Now that one I would have to see regardless of what I would have to do to get to it.ForgottenPr0digy said:
Oh great, that's a perfect idea.
When it comes to life and destroys all the world, don't come crying to me!
Don't say I didn't warn you!

Why not a Warhammer or Timber Wolf (aka "Mad Cat" to you inner sphere barbarians)?
You know that model costs more than some cars, right?Baron Khaine said:Japan gotta have the Tau dude.Gildan Bladeborn said:This story would be so much cooler if the mech in question was an Imperator Titan.
Just saying.
Unfortunately, they don't build giant robot's (finger's crossed for yet), here's the closest thing, a lifesize version of this floating above a city would be awesome.
Sorry, my not-very-inner Fanboy demanded I defend the universe that goes so over the top it can lazily spit down onto your envious judgement.
You mean a Tomahawk Destroid, right?Singularly Datarific said:This.CantFaketheFunk said:I think Titans just look silly, myself. And the Atlas isn't even one of the good-looking Battletech designs

And the model will fall to bits under it's own weight, even in resin. Bloody pointy eared gitz.Ultrajoe said:

This is an Eldar Wraithlord, and you need to see one in motion to understand just how much prissy japanese metal ass it kicks. It makes those flying go-go dancers look like limbless sloths, all while being badass enough to go toe to toe with the shamelessly ponderous gun-emplacements that make up the rest of 40K's robotic warfare.

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear your slow ass over the sound of my quantum solar furnaces. You'll have to be faster to keep up next time.
Seriously, dude, you don't want to get into a "giant robot badass-off" with the Japanese. Even your precious 40k doesn't stand a chance
Could do with a scale, but by the looks of its 'shield'...is that an aircraft carrier on its arm?GloatingSwine said:
While we're on the topic of Giant War Engines of Doom...
One of those little spiky bits at the very bottom? It's a bit larger than your run of the mill mecha.
And if anyone gets too close it emits a radiating blast of poisonous particles which corrode metal and kill people faster than most radiation.
Yes. In robot mode it's 300m long. (It also transforms, because transforming immediately increases the awesomeness of a giant robot by a factor of ten)Amnestic said:
It's actually a tiddler as well, the standard Macross class vessels are four times the size (but not as nippy).
It's a Macross. Meaning that it's a giant space transport.Amnestic said:Could do with a scale, but by the looks of its 'shield'...is that an aircraft carrier on its arm?GloatingSwine said:

That happens to have a giant robot mode.
Anyway, to put to rest the argument, the supremacy of Japanese giant robot designs is forever assured by Diaclone no. 17 Battle Convoy.
Otherwise known as Optimus Prime.
(Designed, as with the rest of the Diaclone Car Robots range, which became the lion's share of the G1 Autobots, by Shoji Kawamori and Kazutaka Miyatake, who went on to create Macross)

I wouldn't worry too much until we see an underground hangar large enough for white base.Kalezian said:
OT: Finding the gundam and thinking it was some kind of archaic god isn't that much of a stretch, given the huge, obsessive following Gundam has, and even though some later updates to the metaseries have outdone the original in terms of popularity at least, you gotta respect the original for starting it all. I guess that makes The original Gundam like Zeus or Odin.
Yeah, It is that, as well. I don't really care which universe it is from; it looks friggin awesome.GloatingSwine said:You mean a Tomahawk Destroid, right?Singularly Datarific said:This.CantFaketheFunk said:I think Titans just look silly, myself.
