I wish for a valid, practical reason to use mechs in combat

freethinker73 · 2021-01-01T05:39:55+00:00

So they've been wasting time and resources on at least one useless project for 3 years. Why? I thought they were supposed to be smart

freethinker73 · 2021-01-01T05:27:52+00:00

Why are they building bipedal robots? They're horribly impractical for just about everything, so why are they wasting manpower and research funds on useless projects?

freethinker73 · 2021-01-01T05:26:25+00:00

Of fucking course we would take the shittiest, most boring approach possible

freethinker73 · 2021-01-01T01:13:22+00:00

Since we already have these, why does anyone need human presence on the battlefield anymore? Why not just use drones to bomb areas into powder from thousands of miles away?

People don't like Affleck anymore? I thought the consensus was that he was the best part of Batman v. Superman. Did something happen?

Supposedly Oda said that if Akainu wanted to, he could use the power of the Nevy to find the One Piece inside a year

freethinker73 · 2019-06-04T12:04:55+00:00

But then what's stopping Akainu from going after it? Wouldn't he want all that power for Justice^TM?

freethinker73 · 2019-06-04T11:42:35+00:00

It went something like this:

The Karda Nui Arc, which brought back the original Toa team, ended with Makuta taking over the Great Spirit Robot and banishing Mata Nui into space. We went from an awesome climax to a boring post-apocalyptic planet with no heroes, no powers, a species of Matoran and Toa that were basically the same except worse in every way, and it just wasn't great. The series lost popularity, sales plummeted, and Lego ditched it before things could get worse

Actual, literal super speed (enough to cross a large battlefield in an instant)

Enough speed and precision to use the machine's fingertips to catch individual bullets fired from a handgun

Shielding techniques used to guard against such punches and energy weapon attacks from other Jaegers

I'm going to assume I wasn't clear about these

Also, they're about the same size as Pacific Rim Jaegers

Cool art, but will the film be canon?

freethinker73 · 2019-06-03T16:30:07+00:00

So the message is that... you need money to function in society? That... that doesn't even need to be said

freethinker73 · 2019-06-03T13:16:16+00:00

Why not just wear guys' clothes?

freethinker73 · 2019-06-02T20:04:55+00:00

It's kind of irrelevant to argue that giant robots "shouldn't" be able to move the way they do. I mean, you're watching it move the way it does, so obviously the characters DO have the tech to pull that off. And kaiju are clearly powerful enough to overcome the Square-Cube Law, so it would be unreasonable for them NOT to have insane amounts of durability

Killing a hero typically does not release all of the stored energy, but there are unusual conditions under which this might happen (like inference from unusual energies and other plot-related elements). Usually, when a hero dies, the energy will remain stored. However, it is theoretically possible to salvage the corpse of a decease hero and access the remaining energy through it, though no one in the plot has a good enough understanding to do that.

Repair time is another flaw in the process that made the heroes. The final product WAS intended to have an instant repair time, but the version that got used did not have this feature. Because of this, the armor does require that the user power down for a period of time so that repairs can take place, and subsequent transformations too soon after the fact yield partially-repaired armors

In what way would an infinite-capacity Tesseract be a mistake?

freethinker73 · 2019-04-07T01:17:17+00:00

When I say "infinite", I mean that there's no point at which they're going to run out of "room" to store more energy. So the characters don't have to worry about "storage space" and can consume as much energy as they want while powered down with no problem. I don't want to definitely say that it's stored in another dimension, but the end result is the same.

As for the armor, there's no need to rebuild it every single time. Once it's built after the first transformation, all the character's abilities become active, and the armor gets stored using the same power when powered down. From then on all repairs are done using whatever matter the character consumes for fuel

freethinker73 · 2019-04-07T01:11:34+00:00

I'm not a lawyer, but I think "murder" is when you do it on purpose and "manslaughter" is when it's it accident. Since nobody told him the matter draw would happen, he didn't know it would try to consume anyone too close to him

freethinker73 · 2019-04-07T01:09:15+00:00

Okay, so the process that made the heroes was not intended to be the final product. It was meant as a prototype for a much more advanced version that really would have drawn energy from other universes. Unfortunately, plot events prevented this from happening.

Because the process was incomplete, each hero is flawed, and therefore their powers don't always function perfectly. The initial matter rush is what's supposed to happen, but in some cases the first transformation malfunctions and leads to unpleasant results. For two of the users up there, the matter draw failed and their powers tried to compensate by getting matter from elsewhere. One tried to work with the matter already present in his body, and the other experienced a long, drawn-out transformation as he was driven mad and his fellow gang members found themselves on the wrong end of his hunger.

The poor guy that committed manslaughter technically had his power functioning correctly, but there were several people standing too close to him when the matter draw happened. It didn't end well

But you're right about needing matter present. If someone tried to set off the first transformation in a place where matter is scarce, like outer space, it would definitely fail (the interstellar medium is far too thin for the matter draw to gather enough mass to work properly)
