Mate, have you looked down recently? Spheres aren't unconventional design for large objects at all.

Fafners are so ugly. It's good that Washio perfected the proportions with Barbatos.

I mean everyone has diffrent tastes but the Barbatos is too safe.
There aren't really any risks taken with its design.

Washio was specifically instructed to design something that couldn't be made into toys with the Fafners, the Gundams are model kits before they even exist.
This have him the freedom to do as he wished with the farmers and I think it have us some really interesting and memorable stuff.

If anything the Barbatos is just a revamped version of Washio's rejected Exia design.

>>15561292
Christ those are so fucking ugly.

>>15561460
>Washio was specifically instructed to design something that couldn't be made into toys with the Fafners

Source???

My understanding is that the Fafner RDs were produced with creative input from Fafner's creators. It strikes me as odd Fafner creators would be involved in the development of toys when they wanted the Fafners' designs not to be toys.

>>It strikes me as odd Fafner creators would be involved in the development of toys when they wanted the Fafners' designs not to be toys.

Not the first anon, but that doesn't seem like much of a reason against the existence of Side FFN.

Deliberately making designs that can't be made into toys mean little. If Xebec management wanted a deal for Fafner merch with Bandai and Bandai agreed because they could handle the materials designs and corrections to make merch out of it, there is nothing that the creative crew on Fafner could have done or said in opposition.

To add, the first Fafner RDs came out in 2010, years after the first season in 2004 and two years after the very first Robot Spirits releases in 2008. It's not surprising that whatever benchmark for "not feasible" that was in 2004 might have become obsolete by 2010.

Steel Battalion mechs always had an "industrial" vibe that appealed to me.

>>15562345
Who designed these? They remind me of ACV.

>>15562366
Junji Okubo.

There's a few other things he's done that elude my memory at the moment, but his most iconic stuff in my opinion has to be his VT design for Steel Battalion.

That said they don't really have enough of a junkyard aesthetic to fit in alongside gen-V Armored Core. I mean they do have a sort of Muscle Tracer feel to them, but Vertical Tanks are like properly manufactured military grade scarecrows with guns, as opposed to the salvaged heaps of metal powered by post-nuclear superscience that are the midget-Cores of V.

>>15562345

>>15561460

>>15562366
Junji Okubo also did designs for Gundam for the barrel

>>15562492
No idea, it was a 00 Gundam concept art image I found aged ago.

>>15561511
Washio supervised the RDs IIRC. This happened a lot more with old RDs, for example Heroman and Tauburn were like that too. They also had full access to the CGI models that were used in the movie and Exodus to design the RDs.

Contrary to popular belief you cannot feel a large breasted woman's heartbeat by palming one or both of their humongous tits. The heart lies near the center and can only be palpated either near the collar bone or by placing one's hand directly between the cleavage area.

>that one scene where the same blue haired woman did a stupidly hammy interpretive dance while grieving the folly of some supposed 100 year thing that far outlasted itself
the fuuuuck?

aside from that though, the concept seems interesting and the mecha designs are absolute sex. I'm super fucking interested and want to know more about what the hell is actually going on.

inb4 it will never have an anime. not even an ova.

>>15561528
Took me a minute to notice that there's a robot doing the Gunbuster pose inside of the bigger robot. That's fantastic.

>>15562078
Valid points, anon. Xebec=/=Fafner creators makes sense.
>>15562557
Yeah, I know. I was just asking for a source for what the other anon said about the creators wanting the Fafners not to be toys because I am skeptical.

BTW, I have a Fafner RD and it's awesome both as a design and as a toy. I really wish Bandai would involve the respective mecha designers in the development of RDs, as they did before.

The thing to study to make good mechs isn't mechanical design, it's architecture and fashion.

>>15562755
Like, a lot of gundam stuff seems downright incestuous.

>>15562759
While I somewhat agree with this you have to emember that some continuity has to be kept.
The UC,AG,AD and CE are particualrly good at this because their MS look like they were developed from other MS within that setting, so everything looks homogeneous.

She's so close to being a great, odd looking mecha design, if only the designers had taken a more minimalistic approach and didn't ruin the whole sphere torso look further with her "prime" skin

Based on the video, all the humans on that planet do not have hearts. Instead, they are kept alive by gigantic dolls that animates anything shaped like a humanoid. Ancient human colonists arrived on the planet long ago, but seeing as it is inhospitable of sustaining life, created a servile race to terraform the planet. This servile race was aware that they were just puppets, and yet they had minds of their own, as evidence of the clay hearts they made in desperation, hoping to save them when the real humans turned of the machines that are animating them. Sometime in the past, either the servile race rose up and destroyed the original humans, or a faction of these original humans betrayed the others to prevent the genocide of the sapient servile race. Either way, a faction of ancient humans are currently part of a conspiracy to hide the truth from the servile race, sabotaging their space program, and drawing blame upon themselves to hide the truth that the rest of the population are just sapient puppets.

Seeing as how hearts are considered fiction, there's probably no animal life in the world either, and they're all vegetarians.
