ZA Furries

This pic is about the same age as my dragon pic (mid 2013)
But I am just as proud of it. I was and still am a fan of the heavy gear animated series.
I know they made a game a while back, never got a chance to try it.

Well I played the first Mechwarrior and later later Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries. That was kinda fun.

Yeah, I was just about to say that I loved the Mech Warrior games as a kid. It's MW:O still alive? What about that mech shooter?

I played that silly Front Mission Evolved.

It was released at the same time as MW:O, but the name escapes me right now. I'll check it when I'm at the hotel.

I am also fond of the mech in District 9.
It's so versatile (it has a large variety of ways to eliminate your enemies).

I don't know the games, but that looks pretty awesome! I'm a huge mech fan when it comes to art... Strype does it best! Check him out!

Thanks, glad you like it.

Wow!
I prefer my animals a bit less Sci-Fi ,but can still appreciate good art.

It's called Hawken. Has anyone played it? I got a beta key back then, and never even bothered installing it.

Oh, yeah! I also played that for a while.
The weapons laked feel, descent damage, but
still seems like you're firing a pea shooter.
And the teamwork reliance is very heavy.

Was fun to kill time, wouldn't replace other FPS's.

you furs will love mecha-based/gundam type anime

Not a fan of Gundam, but that's probably because I don't like the massively over the top way that the Japs often do things. My siblings tried to get me into Attack on Titan, and I just ended up hating it.

Megas XLR is where my mech anime starts and ends thank you.
Did watch Medabots, but the ending was so random.
Where as the others I tried were; what the fudge? from the word go.
Been avoiding ever since.

I used to love that show as a kid! I just started watching it again 2 days ago...
Medabots! (I find it a little annoying how they meta everything...)

I agree Medabots was a little annoying, but I loved how much attitude they could fit in those 3 foot frames.

No, I love the show! I just find it annoying how its meda everything... Medaforce, medatastic, medaparts...

You definitively wouldn't be wandering what show you're watching within a 2 minute interval.

Brilliant! So true!!
Neither does anyone walking in...
"what show are you watc-"
~Laptop goes~ "Medatastic!"
"-hing... Nevermind...."

Hey guys just moving this thread here since it's more topical as a discussion at present.

Megas XLR? I still remember that theme song by heart.

I absolutely loved that show! Wow.... haven't heard that name in over 6 years. The memories are flooding back to me now.

I am so downloading all of it later.

glad to see you all enjoying this , how about some older Anime like the ones I watched when the sci-fi channel was still on dstv (15 years ago).

one is Blue Gender with a lot of drama though . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Gender

and also BubbleGum Crisis for something more sinister in nature lolz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubblegum_Crisis

I dig giant robots....

Here's a thought experiment; What would be a key feature/signature trait of your mech? (don't be boring)

Mine would be to stream the most annoying & obnoxious audio and video to the enemy (think Rigroll, nyan cat and What does the Fox say?). They can not trun it off so they would have to retreat out of range or fight in an impaired state.

The ability to generate decoys while simultaneously being able to actively camouflage itself (i.e. cloaking). Think of how useful that would be.

Sneaky sneaky, They'll never know what hit them.
Tho some could argue it's a bit cowardly. But why stick your neck out if you don't have to?

Well... I've always been fascinated by telekinesis...
My character can put up a telekinetic shield for a short period of time...
(Don't want to be OP)

@Cape_Fox.
Lol! Spamming the enemy! I like it!

An other option can be to invert their controls, that would make them feel really stupid.

weather control . if you cant fight in bad weather then its perfect weather for me to fight in then lolz.

That is very creative! I can definitively see how fog, heavy rain or a sand storm can impair visibly. Giving you the upper hand.
And if that's not enough call in the lightning strikes.
