You know one thing that has impressed me about Japanese animation and Video Games is their uncanny expression of the artistic warmachine in the form of a robo-mechs in Anime/Akira. You know, I often wonder why someone hasn't built one of these yet. You know how awesome it would be to see an army of these guys marching in file toward an enemy. I mean, I often wonder what would stop the military from creating a giant human controlled robo-mech. If you consider the amount of effort that goes into building a Stealth Fighter or an Aircraft Carrier, then it would seem that a giant anime-style mech would be a reasonable perhaps even less costly undertaking. Imagine the intimidation factor if an army was headed by a row of 100 foot high anime mechs with massive pistons driving the legs and arms, a massive-fully automatic 100mm cannon, covered with color schemed and decoratative elaborate armor. Shoulders equipped with Tomahawk missles. That would kick ass as a weapon. Heck if I was president of a country I would commission the construction of an battallion of Mechs that could trash things like tanks just by stepping on them and blow up planes with missles attatched. I'm assuming that due to the lack of effiecient mobility and obvious difficulty to prevent from being destroyed by planes Big Mechs were ruled out by the military. It's not like you can't see or hear one coming. (Rumble-Thump...Clank, Rumble-Thump...Clank) Heck, I don't see why they don't make these just for the hell of it. I swear the intimidation of a giant robot the size of a 7 Story building would be enough to make me surrender. I say someone should make decent plans for one of these things and give it to the military to have our tax dollars spent on the defense budget put to good use. I think more people would take notice of the military if they had more cool stuff like robo-mechs. I say we make a petition to have the government commission the construction of an Anime-Style Robo-Mech. I mean they make weapons of distruction right? Might as well make them have an artistic touch and look good. And that gunmetal grey and cammo just has to go. You could make the army of Mechs in different color schemes, and have the eyes glow and paint designs on the chest plates and so forth. *SIgh* Alas, no one thinks like me... |
