Macross idea of mechs is alot closer to realism. So, keep wishing. That means the best we'll get is transformable jet, and I dobt it'll be looking anything beyond huge mechanical chicken.
The biggest problem with mechs isn't their feasibility, but the fact that they have a huge profile, which just yells ‘shoot me!’ at the enemy artillery. In a mech you're a sitting duck.
That's what all the heavy armor plating that covers the mech is for. The enemy gets demoralized hitting this big, metallic, mobile weapons platform that won't stop comming at them because their ammunition smacks up against all that plating to little or no effect.
i mean yea being inside it would be cool and all, but would you really be inside of it if push came to shove? or would you be nearby in a remote control room?
Why Pilot an 18m tall piece of scrap when you can wear a multi billion dollar armour that can let you enter the atmosphere anytime u want and land safely then kick covenant ass hell MS cant do that unless the pilot is a skinny emo who somehow joined a military forces when he is barely out of puberty.
I would honestly buy that for $70. Thats just awesome.
Something like this is art it should be worth at least $200.
True, a lot of effort must have been put into that.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Even $70 is too small for masterpiece like this.
Pretty crafty if you ask me!
I would like to see it colored in.
Only steps until a Gundam is actually fighting.
One day it will sure happen.

Pin-Point Barrier technology anyone?

One day.... we will all be in mecha fighting
and they will all be made of cardboard paper or maybe we will all fight in danbos
Japan will have Gundam. China will have cheap knock-offs.
America will have Metal Gear.
Metal Gear vs Gundam? it wouldn't ever be a fight.
That is kinda sad.
One day there will be a war so huge everyone will be fighting it in their own mech.
Can whichever's economy hosting these mechs support their mass production?
i'd join the army if i could pilot a gundam
I agree becoming a gundam pilot is the ONLY way i'd EVER join the military
you would just be another mobile pilot taken out by a gundam
THIS IS NO ZAKU BOY! NO ZAKU!!
remember u must be like 15-18 to pilot one.
Keep in mind that not all mobile suits are Gundams. Unless you are special, it's likely you'd be piloting a mass production type machine. :'(
Killed while entering the gundam... that would suck.
Shit I'm one year too old, now I'll have to be the guy with dark past who the main hero wants to be friends with.
idc least i get to pilot one
If you are too old, just wear a funky helmet/mask combo and demand that your suit (and everything else) be painted red...
Shot down before you could enter it.
Damn! Too old. I need to dye my hair blonde and find one of those white masks >.>
Gundam 8th MS team, GM at the end of the series with the MASSIVE beam rifle... That my merry friends is my mech of choice for mass production models.
not likely, but mobile armor does...
Hey, with luck, you can turn your mook into an Ace custom or get promoted to Gundam. XD
Does Zakus have an age limit?
here is a question.
would you even enter a gundam?
i mean yea being inside it would be cool and all, but would you really be inside of it if push came to shove? or would you be nearby in a remote control room?
pshh, even if i'm the right age, who cares? I'd just pilot a customized ms with vulcan guns lined across the body.
I want to be one of the badass veteran guys like that Andrew Bartfeldt guy.
I am ok with that as well.
*not for battles involving water or fire
Screw that. I would just use a hydrogen bomb to blow the entire battlefield to bits (1 is enough to cover japan fully)
downrating that comment was pathetic
I, However would be the 'main character' and be piloting an actual Gundam. you guys would likely be what I would use as 'meat shields'.

You can only pilot a Gundam if you're a teenager.
It's written in the manual.
Not just any teenager. You need to be emo too.
maybe i should one myself? i feel inspired to do so ^_^
Keep 'em comin', The creator should make more.
Oh...
Bad for China "Gumdan" pilots...lol
Gundam is a fail warmachine that will not work in real world .
Gundams shall exist in the future!
And shall be as cool as we think they will..XD
