is this the proper way to robo suit /m/?
:^)
>>15730690
not really
you should use the big suit to pilot a bigger suit
It's amazing how such a simple, good concept can be fucked up so badly purely by its design.
>>15730981
Yeah. They say there is a force-field protecting the pilot.
Truth be told, I'd rather if it at least had some kind of armored plating all over the front...and a Imperial Knight-like head just in case a paranoid Inquisitor hired "Ork Snipers" to headshot the pilot.
Have you ever thought that a robot was unnecessary?
>>15730656
No, I respect the robot
>>15730656
They are pretty useless on earth, just big slowly walking targets. In space however, they are fast and small targets (compared to spaceships) and pretty deadly.

HELLO /m/ CITY!
The heat might be unbearable but it's time for some fun in the sun as we begin the Summer Cup! High above earth /m/ prepares to begin its cup Campaign against /sci/! The 2 have met before with /sci/ taking the win back in Autumn 2014 but with the team reinvigorated having escaped Winter they look forward to making waves! Will /m/ defy all Logic or will /sci/ continue to tell us why giant robots wouldn't work?
Find Out Tonight! Today!
>our first match is against my second favorite team
this cup is nothing but suffering
I'm exited to see this group, but that's a shame we must face /tg/.
I hope that we will do better than last time, PES 17 seem not suited for aggressive playstyle.
>>15730428
We had the misfortune of being put in a group with very likable and cool teams.
Ever since i watched ZZ (loved it) and saw Moon Moon, i have been confused in regards to resources in the universal century. Let me clarify that by resources i mean the three following things: Manpower, Money and Natural Materials. I wont go into depth about why moon moon doesn't make sence, but ill ask you (the reader) this: on a futuristic space colony, with no natural materials to dig up from the ground, how did the soldiers of moon moon get helmets? and this made me think, where did zeon before the development of the zaku get the metals, enginers, materials for the enginers to work with, and so on, to make all of the zeon ships, and weapons so they could get somewhere, and develope the first mobile suits, so they could go to earth, They made mines on earth, so that they could produce moar mobile suits and ships, but where did they get the resources for the initial ships and mobile suits. Speaking of mines, wouldn't the earth be almost empty of materials from making all of the space colonies, i mean, imagine how much steel, and other natural materials would be used on just ONE colony, think about it. Now imagine, how much there is left after the federation uses the earths natural resources to create: all of the colonies, its spaceship armada, the moon colony, and a bunch of other stuff, there would be almost next to nothing left on the earth. And besides, how much did it cost the federation to build all of the space colonies, getting the resources from earth into space, having enough workers to build the colonies and paying all of those workers. Knowing this, one would think that the federation would be bankrupt when the colonies would be finished, and the earth would have been in big trouble. I have a lot more stuff like this, in regards to Neo Zeon, Zeon and Anaheim Electronics. But i think all of you get the point. My question is, if this is explained in some obscure light novel from 30 years ago, but im gonna complain about it anyhow.
Quick correction:What i meant to say at the end was: My question is, if this is explained somewhere, please do tell me where, and what the explanation is.
I believe they used Moon and asteroid belts mines.
There is no other answer I think.
Humans mined the asteroids for the resources for the colonies after the first space stations. the Earth Federation didnt need to further strip the earth of resources because the spacenoids sent the resources their way. Most of the Feddies spacecraft were built in space thanks to the Spacenoids.
Has Bandai ever done or might make a what if story or t.v. show, on how the UC would have turned out if zeon had won the war?
Pic unrelated, have some legs.
>>15730177
Gundam X
>>15730177
Wouldnt work. Zeon was too unstable. 'Zeon won the war' would looks indistinguishable from 'literally everyone is fucking dead'.
Zeon loves crashing the only way to live in space into the only other place to live too much.
>>15730177
They have Gihren's Greed with storylines for which faction of Zeon wins the OYW, none of them good for the Earth sphere because Zeeks are a self destructive bunch.
I finished the OVA's yesterday, and i thought it was awesome, though i have a hard time understanding how the Neo Zeong can teleport in time. Can somebody explain?
>>15730037
The animation was good and had some decent designs, but it was shit overall with some really annoying characters and awful story.
Newtype magic, don't bother trying to figure it out.
Either way, it's just another Feddie Wank series.
>>15730039
yeah, i can understand that, the story was probably the worst part about it, its so forced
Hey /m/,
Can anyone ID the little red-and-white figure from this 1995 Power Rangers micro playset toy?
All the monsters from these mini-sets were 'real' monsters who were either on the show or in the source Sentai so logically this guy should be from either Dairanger or Kakuranger, but I'm having no luck figuring out who he is.
Here's a blown up version of the same pic.
>>15729908
Possible.

