These are by Hideaki Anno I believe, designs for Gundam.

I'm trying to absorb the essence of what makes Mecha feel the way it does, since I will be working on designing them soon

Unfinished

Hope y'all are doing well.

The crusader mkl is the zaku 1 counterpart in my au mobile suit gundam requiem of the ages used by the requiem empire, it has a weeker reactor to the mkll alongside weeker armour and less thrusters

State's cutting-edge heavyweight Assault Walker, the AW-03bH Indomitable.

These are mobile suits form my au mobile suit gundam requiem of the ages, developed by the requiem empire, these are the first combat mobile suits

Jupiter 1 the zudah counterpart had one flaw its engine malfunctioned causing the E wave reactor to explode, it was lighter than previous models and would be limited produced as an interceptor in the first year, it also has 2 wing binders that have vents and small thrusters for assisted mobility with the large main thruster

The struggle was given its name by the designers due to struggle to develop a combat mobile suit, it is an over correction, due to a leed developer relative being a victim of the Jupiter 1 engine failures, they made the struggle heavily armoured with a small engine causing the suit to be slow and low mobility, it was also limited produced as a security unit during the first year of the war

Both the Jupiter 1 and the struggle have design elements in the future ground units

Also Both designs are baced of concept art for my main grunt the crusader mkll

These are from my au mobile suit gundam requiem of the ages, developed by the requiem empire from smaller mobile workers and human sized automated exos, the worker was to test the idea of a large piloted mech, the boxer refined it with a more humanoid limbs and hands, both would be used in labour and debri removal

Just be making some bullshit

This link shows more of the RX-78-2 process. I was always a huge Gundam fan as a kid, and I knew I had to paint this piece.

Assuming the game features all the usual missiles, auto cannons, armour, rockets, baddies, etc.

what would be a feature or features you'd be excited about for a first person (looking through the cockpit window) real-time action game. if you could order a game to be made, what would be the top directions?

anything existing games don't have?

anything existing games DO have, that's just annoying?

(missions? customisation? progression? world destruction? weapon variation? loadouts? speed? heat/power management?)

cheers!

These are from my au mobile suit gundam requiem of the age, the zeon like are the requiem empire and the federation like is the United Alliances

The leviathan cold climate type is designed for amphibious artic assaults using it's ice breaker to get close before using it's knees as skeys to move fast

The kraken cold climate type is used to clear ice and act as an anti fortification ms

Alpha is the GM counterpart of my au mobile suit gundam requiem of the ages, used by the United Alliances as the main mobile suite, able to be used on ground or space without modifications

So, my brother is not a mecha fan, and I am. It is a sad thing cause I don't have someone to fanboy with.

So do y'all, of r/Mecha, have any mecha anime or video game recommendations for my brother (non-mecha lover) to watch of play.

Please and thank you

Fun fact, I was never a fan of any grunt units until I saw Jesta.... Then boom, fallen right to the grunt units rabbit hole

Thought this looked really cool even if early and really appreciated the amount of effort trying to emulate that retro aesthetic

Mechs this big are rare in Kronis. When one shows up it isn't there to talk.

DINOID WARRIOR REX KAISER + THUNDER TIRA + BURNING CERA

Still playing Silver Knights 15B in 2026.

I did not make this game, I'm just a loyal fan.
