Oh, the avatar? It's just a funny scene from Megas XLR where they eject the fists to pop out bigger fists. Good scene. That show was always way over the top


He's thinking of blowing up the DMV since the mech got towed away due to being in a no parking zone.


Same episode where Coop pulls the S-Force out of the fire. The S-Force are basically the Power Rangers.


And a general compilation of scenes.

Also, this.


Indeed they do. Not only are the mech's moved by air travel between battles, they have clear determined roles and seem relatively easy to produce to be available in a large quantity. Most mech warrior mechs have exposed cockpits, too.

Actually, depending where you are in the ♥♥♥♥ of a canon plotline and whoever is the writer right now, mechs are either centuries-old relics that are handed down through a family, or - as you say - readily available and seemingly easy to produce in respectable quantities.

Or at least enough that House Steiner's concept of 'recon' involves airdropping two or three Lances of Atlases on the target.

Yeah. I personally prefer the MW4 perspective on the mech cheapness. You could probably afford a cheap light mech if you save your money up.

Wait a second. How much does, say, a Flea cost? Subtract the cost of the weapons from that, and we can see how much a empty mech would cost.

Wait, there are some who hold that battlemechs are centuries old relics, and yet people blow each other's mechs up in an arena for shits'n'gigs?
uh-huh.

But is it real that the Kuratas fire when the pilot smiles?
I can't recall where I read it, but I thought it was funny. Try to have Max Payne piloting that.

Caek, does that mech from your avatar have a Space Battleship Yamato in it's torso? So rad.

Scary Snowman is my hero

Yes, yes it does. And it's fully functional, too. Can't find a video though, sadly, since Megas XLR was rather under appreciated.

But it had some epic scenes.

Especially with the S-Force.

I loved Megas XLR, but it was after I found a game on the net in which you picked one of the mechs and went fighting with awesome power-ups and stuff.

THAT GAME

I REMEMBER IT TOO, ASKLAR

IT WAS THE GREATEST

The only one I remember like that was Steel Sentinels.

ROAST YOU ARE BREAKING THE MAGIC

KEB I'LL LOOK FOR THAT GAME

MEGAS VS UNIVERSE

PICK JAMIE FOR EPIC GUITAR SOLO KILL

HELL YE

Like I said, timeline and writer. It also depends a lot on the mechs themselves; newer designs can be reproduced, whilst older ones (such as the venerable Highlander or Rifleman, both dating from the ~2500s whereas the 'present' is now the late 2900s/early 3000s depending on who you ask) couldn't be rebuilt for quite a long time, as the designs/blueprints were lost.

There's also a bit of a 40K/Imperium/AdMech vibe going off sometimes, with the really really old mechs/weapons/tech being way better than what they can make at the moment or whatever.

Yeah, BTech canon is that messy, and I'd say it's as prone to starting arguments as 40K canon. I don't know nearly enough about it to give a proper overview.

I guess your best bet would be to take tabletop rules and strip all armour and weapons - though to be honest those likely come factory-installed or something, so no point pulling them off.
