People saying Heavy Object is a mecha... Tanks aren't mecha you know, no matter how big they are. And fyi, I didn't say it was bad, just that it wasn't a mecha.
Tanks that run on sea... oversized tank that can shoot a hole through a mountain with a railgun Better yet, hopper tanks... Let's be realistic, Heavy Object is like a transition phase from oversized tank to mecha or gundam you can boldly say it's the primitive form of mecha Guntank... you called it tanks or mecha?
If a guntank has a robot body, then it's a mecha. If it doesn't have a robot body, it's not a mecha. By robot, I mean actual robot appearance wise, not mechanical machine in general. If it looks just like a tank with no robot head or robot body, then it's a tank, no matter how advanced it is. The very basic definition of 'mecha' is robot, not general mechanical war machine. If M4A1 Abrams have a torso on top with arms and a head, then that's a mecha. Before that, it's simply a tank. I don't read Heavy Object, so I don't know what kind of tank it is, so this should be as objective as can be.
I meant Guntank as in gundam series guntank If you can say the basic definition of mecha is robot a.k.a a machine capable of running complex action on its own I can safely say Heavy Object is mecha Just because it doesn't have a head or torso, doesn't mean it's not mecha (blame gundam for this, putting main camera on head which realisticly is not very good way)
No, the definition of a mecha really is having a head or torso, in a way, what we consider a robot. Because if you consider a machine capable of running complex actions on its own, then sci-fi battleships with AI are also mechas, but they're not, they're AI-run battleships. Also, whether they are capable of running complex action on their own isn't included into the definition of mecha. Most mechas can't run on its own. The definition of mecha is a robot, the level of autonomy has absolutely nothing to do with the term. The majority of mechas are dumb robots that need direct control from the pilot. So as I said, M4A1 Abrams is a tank, even if it can run on its own with its own AI. Battletech's Mechwarrior machines are mecha, and apart from advanced gyro equips, they're as dumb as a robot can be. So if you say guntank from gundam, then yes, they're mechas. Whether they have tracks or legs are not of consequence. It must be recognizable as a robot. These are mechas These are not mechas Then again, the concept of mecha may be different based on culture. To westerners, they think mecha only refers to giant robots. But to the Japanese, mecha refers to any robot, regardless of size, as long as they look like robot.
Have you seen the Heavy Object picture? Water Strider [which mimic how a spider walks in ground], Beak Carrier [which is basically just a super large gun mounted] or Ultra Nova [I forgot what its name is] If just need a head and torso, well Ultra Nova is a mecha look a like [it's basically look like evangelion copy]
