Their Fatty is a pretty cool mech, a shame we didn't get to see nearly many variations or much of them in general, compared to the Scopedog

FUN FACT:
There's a molecular scientist called Michael Schmittel who has the same haircut as the twins of the same name.

Balarant are a bunch of faggots with gay uniforms and gayer ATs, and their PS was a retarded failure

Aside from the AT pilot suit, I really find their uniforms kind of stupid looking. But I do like the orange/blue color scheme on the fatties. Their ground AT color scheme is also pretty nice.

>>15562704
You can't. Because the show refuse to shed some light about Balarant. Votoms is Gilgamesh biased.

>>15570237
I'm going to need a source for your imagery.

>>15568521

I know, but the meme is literally the same every time, there's no variation. Yet I find it funny.

>>15563291
Boy you put it on the wrong shoulder

>>15570810
Is from a data book called "Votoms Odyssey". The first google search you do, you'll probably find the entire thing in a photobucket album.

>>15570961
I'm fundamentally disturbed I do not have a scan of that in my archives. I must unfuck this situation post-haste.

>>15563254
Could these drift on the ground by any means like the other mecha? Or did they just walk/boost?

The ones in the TV show, like that picture, are mostly used in Space so they have jet thrusters to zip around with instead of wheels.
The OVA versions are used in ground settings and have wheels built into their boot heels.

>>15572264
Jet thrusters on their feet? Or do you mean their backpacks?

>>15572277
There's a set of thrusters in the feet. To be honest that shouldn't work very well under normal gravity.

>>15572277
I think you're confusing ATs with Gundams/Mobile Suits. In VOTOMS, an AT sorta "skates" along the ground, with catterpillars. It looks sorta like a skier doing slalom. The ATs don't jump or boost with jet engines, like the Gundam. When in space, they have a Round Mover, which is sorta like a big thruster shaped like an X, that propels them forward.

Even prototype ATs rarely fly or boost jump. In VOTOMS, there's no "all-around" AT, because fights in the air are still done with helicopters and planes.

I think he's specifically asking about the Green "Space" Fatties we see in the later half of the Votoms TV show. They do not appear to have skate feet in the art I've seen.

>>15572328
Ah, I see.

They do. It's a combination of jet boots + jetpack.

>>15572676
>>15572305
Is there any art, or mention of the thrusters in specific official material? I just ask because I have a few figures of the space fatty, and the feet never seem to have indication of thrusters.

>>15573477
That's part of the problem, pretty much any possible documentation is untranslated. Most of the models and toys I've seen have a circular aperture of some kind in the arch of the foot though, leading me to assume it my be a vernier output of some kind.

They're literally the most innocent faction in /m/ shows. They have done nothing wrong.

>>15579347
That's because they didn't know what was going on and barely did any anything at all

They really seem to be stuck going along for the ride. From what I understand the whole 100 years war started over a minor territorial dispute when the Balarant Union colonized a planet that was allegedly part of the Gilgamesh Confederation. Because of that said war ensues and the only reason they have parity with the Gilgamesh is that they have a larger population. Poor space communists.

>>15577120
I still want to know what the hell a catapult launcher is, but I fear that we will never know.

>>15582110
We do know it's some kind of heavy energy weapon that does not in any way actually launch catapults. This is still disappointing.

>Space Nazis are directly involved with the main villain in several, but unofficial capacities, from starting the PS project to gibbing Jijirium for the PS.

>The worst thing the Space Communists did was have a Jawa Sandcrawler hijacked by an unstable super soldier that wanted Chirico's blood.

what did takahashi mean by this

>>15582141
no faction is morally right or wrong in VOTOMS, you just don't see much of the Balarant

>>15582162
You generally don't see much of the Balarant period.
