Cody is most awesome, as usual.

I honestly thought you'd know that one, Aaron.

Now to be fair, Cody could have also posted giant robots for the sake of robots with anatomical bits and/or cod pieces.  Sorry if that assumption insulted you bro, but it happened.

Not a problem, I'm glad to learn about new mech stuff anytime.

A project I've been working on-and-off again for the last few months.  Modeling a to-scale Knight Errant Titan for my 40k army. 

It's a giant robot.

But tiny.

Stage One


Stage Two


At this point it's now got a head sticking out of it's head to give it a sort of lumbering pose.

That's Heisei Mecha-Godzilla, he has a bunch of people driving him.

Put up some Showa Mecha-Godzilla, space monkeys from the planet near the black hole knew how to make real giant robots! Just ask Ben Baugh (by the way, funny story, if you google "Ben Baugh" you get his facebook page, a new page, and then a link to RPPR's games).

Anyone else find Vic Viper to be overpowered in the multiplayer on Zone of the Enders, Second runner? I made my roommate quit the game with that character, lol.

What the hell are most anime robots? transformers? Hell, even GORT in the new version of Day the Earth Stood Still? I would argue that by the original definition of the word robot, warforged are closer to being robots than gundam.

You missed the part where that part was mostly sarcastic and the main point was that you where saying that your favorite giant robot was the one you came up with.

Also, learn how to quote.

So you're saying that Setherick is actually Hannibal Lecter?

I'll see your Kid Megazord with a Kid Voltron!



And here is a regular Voltron for good measure:

But no Vehicle Voltron, cause no one gives a shit about Vehicle Voltron.

Well, to be perfectly honest, original Voltron (or GoLion if you prefer) was cool, but the show overall was terrible.   But being spliced between two shows and edited to death in made it into somewhat of an incomprehensible mess.  Though you are right, the vehicle team was completely worthless.
