like how most Virtuaroids have two visors?
Anyway, you got me. I guess this'd be a better example then.
one eyed like many Armored coresor visor type
also I like the triangular heads
>>11181498
Personally, I'm more fond of the compound eyes found on the Aaliyah and White Glint.
Triangular is love.
>>11178800
The entire thing (beak, visor and mouthplate) is just a mask. Real face is below that. You can see the silhouette of the proper eyes behind the visor.
I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to mecha faces, but I hate noses and mouths on mecha. If it has a face like a person, there better be a goddamn reason.
Like, Eva Units get a pass on mouths because they are actually organic. But other than that, the only time I can think of that a mech had a human face and I didn't hate it was the Big O, and that was mainly because it fit the batman gothic style of the atmosphere of the show.
The eyes...
Masked/unmasked faces are okay.
Monoeyes are pretty cool. The Du-gong sound when it activates helps.
Visors are dumb, especially the giant ugly ones they slap on GMs, Jegans, ReZels and the like.
>>11182181
Seconding all of this. It's like you're me.