>>15729907
Huh. I remember the little figures being smaller compared to the rest of the box.

Tomorrow morning, you awaken to find yourself in a O'neill Cylinder, located in the Vega system. You are the only sentient being on board, other than the limited A.I drones, who keep the colony in tip top shape and all systems green.
What do?
And yes there is a giant robot in the hanger on the far side of the colony.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0NMse0INhi6
Paint the drones in different colours then give them names.
>>15727836
Escape and become a space miner
>>15727836
there's not enough benches in the colony
I WANNA SIT MORE
Thinking of going to MechaCon in New Orleans tomorrow
Any of you guys going?
self bump
Anybody go? I might have gone if it wasn't $50 and almost a 3 hour drive.
>>15732177
I did go today. It was okay, not worth 40 bucks at the door. Very few /m/ stuff, but a lot more cosplayer than I expected.
Probably gonna go just on Sunday next year, if I go at all
I always find it funny when people compare 0079 Gundam to Star Wars saying it's a rip-off. In some ways it's clear that it is inspired by it but saying its a rip off is a stretch "muh new-type is a Jedi". But what is just as evident is Zetas connection to Force Awakens.
Both stories star with a young person In outer space who are picked up by a character from the previous franchise (Char and Han) they both discover that they have psychic abilities (new-type Jedi) and eventually become caught up in a war that is very similar to the war our previous heroes fought in many years ago (Zeon Titans and Empire First Order) but the main character from the last series is hiding out somewhere not interacting in this new conflict. The previous crew are idolized by the new MC (White Base millennium falcon). Just a few
Not trying to say its a stolen plot but from the first portion of Zeta and the first movie in the new trilogy there are similarities
Thoughts? these are two franchises I love so any discussion on the two and they're similarities are welcome
>>15727585
Well it always bothers me when people call Gundam the "star trek" of Japan just because I always thought that Gundam was more comparable to Star Wars while if your going to compare anything to Star Trek it's ultraman. The whole young protagonist thing is really just a story trope that make it easier to develop a character and teach the themes to the viewer. But there are some things that stick out, both have an iconic villain that has so many clones in other media, both have a huge expanded universe with canon debate, one thing they do have a lot in common is the force and newtype thing. A very mystical element in a science fiction setting.
>>15727616
the Trek parallels are in the idea that it floundered in its initial run but subsequent reruns and movies cemented it as a staple
>>15727585
Something about Star Wars being almost exactly the archetypal hero's journey and so it naturally sharing similarities with pretty much everything that follows the same outline
The similarities are fairly superficial anyway. Jedi are the super secret club for wizards in tune with nature/the universe, Newtypes are a higher form of life altogether in tune with other similarly evolved people, even if both have some supernatural powers. Char and Vader both have masks and are somewhat disloyal to their empires, but Vader's disloyalty only comes up at the end, whereas Char was scheming against the Zabis from day one. Degwin and the Emepror are both wrinkly fuckers, but completely the opposite personality-wise, Degwin is introspective and ultimately chooses morality over victory, the Emperor is a personification of dark forces. The Empire ARE evil, the Rebels ARE good, whereas with Gundam Zeon and the Feddies are a mixed bag of incompetence, malice, heroism and honesty. Leia is actual space monarchy and everyone knows it, Sayla is more the 'Anastasia in hiding' type of princess.
I'm sure there are other similarities, but those are all the ones I can remember seeing brought up off the top of my head.
