Exam Screw-Up Implies Giant Robots Took Part in the Russian Revolution

[Rinshan Kaihou]

Assuming the industry is still on the "7 Out Of 10 Is Average" scoreboard, I never understood why the Sonic Rider titles were generally disliked. Granted, the games weren't anything special and Sonic Free Riders was apparently one of the worse games of 2010 by a lot of people, but the other two titles (Riders and Zero Gravity) were alright racers which kept the developed concepts of Sonic, even if those concepts included the introduction of more stupid characters and the over-emphasis on "Coolness".

EDIT: GOD DAMN IT I MIXED UP BROWSER TABS!!!

As for my opinion; I now want a WWII game with mechs. GIMME, JAPAN!!!

I dunno about game, but you have strike witches anime. Close enough ymmv.

Honestly, I found Strike Witches not worth sitting through due to the hours of boring talky-talk that must be trudged through in order to get to the few minutes of action.

Also, moe tits! I TOTALLY want to be associated with potentially-illegal pieces of "Entertainment"! (PS: No, I don't.)

psh,

Psh strike witches isn't illegal. In fact, the Japanese cultural ministry has endorsed Strike Witches an example of cultural significance or excellence or something like that.
(Yes, really. I know, I was shocked too. I like flying loli's too, but I don't understand that)

That large machine in the background looks suspiciously like an Imperial Titan!

Sorry it really is a Marauder (or a derivative) from Battletech.

Why didn't I have cool failing teachers but only failing ones? ... This would've been awesome! =D

Captcha: multi pass - Indeed, this would've made more people graduate with me... probably.

This would make a great Dr Who plot.

Think about it: Companion convinces the Doctor to show them St Petersburg, he messes up the timing and arrives during the storming of the winterpalace. With Mechs.

That's gonna be the next not-yet-written Cybermen episode.

 

[DugMachine]

Wait. You mean to tell me that's not how it happened?

 

[Tiger Sora]

Best alternat history ever. It don't get much better than this kids.

Spoiler: Well thank god the Ruskies had those mechs back than and were able to develope better ones to fight the Jerries Spider Mechs in WW2.

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

Wait. You mean to tell me that's not how it happened?

Of course it wasn't. The anti-Tsarist forces could only field light and medium mechs.

 

[TIMESWORDSMAN]

This needs to be a video game. I don't care who makes it or how, but it needs to be.

It could be an online game set in alternate history Russia. Red vs White in the early twentieth century just after WW1! That gave me ideas for three game modes already! I gotta start writing!

So, I did this exam yesterday, and no-one in my class noticed this at all. Not even the teacher noticed. Also, nice going VCAA. Nicely done.

I thought it was a Warhammer 40,000 pic when I first saw it. Commissars...

 

[SonofaJohannes]

Man, I would have aced that test...
I agree with the rest of you guys, I want this to be a game. Hell, mechs or not, we seriously need more games about the Russian Revolution.

 

[FalloutJack]

Zat's right. There were no mechs in ze war. Nor did ze Germans have any crazed vampires running about und creating as much havoc as possible. Absolutely! I'm glad we were able to clear zis up.​

OT: That's crazy anyhow. Everyone knows Japan used the first giant robot and that we used our first nuclear strike to put it down.

[Starke]

The spokesman didn't confirm or deny whether future exams would explore the role of the T-800 in the assassination of Leon Trotsky and Joseph Stalin's rise to power

Now that's just crazy talk, Grey. Trotsky wasn't assassinated until decades after Stalin rose to power.

I thought it was a Warhammer 40,000 pic when I first saw it. Commissars...

That's because a lot of 40k's art deliberately homages historical art.

Does YOUR history have anachronistic Communist mecha?
Victoria 1, NSW 0.

No, no and no, guys that is common misconception- there were no mechs in Russian empire
That picture was totally fake- Nikolai Kochergin was nowhere near that battle
Also he wasn't exactly expert on military gear, so yeah, he mostly made stuff up

Most russian historians have agreed that suits russian soldiers used had more common with power armor than with mechs
Although in defense of few nutcases who support "mech theory", those suits were in between power armor and mechs
See things is that those suits weren't big enough to be categorized as mechs, also they had no cockpit
On the other hand these suits were too big for proper power armor
But like I said most historians agree that these suits should be categorized as power armor (place for one man only, they were mostly worn, with minor piloting, etc.)
They pretty much resembled Wolverine units from C&C:TS

Later when soviets took over they stopped power armor development in favor of jet tanks

And your welcome



Also- Leon Trotsky was assassinated by T-800?
Really? Where do you got that insane theory?
Does american education system is so degraded that people don't know even obvious historical facts?
For the last time- Leonid Trotsky was deadly injured in 21 August 1940 in Mexico by an ice-axe wielding T-850, NOT T-800
Dammit I'm sick of correcting this mistake.

Yep, same design. Back in the day FASA acquired rights to use the designs, but there were question as to whether the company they bought them from had the rights in the first place. This put Harmony Gold and FASA into a bunch of legal disputes and a bunch of mechs are now known as "unseen" in BattleTech circles. Unseen because you're allowed to call them by name, use the stats and what not, but you just can't show the actual design.
