A really dumb mecha book is NecroTek by Jonathan Maberry. Because we needed undead giant robot pilots fighting the elder gods of the Cthulu mythos. Ok, that actually sounds awesome, but the writing is fun but meh. The elder gods don’t actually show up, they just send armies of shoggoths piloting transforming combiner mechs.

And this cathedral is a warp capable starship

Hey nice to see Titanfall getting some love. I personally really enjoyed Titanfall 3.

Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope.

Does 40k actually have machs?
I see no reason why they wouldn’t, I’ve just never heard of them. But then my only engagement with the setting has been the Rogue Trader crpg and the occasional video.

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.
Yoon Ha Lee really likes this sort of thing. Is this set in the same universe as the Machineries of Empire books?
Maybe. I’m not sure, I haven’t read those yet.

Titanfall 3 was definitely my favourite game of 2023, it should’ve gotten GOTY.

I’m sure one of Horus’s mechs is just a weaponized rumor.

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.
I grew up with Robotech, which was just a 4chan Memelord’s reinterpretation of various low budget animes.
Why yes, I am a Horus fan, why do you ask?

The Imperial Knight Houses, Chaos Knight Houses, and Titans for your stereotypical mechs.
One could argue that Tau Battlesuits, Space Marine Dreadnaughts, Chaos Dreadnaughts, Hellbrutes, Killa Kans, Deff Dreads, Wraith Lords, Paragon Warsuits, Mortifiers, and Penitent Engines are just smaller mechs.

Wraithlords probably don’t count on the basis that there’s nobody alive inside it, not even in the half-alive space marine dreadnought sense. The pilot is full-on dead and the stone containing their soul gets put in the wraithlord so they can control it. It’s more like a giant haunted suit of armour, in my opinion at least
Eldar titans, on the other hand, actually do have living pilots (and often dead co-pilots), so we’ve still got space elf mechs

Battle Engine Aquila for me, and my favourite Lancer mech is the SSC Death’s Head… That actually checks out pretty well

We 80s kids called Robotech “japanimation”, which I suppose sounds racist today. But we were enchanted! A science fiction cartoon soap opera? And it wasn’t for little kids?!
