>"We need to show the actors" mech design strikes again

I really don't understand why they don't just make cockpits and show cockpit view, kinda like they do with Iron Man

Edge of Tomorrow could've gone that route, but nope, Tom Cruise's face need some camera time

>>14765474

Patrician taste, my friend.

>>14765461

It made sense in Edge of Tomorrow, since it was frequently shown that against mimic weapons armor basically did jack shit, so a very low armored approach makes perfect sense in those situations. Any piece of metal not necessary to the jacket saves $$$, and a face plate wouldn't have saved any lives.

In the Matrix, however, there was really no excuse. We see tons of people get ripped to shreds by robot tentacles specifically because they had no protection at all. And based on the 'cutting into the ship' scene from the first movie, while armored cockpits wouldn't have been invulnerable they very easily could have bought time, sometimes crucial seconds.

>>14765485
Man, that scene where he just assblasts virtually everyone in that warms the cock(les) of my heart.

>>14765455
They should give robocop giant Hellsing pistols on the can carry.

>>14766548

Isn't that basically what hi automatic handgun is? I'm presuming the kick on that thing would be impossible for any normal person to use with any accuracy.

>>14766592
Nope, it's just a 9mm burst fire.

We have a Glock 18 which is auto fire, and of course various SMG.

I'm more a fan of the musical version, but the Fighting Machine in the film version of WotW is pretty cool too. Too bad most people just refer to it as a Tripod, not as menacing but it's whatever.

I don't get what you're trying to imply by posting Doc Ock here

>>14765453

Its also explicitly inferior in ever way to a conventional tank setup with the same guns mounted on it.

>>14767116
Of course m8, tanks and shit will always be superior but that is not what I was talking about, I'm talking about putting him in front with nothing between him and the enemy, hell the octopus robots defeat him simply by flyign straight into him, they had conept art and even used in the animatrix versions that had protective armor for the pilot

>>14767143
in some defense of the movie, didn't they say those were worker/construction mechs fitted with huge guns ASAP to fight with? still should have some protection even as a labor mech, but helps make it a little more digestible I guess.

>>14768035

What makes the AMP suit work is that they acknowledge the big-ass glass canopy as being militarily unsound; the suits are just re-purposed heavy-lifting equipment.

The first one is the best because it's just the military getting their hands on advanced tech, not knowing what the fuck to even make of it, and just sticking a shitload of conventional weapons on it.

>>14768048
Definitely the first. I love how bulky it is, compared to Stark's sleekness.

Why are western mecha designers so obsessed with greebles and exposed parts? It's always in the name of "realism" but real world fighting machines are not covered in a bajillion panel lines.

>>14771156
Star Wars gets away with it because the ships have strong silhouettes and color palettes. Even then, the greebling tends to be rather conservative or justified by the sheer size of the object in question. Trying to build panels large enough to give a big Star Destroyer a smooth hull would be extremely difficult for engineers. To that end, it's pretty much the same mount of proportional detail as real life warships.

But with other IPs you get something comparable in size to a truck and it has so many panels lines it looks like it has leprosy.

EVE was posted to prove a point, and as you can see most of this thread is focusing on live action mecha. When people hear Hollywood they tend to think live action, not American animation.

A tank would be too wide and and couldn't turn around in that underground city's halls and stuff. Still needs to be armored though.

Matrix certainly had better designs than writing. Rewatched it recently and the first movie is bloated with exposition, devices and characters acting like retards so that the movie could keep going for 2 hours.

>>14765455
Robocop 2 literally saved the movie from being utterly worthless.

The CG face needs to go though.

Oblivion is a "2 hours design show". Heard the director was primarily an architect before going into movies.
