Is Talos the oldest mecha in fictionr?
Piloted by Koji Helmetius, no doubt.
>>14030625
Talos was more a Golem-like creature rather than a mecha.
>>14030676
Golems are /m/
>>14030676
Golems are /m/agical.
>>14030676
Golems are pretty based
I own a book about all sorts of strange ancient things, but in the book there is a chapter about ancient automata, I'll dig it up tomorrow and post it.
>>14030625
Are there any modern mecha filled with boiling, molten metal? Because that would look awesome in a fight.
>>14030830
Imagine the metal spilling out like blood when the golem gets damaged.
>>14031112
Sounds like a lot of mecha I've seen, actually.
>>14031126
But with oil.
>>14031130
Yeah, but I don't see how that matters much.
>>14031133
Color and viscosity?
>>14031140
Yeah, but either way it's still a bleeding robot, which is pretty cool.
>>14031126
Isn't that mostly just Mazinger/Mazinkaiser?
>>14030625
What is his hotblooded theme song like?
>>14031149
It's lots of robots from the 60s and 70s, actually. I'd honestly say you probably see more from that time doing it than not.

I don't know about that but his battle theme is GOAT

>>14030625
Is the owl /m/ then?
>>14030743
>>14030684
If Golems can be /m/ then that means mecha doesn't just mean mechanical thus tokushit isn't /m/ just because kamen rider has cyborgs
>>14030625
>>14030629
Related.
>>14031203
>is a mechanical animal /m/
what do you think?
>>14031439
Ya goofed.
Tokushit isn't /m/ because tokushit isn't /m/
Any further justification is superfluous.
>>14031684
Yes, while also being one of the worst kinds of /m/?
>>14030676
Golems are robots in a fantasy setting
>>14030625
Stupid Nord, Talos isn't real.
>>14030625
jesus christ /m/ now i want a greek mecha anime
Is Ilmarinen's golden bride /m/?
Wait, isn't Mogera the literal first Mech?
>>14032218
I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as a Mech, is in fact, メカニカル, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Mecha. Mecha is not a genre unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning concept made manifest by the existence of vehicles, military equipment and of course, robots, comprising a full concept as defined by MAHQ.
Many posters use a modified definition of the メカニカル term every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of メカニカル which is widely used today is often called Mech, and many of its posters are not aware that it is basically the Robotech term, developed by Harmony Gold.
So unless you're discussing about Robotech or Battletech please use the term "Mecha" to refer to giant robots and lurk on the board more instead of posting as not to lower the average quality of posts, when you have seen a wide variety of Mecha anime you might feel free to discuss the subject of what you already watched and enjoyed.
And to answer your question, no.
>>14032230
I'm just saying, Mogeura was the first Japanese giant robot. Though I could be wrong.
>>14032294
And I'm just saying stop posting, you dont know siht.
>>14030676
>>14030684
>>14030743
>>14030747
I need to make a Golem deck. I love Golems.
>>14030625
No, that would be the Pyramids. The Dendara lightbulbs prove that they were giant robots.
>>14032407
PLEASE! Elaborate and we'll listen!
>>14032230
Fuck off you fat wannabe jap. By your little snowflake reasoning, we should all just be typing in fucking Kanji.
After all "Mecha" is just as much a western approximation of what is actually a Japanese word as "Mech" is.
>>14032407
they even did that pose when wielding them
>>14032456
Well, shit.
>>14032434
>doesn't recognize the pasta and as such doesn't realize the joke
Hello newfag. Also, you're on /m/, so don't pretend you aren't a wannabe jap too, you stupid weeaboo.
>>14032486
>hurf newfag
>hurf your a weeb too
Fucking kek, keep projecting
>>14032496
Whatever you say, newfag weeb.
>>14032496
You dont even know what the word "projecting" means you fucking newfag r/4chan knowyourmeme piece of shit
stick to /v/
>>14032542
Whatever you say, newfag weeb.
>>14032555
>wow mum, I sure got em
Stuff your fucking 4chan cred back in your pants, big boy.
Now let's take three guesses as to what your next mouth-breathing comment will be.
Can we just get back to talking about robits?
>>14032576
Whatever you say, newfag weeb.
>>14032578
Sure. Did you have any other interesting things in mind?
>>14032590
I'd like to hear about how pyramids are robots.
>>14032595
Based on what that one anon said, it has something to do with the Dendera Reliefs, which a ten second google search got me this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendera_light
http://www.catchpenny.org/dendera.html
http://www.ancientegyptonline.co.uk/denderahlightbulb.html
I haven't read much of it yet, but it seems fairly interesting.
>>14032595
Do giant roombas of death count?
>>14032634
Is that Castle Greyskull from a 90's cyberpunk re-imagining of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe?
>>14032640
I don't know my 40k particularly well, but I'd be willing to bet it's from that.
>>14032640
>>14032650
It's a Necron Monolith, one of their heavy vehicles.
Essentially it's a black pyramid with gauss guns that spits out Egyptian terminators armed with gauss guns.
>>14030676
>Talos was more a Golem-like creature
No he wasn't. Talos was a big artificial metal man used as a sentry.
Golems are single purpose clay things bound by a command word.
>>14032542
>"posts twice to look like two posters"
>when "samefag" would've been enough
Fuck off
>>14032661
>still responding to the newfag weeb
What's wrong with you?
>>14032370
What other Japanese Tokusatsu film by 1957 had a giant robot?
>>14032692
The Tetsujin 28-go manga came out in 1956 and the Astro Boy/Mighty Atom manga started in 1952.
Mechanical dolls were developed in the Edo period (1603 to 1868).
Looks like Mogeura was far from the earliest.
>>14030830
You should watch the latest episode of Dragonball Super.
It's right up your alley
>>14032486
>doesn't recognize the pasta
its pasta from /g/ that has nothing to do with the fucking thread.
Its just some faggot trying to be funny.
oh, before I forget
On the subject of old mecha over on desustorage's /m/ archive somebody actually used ghost mode for something useful for a change and posted this thing, saying it was from New Comics Vol 1 #10 from November, 1936
>>14030625
No.
>>14031846
Kek.
>>14033181
Was going to post this.
>>14030625
people are the oldest mecha,we were the first biological mecha and are piloted by bacteria in our bodies (similar to the macross)
Or if you subscribe to christian belief our souls pilot our body like power armour
>>14031439
>mecha doesn't just mean mechanical
that means that mecha means mechanical AND more
cyborgs are mechanical, so they are mecha under that definition too
>>14033181
>RUR
>Older than Greek Mythology
nigga what are you smoking
>>14031439
cyborgs are pretty /m/, bro.
>>14032806
Well, he was the first mech in a movie then?
>>14033348
it gave us the word "robot" in sci fi lexicon.
Just like how Tezuka is always considered Manga no Kami Sama depite the fact that "manga" existed centuries before Tezuka's birth
>>14033395
I thought that title was also given to Yokoyama and Ishinomori, or are they lesser gods, so to speak?
>>14033395
>Tezuka is always considered Manga no Kami Sama
>this is what Naoki Urasawa fags believe
>>14032456
i think we need to add it to the obari pose chart
>>14033181
I wonder if RUR is any better in Czech.
>all of Talos's blood is held is by a single pin
That feels like a design flaw
>>14035299
Oh come on, who's gonna get close enough to pull it out?
>>14030684
>>14030743
>>14031838
In that case the first mecha should be Adam or Enkidu.
>>14035903
Adam, Enkidu, andWonder Womanaren't golems, you fucking doof.
They're just humans made out of clay, like humans in tons of origin myths.
A golem is made out of clay and stays clay forever.
