Is there a name for this? It seems common enough to almost be a thing. It ought to be more common, it looks cool.
>A mech couldn't possibly stand with legs like that! MUH REALISM!
It looks cool.

ive always wondered this myself
lots of AoZ
Well seeing as how it flies around in a suspension field when it's not tearing shit to pieces in the void of space, having pointy feet is just fine.
I'm not sure what you're trying to argue here OP.

Jehuty and other orbital frames have landing gear to give them stable footing when they land. You can see it in game and in most model kits.

I'm not even sure why it's such an appealing aesthetic, something about the sleekness maybe.

Eh, it's /m/, so someone is going to bring it up and start bitching about it.
Gunbuster Heroman

Yeah, I always did like that little detail.
Drossel has them too. Robots with wheel are also cool.

I just don't like mechs that never stand. If it always flies then it's not a mech, it's a man-shaped helicopter. I'd rather have an unrealistic mech that walks around than a glorified helicopter.
You know, I don't think I've ever seen anyone on /m/ voice an opinion on Strain for good or for bad. I guess that's kind of damning in and of itself, but since the mechs are on topic anyway, what do people think of that show?

That looks more likeāḥGurren Lagann than Gunbuster.

It was forgettable as fuck. Well, it was kinda neat how they unceremoniously killed off characters left and right, even some that looked like they were going to matter. But in the last few episodes they kinda stop doing that and the show just becomes some boring thing.
The comedy lesbian episode was funny I guess.
>having blades for legs
Just in case you need to properly fuck up your opponent beyond recognition.

It was hilarious to see Sara going through living hell
It's like she was a character in Zeta Gundam
>>13649426
A helicopter can't kick
>>13649426
That redesign is still as amazingly hideous as always

Orbital frames are powered by metatron, vector trap pocket dimensions, super advanced AIs, pilot insanity and other assorted superscience.
Basically a godzillion generations beyond any muh walking tank real robutt mecha.
>>13651549
tankfags are cancer like always
>>13649426
dumbest thing ive seen in a while
>>13649080
One of my biggest mecha fetishes.
>>13651578
The redesign is disgusting, yeah
>>13649483
I like it. Its as ded as gunparade though or vipers creed.
>>13651913
I get a boner like its boner just seeing it YOU ABSOLUTE MADMAN!
>>13652039
Marina a cute.
>>13649427
Now that's what I call EDGY
The weird part is that Aegis also wears normal human shoes sometimes. Hm.
>>13660351
Some real prosthetics don't have fake feet at the bottom.

Nu-13 is cute. CUTE!
But yeah, she is a bit of an edgelord. And to be fair, she is a cybernetic weapon, so it makes sense.
