The Mecha Thread

So over the last year or so I've burned through at least a dozen different mecha series.

now I know I'm not the only one around here who digs giant robots and power armor around here, so I figured I'd start a thread.

So come on in, and discuss your favorite series.

Got any recommendations? Any mecha newbies need a good starting point? Then this is the thread for you.

I hate mecha.

Well that's because you have no soul.

ok now were talking my language!

well u know me by now - i lurve gundamsssssssss and mecha


recomendations if u havnt seen them yet:

macross frontier - easy watch like 25 eps? and the kits from it were pretty sweet

Blade break?

^ sure that one lol

i just saw something about it earlier on at ngeekhiong's blog


i have to get more kits done up - been slacking in that dept ...... amongst other things


as for mecha - outside of anime - i think the mecha from avatar was pretty cool and the ones from the matrix as well apc

voltron and voltesV - now those are some classics!

Over the last year or so, I've watched pretty much every Gundam series except for Turn A, Victory, 0080, and all the SD stuff.

Lately I've been getting more and more into the super robot genre. I've watched Gurren Lagann about three times now, and I appreciate it even more after seeing some of the series it borrows from, like GaoGaiGar and Shin Getter Robo. I also recently finished GunXSword.

Not a super robot show, but I'm gonna start Full Metal Panic as soon as I'm done with what I'm currently watching. I've also been meaning to check out Linebarrels of Iron, as IIRC, the mechs are very Zone of the Enders-esque, which is a good thing.

I'm not gonna get hung if I mention robotech am I?

lol nah - i like the bike suit from that series


also - along those lines - lol mechwarriors were cool concepts - and i think there is a new game out soon

Robotech can go to hell. Macross is alright, though.

You see I would love to own the original macross series but the uk....whats the best thing I can say....err yeah seems to hate People who like good anime...

So robotech is the only anime that counts as mecha in my collection

^ lol - its all good

well power suits i dont think count as mech - giant over 1 stories robit is a mech? no?

n e ways i started working my gundam kit this weekend - there is a competition in an anime convention this coming weekend. lol i know im cutting it close but i hope to enter it....ill post pics later on of some wips

HOLY FUCK, THEY MAKE SGT. FROG GUNDAMS!!! WANT WANT WANT!

^ i have the first set at home O_O 5 original set that is - i stopped following it later on -lol they feel like balls on my hand!

u didnt know???

I had no idea. I just randomly googled Sgt. Frog Gundams just to see if they existed. I just started watching Sgt. Frog.

there is a model kit competition this weekend at Anime North which i will be attending - lol mainly cus of this contest

here are some sneak peek at what im working on

this is the base model 1/60 scale (fuck yeah its huge! like 13inches)




this is what i did to it:








imma paint it pink XD - no one fucks with a pink gundam!

more pics later on with some show and tell what i did to it >.<

Eva Units own Gundam.

While an enraged-Shinji-piloted Unit one would indeed own a large number of mobile suits, there are an equal number of gundams that are just made of hax. Prime example: Turn-A Gundam.

I love Robotech and I love Macross. I love what Robotech did with combining 3 series seperate and I think the 3 series it was based on are also awesome. So I would have to say favorite mecha:
From Macross-Valkyres

Southern Cross-The Hover Tanks

Mospeada-The Bikes

Also, Vehicle force Voltron was kind of cool

BEHOLD!!!

The greatest Gundam/mecha of ALL TIME!!!!



Tequila Gundam!

Well, okay. So maybe not the greatest of all time but I think he's pretty cool. I mean how can you deny the coolness of a robot with cactus gauntlets, a metal sombrero AND a handlebar mustache?!?!

Also I liked Giant Robo. Anyone seen that?

Ah G-Gundam - You were Japan's way of showing the rest of the world just how little you know about it. That said, it's one of the most fun series I've ever watched.

Also, I'm fairly certain Gundam Maxter is the coolest Gundam ever. I mean, come on, it's a football playing, surfing, boxing cowboy.

^OHHHH CANADA

Robotech
Megazone 23
GunXSword
G Gundam
Gundam Wing
Big O
Code Geass
