Not technically a mech, but this IS Japan so I would expect a VanDread at some point (a super-mech formed by two spaceships having sex, from the bizarre anime of the same name).

Oh man, Tieren AA, I loved that thing. Sexy like A-10.
I'd've popped a picture in but they just don't seem to exist online. They're so imposing and look like they'd rip another suit to pieces in a firefight.

They should build a full size Mecha-Godzilla and Mecha-King Ghidorah and place them in an optimum geographical location, so they're squaring off against each other across a bay or valley.

Alternatively, they could build them in a fighting pose and with their long tails and King Ghidorah's long necks, they could construct the coolest bridge in the world.

Gonna rain on your anime parade and suggest a Madcat.

Or, just for shits and giggles, have them attempt to build a life-sized Imperator-class Titan.
Considering that it's JAPAN building all of these, I think that anything from Battletech and Warhammer is probably out of the question.

And also lamer.
Not necessarily. I mean, some of the Battletech mechs are ripoffs from certain Japanese animes like Macross. :p But in that case, they are more likely to recreate the originals.

Personally, I would love to see them recreate the Rick Dias from Zeta Gundam. For me, that was easily one of the best designs I have ever seen and it stood it's ground preety well against the more custom-made designs in the show:


Alternatively, they could also choose an original mecha from Super Robot Wars, considering how a lot of shows owe their renewed popularity thanks to it. Personally, I would go with the Lion. Second only to the Huckenbeim (which is a ripoff of Gundam) in terms of mass-produced models and boasts a preety unique design:


But regardless of what they end up choosing, I would perfer if they chose a Real Robot. Not just beacuse I prefer Real Robots, but also beacuse their smaller sizes make it more likely they will be built in full scale. Personally, I find it kind of lame when they have to restrict themselves to recreating the torso or even just the head, beacuse it would be too big to build otherwise.

I'm reckoning Howl's Moving Castle, actually :p



Technically, it is a robot!

I want the Lancelot, because of who they'd have to hire to build the thing.
I'd prefer the Guren S.E.I.T.E.N. Eight Elements-Type (I just looked up the full title.)but That'd be cool too!

How about... another Gundam? Exia or Ex-S for me. Or maybe Kshatriya (nice and huge), to promote the new series.


Other than that, a VF-25 Supermessiah Valkyrie would be awesome. Or Metal Gear Ray/Rex.

I think they should continue working on their Gundam until it is fully armed and operational. I'm sure it will take the focus off of a nuclear Iran and/or North Korea.

Alternative, METAL GEAR

I know. I just love everything Liberty Prime says.

And besides, why would China build Liberty Prime, he hates the Chinese!

The coolest mech ever! Mad Cat may be iconic, but its stock weaponry is unbalanced, while this is just perfect. And looks great.

The problem is Japanese will certainly stick some school-boy in it, Chinese will make cheap plastic knock-off with half firepower, Russians will remove its legs, arms and torso, installing only cockpit with weaponry on tank chassis, while Americans will will waste couple of EU budgets on R&D, build ten perfect machines and cancel project due to high cost and contract bribery.
I doubt we'll ever see combat mechs at this rate=(.

japan has a very creepy culture. question: why does everyone think japan is so awesome for doing wierd crap? there is a fine line and they tend to cross that line more often than not. awesome japaneese breakdancers - cool, awesome japanese breakdancers in pokemon costumes - cooler but far more crazy, awesome japanese breakdancers in pokemon costumes dancing to the pokemon theme song - wierd.

anyway, they need to make a 52 story R2-D2
