Why? So you can sit in the back of the battlefield and launch LRM's while I paint the target and ask for help? All my time on Mech Warrior Online is finally paying off. I'm still disappointed they don't have physical attacks. The satisfaction from utilizing IS Defiance savagery to brutally dismember those minmaxing DPS-spreadsheet munchkins with their optimized-for-current-meta Clan builds would be fucking glorious!

We'll have to settle for that new battletech kickstarter. They are going to use mwo models. |

Big robots aren't going to accomplish much on a battlefield, anything with it's head sticking up over trees and rooftops will be a piñata for anti-tank weapons. Man sized and smaller though, those are going to be mean lil bastards one day soon. Really didn't think about but you're right. I'd rather fight a platoon of 15 ft tall walking mechwarriors then to fight a hoard of 3 ft tall unmanned dog like robots |

That thing was cool and all but this would worry me more. Have a pack of these guys with 249's strapped on their backs?

MWO's constant rules changes and the whole "we're going to destroy the BT universe and everything you liked about it including the rich lore footnotes" that Catalyst did with the Jihad really left me lukewarm to modern BT, to the point that while I want to believe in the new BT kickstarter, I couldn't muster the energy to contribute. If I were any more jaded, I'd be a pillar of Kuritan society. |

You all hit the nail on the head... this is scary stuff, but luckily it still needs to be tethered to be worth a damn. That damn Elon Musk and his super battery research will be the death of us all, however. Lol' "battery". Think bigger. |

It could easily be adapted to use a Diesel engine, and probably gain efficiency if you built in a series of clutches and mechanisms to convert the direction of rotational motion. Quote HistoryQuoted:

That works a lot better than I expected it to. Still tethered to a separate power supply though. It could easily be adapted to use a Diesel engine, and probably gain efficiency if you built in a series of clutches and mechanisms to convert the direction of rotational motion. Jet turbine APU's, with jet fuel, are more compact and powerful. Plus other potential uses.

Very cool, but NOT a robot. It is a power suit. This is the definition of "Robot" and what they did is not one. ETA: The walking is "robotic", but those arm movements are not. What this really look like is a Mech from Mechwarrior . ro·bot 'ro?bät,'rob?t/Submit noun a machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, especially one programmable by a computer. synonyms:automaton, android, golem; More (especially in science fiction) a machine resembling a human being and able to replicate certain human movements and functions automatically. synonyms:automaton, android, golem; More If it has a cockpit it's not a power suit, it's a mech.
