One thing I immediately noticed in this show is how much more powerful and imposing ATs were in this show. It's not something new, in the original Votoms a mini goal of the first couple of episodes is for Chiriko to find an AT and when he does, he completely decimates police forces and gangs attacking him at the same time. But this show is built upon the idea that, despite being nicknamed "bottoms", ATs are still incredibly dangerous, especially with capable driver inside. However by doing this, I think, it makes ATs feel more like Combat Armors from Dougram (Takahashi's other work), to the point of them even being deployed by small carrier choppers, just like Combat Armors are in Dougram.

Another anime would've had the armor go critical and have the hero run off while it dramatically explodes. Instead they go for this somber moment, with the armor standing there dead and defeated in silence. Love it.

Though I do dislike the dummy thicc amount of plot armor, that mobile suit not exploding is indeed a nice change of pace. Your comment immediately brought to mind Gundam Wing where Char snipes his sister who is sitting in a chair only for some consoles to explode like its a Star Trek bridge.
@LeftMech2 ай бұрын
@@MrDwarfpitcher I rather like that scene too. Just to clear it up, Char and the scene where he attacks the bridge of a ship with a Bazooka is from the original 1979 Gundam, not Wing. The woman he kills is not his sister, but is instead a member of the Zabi family who rule Zeon. Char kills her because she is among those he blames for his father's death- along with a few other reasons.

There's a lot to be said for the atmospheric or mood element in both Votoms and Mellowlink. The combination of more contemplative moments, the music, and well-placed pauses in the action really adds weight to key moments like this one.

Not that much. Votoms are still armored vehicles in the end, and their heavy machine gun is much more inclined for combat against vehicles or other AT’s. When infantry is the target, accuracy becomes much more of a problem. That being said, there’s still some plot armor in there.

In the Universe they're basically treated like vehicles. To my knowledge of the lore they don't have any aim assisting so you have to manually aim, even then they weren't meant to shoot at smaller infantry targets.

I know it's a TV show and the villains are supposed to be inept in comparison to the hero, but if your opponent has taken cover behind a very large hillside, do you just waste shot after shot after shot, hitting a hill side? Your bullets aren't going to go through the hill - and if you're job is to suppress him, then you'd use that time to move - if you can't move and you don't know where your opponent is, expending your limited ammunition hitting the side of a hill is useless.

These battle suits seem impractical from a design standpoint. Having a mech suit with you in it is not going to bear the same muscle reflex as say a nanosuit that conforms Your mobility is almost entirely based on thrusters. I guess that's the pride aspect of things. As a gunman, you want to show out how much versatility you can pull off in tricky situations. I just feel that you would have the same effect using remote control in a holographic simulator. That way when a pothole effectively kills your traction you're not a sitting duck That was the whole angle to this program. The protagonist becoming master of arena through clever use of traps. Then baiting their ego by feining vulnerability Obviously some athleticism was in order in addition to having nerves of steel, but that's going to come of retribution. Given enough determination, the human will cannot be crushed
@colbyboucher63912 ай бұрын
Something I've always loved about BattleTech is that it's heavily implied that literally the only thing keeping mechs at the top is that they make nobles look cool. They got all the fancy tech before anything else did because someone thought a walking tank seemed like a cool idea, and whenever someone actually challenges that momentum everyone freaks out like nobles in the 1500s freaking out about arquebuses. The only scenario where they're implied to be legitimately useful is for mercenary companies (meaning they're useful a LOT) because a mech can do a lot of "manual labor" that a fancy tank couldn't do.
