What are /m/'s thoughts about mecha where the pilot is surgically or otherwise permanently interred in some manner within the cockpit
Edgy desu

We just had that Graze Ein in Iron Blood Orphans and people seemed rather pleased by it from what I recall.
>>15653100
Truly the most patrician of mecha controls.
>>15653100EVEN IN DEATH I STILL SERVE.
>>15653100
Cheap empathy points used by hack writers.
>>15653100
More of a cyborg really. A very large cyborg.
>>15653100
Deredeo best Dreadnought.

Bad thoughts, Adeptus Astartes Dreadnoughts are basically mechanical coffins.
Imagine it;
>On the edge of death
>Some fuckers stuff your half dead high ranking corpse into some medical apparatus pod to keep you going
>They then stuff that into a clunky robot and wire it all up
>You're then put in a coma by drugs
>Next time you wake up is to go to battle
>Cycle repeats for hundreds of years
It's pretty much known that dreads eventually go a little bit loopy or forgetful, could be worse I suppose... could be an Ork or chaos dread.

their whole existence before being entombed in there was nothing but fighting anyway, so it's probably even an improvement because now they pack a meaner punch
Depends on how much of the pilots tiddies we can see when they're plugged in

Like this?

I haven't really seen it done much at all, but that's certainly not how it was used for pic related
>>15657292
Yeah, I mean, they're Astartes. This is the kind of thing they like. They're not psychologically like us regular schlubs.
>>15657728
Combat in a dreadnought is still an experience almost totally bereft of sensation, other than being trapped in a moving coffin. They relish the chance to continue the conflict, but it is not a pleasant existence, even for Astartes.
The largest battle Titans also have permanent pilots, apart from dozens of supplemental crewmen. It is considered the ultimate honor for a Titan princeps.

I can't even begin to imagine the emotions that go through a top-tier Astartes as he learns he has been grievously wounded on the battlefield, but will have their head implanted in a gigantic robot whose sole purpose is to rain fiery death upon anything and everything heretical within its range. Comfortable or no, I don't know how that shit could ever get old.
"Sorry about your legs, but you now have the honor of being death infuckingcarnate. Congratulations!"

Sounds like you're describing a cyborg. A cyborg giant.
>>15653116
Such a good episode
>>15653100
Why couldn't you just make the pilot removable when he isn't piloting?
And don't give me that "life support" shit, do you know how annoying it would be to maintain a critical life support system that's permantly worked into a giant robot?
>>15658097
Astartes from the Iron Hands chapter would probably be more jazzed about being interred than most others. Those guys like to replace their limbs for fun.
>>15660069
aren't iron hands a traitor legion?
>>15659922
That's exactly how dreadnoughts work. The "pilot" is encased in a life-supporting sarcophagus, which is loaded into the dreadnought chassis and removed after battle.
>>15663732
Iron Warriors are the traitor legion, Hands are loyalists

shit, now i have to choose between them and the white scars if i ever get back into 40k

Shame on you.
