An Eva is not a mech unfortunately… ::: spoiler Spoiler They are giant beings restrained by the armor they are inside of and mentally synchronized with their pilot. Edit: Finally figured out how to use the spoiler tagging system… :::
Honestly if that was the lore of a Horus frame I think it would fit in

Now we just need to spoiler the picture because it shows the Eva with half its armor missing.

I know that. If I were 1% less lazy, I would have a 10k±word essay on Eva up right now.

I mean they are in the setting but rarely used. Unless going by the start of the blackout age not ever really mentioned

Scythe is diesel powered mechs.
Battletech uses fusion. Their issue is heat management.

No love for armored core?

You are right, fusion reactors are used.
They overheat so hard that their fucking ammo cooks off even if it is stored in the extremities, i do not want to stand anywhere near a diesel-powered Mech, or even worse, pilot one when it fires a PPC Salvo.
diesel Awesome-8Q fires single PPC salvo
Pilot immediately asphyxiates from exhaust

diesel guzzling? I thought battletech mechs used fusion reactors, unless they changed that at some point?
I think is cause the style more than the actual tech that it has.

I think people’s favorite is whatever they grew up with.
I played a lot of MechWarrior 2 as a kid. Give me the stompybois.
My first introduction was the so fucking amazing load video for mechwarrior 4. God, they put so much cool shit in a three minute blast.

Scythe is steampunk mechs. Some of them are ugly as shit, but it’s such a great game

MechAssault and especially MechAssault 2 hold a special place in my heart and I’m sad there hasn’t been a remake of either. Nothing like fighting giant mechs in power armor while Getting Away With Murder by Papa Roach or Right Now by Korn play. So much hype.

Quick rec for an amazingly good book I read recently. ‘Moonstorm’ by Yoon Ha Lee. It’s a futuristic sci-fantasy where young ‘Lancer pilots’ fight on behalf of a paternistic empire, in a setting where the gravity of colonized worlds and the very laws of physics are governed by the laws of society and the people that comprise them. This phenomenon is so prevalent that rebel factions live out in a segment of space called ‘the Moonstorm’, where anarchistic and communal values lead to an erratic and unpredictable (but undeniably beautiful and free) cosmos. In the Empire, authoritative dogma and rigid social hierarchy leads to ‘normal’ (to us) gravity and ‘predictable’ (to us) celestial body movements. Gravity is a very heavy-handed metaphor for unity and national identity in the story, and it’s brilliant in exploring the divide between an oppressive imperial autocracy and an anarchistic society with just the raw backdrop.
Also, techno-psychic sapient mechs and massive freaking gravity-powered railguns.

Oh you’re right
