Simple, answer the question. Are you a man or do you enjoy Gundam_

Walkers are damn sexy. Tanks on legs man, tanks on legs.

I personally hate the Gundam Style humanoid mechs. Giant humanoid mechs are fine so long as they remain slow and heavy. That means none of that martial arts bullcrap you see in those weeaboo robot cartoons. Nimbleness is not a quality mechs should have. Fast, sure, mobile, sure, nimble, no.

Battle armors are fine, so long as they stay small enough to feel like armor and not weeb robots.

I've always been a big Gundam fan.

The only thing I disliked most of the time were the choices of color.

I love all mechs. They are all beautiful, in every single way. Words can't bring them down. Oh no.

I'm not gonna lie, a mech game with talking furniture would be pretty cool, if not funny.

My taste for Mechs are the Hawken mech style. This game nailed it in every way. I detest the Gundam universe and the Evangelon style. My type of mech are "Robotic" realistic, complex in terms of detail, they should look old and a bit rotten, these machine should be articulated and mechanically possible.

A good mech suit armor happened in Gears of War III. That's a mech power armor. The art on Hawken is more plausible than the large slow mechs in Mech warriors. Robotics need to be done right. If not the sense of it starts to be a caricature and silly.

Ben's Procter designs are great. I know.

But Matrix sucked ass hard. I detested that stupid movie so much. Anyway Ben Procter worked with lots of things on many movies. However his art must find a great game to land all his ideas.

For example the mech power armor continued appearing in stupid movies like Avatard and many other weak rehearsals like Transformers dull trilogy. The guy's talent should be put on something really worthy or on a good production for a game or a movie with a true good script.

This. I was shocked and appalled when the second came out.

I honestly would have preferred not knowing what happens next. Some stories are just supposed to end like that.

A horse-style mech would be suitable to my needs.

MMMMmmmeeeecccchhhsss..... love. If you want an example of a fast mech that worked well and wasn't to nimble, look at Armored Core, or Phantom Crash, or Steel Lancer Arena International. Fast mechs, but they're weight and fulcrum problems prevented them from doing fine movements very easily on larger mechs, but smaller more compact mechs could easily move around.

Some SLAI gameplay(this dude is decent, but hey whatever.)

Fanboys beware: From now on if you start doing it I will ignore the post. Fanboyism ruins conversations the same way religion, science, and politics due. We're here to fawn over hawken, not other things.

All mechs are good in every way. I tend to like the Gundam-style ones for design and all, but "real" mechs like the units in Mechwarrior are awesome too.

I'll take almost any mech you can give me! I love the lumbering bird-legged walkers, the space bound super-mechs, the small powered armors, the agile kung-fu-fighting ancient relics, the hyper-advanced nigh-magical acts of God...

I honestly get the feeling that the people that voted for the MechWarrior Elementals don't know what they are.

Elementals are the tiny battle armors.
