A month ago, The Empire of Urda came out with the UE Tiger shark. The Tiger Shark is welded together so tight, It has 4 extra back boosters, and It has extra Oxygen tanks, becuase It was made with the ability to stay underwater for 30 Minutes.

Wait, you're using conventional infantry weapons with a mech? That's like putting a slingshot on a tank.

Also, having a gas-powered mech is asking for trouble. And I'd like to know how the limbs are manipulated.

Oh, and that's a mecha, not a mech. There's a large difference.

Mecha is the anime-inspired giant robots. Or to put it more blatantly, the godmodded mechs. The ones that can perform acrobatics, or can support massive weapons on a light body, etc.

Mechs are the more reasonable of the two. They actually obey the laws of physics.

That's where this conversation ends. If we get another mech argument going, heads will roll. It's happened before.

Ehhhh??? Mechas dont godmode as far as I see. Mine are mechas, but right now they are not armor slaves (when the person moves the mech does) they are controlled by controls (but in a few years an armor slave might come out, or the original mechas might be upgraded)

Tech taken from anime will most likley be godmodding. Especially from Robotech or gundam.

(OOC:I think gundum sucks personally)

No they are based off mechs from Full Metal Panic, which has pretty real life things.
