Please post with your trip, Snapfit-kun.

I don't understand.

>>14633418
Wait, are you trying to tell me that Snapfit-kun doesn't like robots but buys gunpla?

>>14633499
The Victory can rotate it's head 360 degrees and can bend it's elbows all the way back to shoot behind it. I wish I had the webm of Uso exploiting it.

Who the hell is Snapfit? I'm not even a board regular.

This thread is jej and newfags
Go back to /k/ if you don't want humanoids.

If we operate using the same technology necessary to control a tank with 17 points of articulation between legs and turret, we're already going to need expert systems or MMI.

And in either case, we can radically speed up training and increase utility in edge cases by making the construction humanoid as possible.

The real mistake is size; the best effective size for a mecha is less than 5 meters, because leveraging your advantages means being able to move through notionally human-only paths and directly supporting boots on the ground.

Your tank adds incredible complexity to the vehicle in return for mediocre impassible terrain navigation and weak pop-up capability.

A "practical" humanoid mech blurs the line between infantry and armor; bringing manueverable hard targets into a city fight, integrated with soldiers.

Can your CRAB tank punch, kick, or tear things apart?

I thought so.

Also Eumenides from a later episode, as well as the unnamed construction machine.

You also have a medley of Mechanical Beasts able to do this, Crab Gunners, Walker Machines, namely Duggers, Ottriches, Galabagoses, Capricoes, Iron Gear types, Uranus from Giant Robo which floats yet keeps its body in place when using its head in a turretlike manner, etc.

You mention "eyes" here. What does this entail exactly? I mentioned Walker Machines, which often have multiple crew or capacity for multiple crew; are these machines invalidated if gunners' eyes are what is on the target as opposed to the driver's? If so that's complete BS.

The Victory Gundam is one of the only MS I can remember that's depicted doing what you've mentioned, but at the same time I would not be surprised if there are Guntank variants able to do this (namely the Guntank MP, though the original Guntank's body was fixed), Balls, though they have no legs, etc.

In fact, realistically, I think quite a few MS could do what the Victory pulled off, because in that moment Uso was not manipulating anything special to the Victory, but something that could be done because he was in a humanoid machine not limited by human physique. The real specifics of what MS can and cannot do this would have to be determined by their physiques, but at the same time, with MS alone, we have a medley of kits which are, technically speaking, able to do what you request where this is not necessarily in the suit's capabilities; see the Guntank.

I'm gonna be honest; why is this thread here? The more I think about it the more I'm confused as to why it exists. I can definitely see why people are drawing parallels to snapshit.

>>14633684
Why would it want to? It can potentially have a better gun-to-body ratio than your humanoid, so it dominates at range. Probably moves just as fast too.

Can your crab mech decide "fuck this I'm out" and take off leving the rest of its body behind?

Thought not.

Given equal technology, it might. But adding dead weight for the sole purpose of giving up isn't exactly an advantage.
The vast majority of humanoid mechs that can fly in an atmosphere aren't particularly aerodynamic and would need anti-gravity or incredibly strong thrust. No reason at all why the same technology can't be used on a quadruped with a turret.

Not that guy but I am now laffin.

I also like how you don't actually know what the Core Block system is for in Victory's era. "Giving up" is NOT its only trick.
You from around here, anon? Do you like mecha?

>Do you like mecha?
Meh, they have their niche and are certainly cool, but as >>14633656 said, the bigger they are the less humanoid they need to be, barring literally space magic. I think the middle ground should be explored more.
To be fair, the super-heavy boss mechs in Gundam tend to have more varied shapes, but still get rekt by humanoid hero mechs with a fraction the firepower.

>>14634005
Yeah, and a bunch of those super heavy boss mechs (Big Zam, Zakrello, Bigro) tend to be experimental units and one offs since they were so expensive compared to their firepower, as were defeated by humanoid mechs because they were faster and could operate better, and armor really doesn't matter in Gundam since one beam shot tends to destroy most MS and MA.

>>14634005
Most of the "final boss" mecha of the UC have been totally humanoid. As >>14634046 points out with OYW examples, all of them were generally failures in some way or another, or otherwise could not compete with Mobile Suits which were already being mass produced and generally doing their jobs well.

On the other hand I should hvae said "boss" as opposed to final boss, but yes, all "Final boss" MS of the UC have generally been humanoids.

The armor thing other anon mentioned generally gets more and more pronounced as time passes; beam technology becomes advanced to the point where it is nearly the only effective physical armor. Beam shields became prominent in F91 and Victory for this reason

If I'm frank I don't know why I've humored this thread when it's so clear it's just realfag newfag shit.

Truly the soul of the samurai does not burn in your heart, return to whatever bitter hell you crawled from you wretched pleb

>>14634079
the O is honestly barely humanoid when looking at it's silhouette, it's legs are more like extra verniers

>>14633398
can your crab do awesome stuff?
no, of course it can't
it can perform well, but it would be really boring to watch it do so.

I'm not here for performance, I'm here for the awesome!

Go back to /k/ anon.

nigga that shit can't even move in a striaght fucking line

prove me wrong

>>14633757
So...what do you do when you run out of your ammo capacity that is severely limited by the load limit of your legs?
