I didn’t know about the square cube law, I’m gonna look that up! I guess we’re gonna have to look into animal shaped mechs! That could be cool though cause now instead of the cockpit being for one pilot, it could staff a whole crew.

Physics always coming in to ruin our dreams of mechs T_T

Animal shaped mechs sound cool, though atp that’s just a tank and tracks > legs 9 times out of 10.

But for some rough terrain conditions like mountains, animal shaped mechs would be really cool!

That’s also why the only really massive animals are ocean animals. Water reduces the effect of gravity so you can have stuff like whales while not being crushed by the effect of gravity.

So you never know, maybe the future of mechs and gundams are underwater robots? Some big fast fish like mech with arms to grab and toss around submarines sounds really cool!

T_T

Physics physics go away
Come again another day

Also a underwater mech that’s as big as a whale but has arms that it can use is a thallasophobic’s and megalophobic’s worst nightmare…also idk if that’s how you spell those phobias but it’s something like that for sure.

I would kill to live in a moving anima-mech house. I’d just be walking around in remote regions in a giant animal body…

Also, I imagine a person who actually successfully makes an animal mech and spends his life living in it has to have a very interesting life story

Furries exist… and most are in high end tech positions… so that might be closer than we think lol 0_0

We already have those underwater mining and research submarines that have arms, so we’re like halfway there to underwater mechs, no?

This is true. And I for one cant wait for the fancy high end furries to make a fancy high end animal mech.

Ykw there has to be a book about this subject. Im gonna look it up!

Book about furries… making mechs? Damn that sounds like a very engaging read ngl

Also the only thing that comes to mind from “high end furries making high end animal mechs” is springlock lmao

Lmao no I meant a book about making mechs. Not specifically a furry making animal mechs pfft

My bad, the wording wasnt great on that.

Ooh i havent heard of springlock, but the name reminds me of Greylock. Is springlock the furry mech analog horror series?

It’s from fnaf? Don’t tell me you never knew about fnaf?

It’s basically the main mechanic for the animatronics in those games. Springs that can lock to allow a person to pilot the animatronic. A springlock happens when those locks… y’know, don’t work. I’ll let you imagine the rest.

I was making a joke about how that might actually happen if someone tried making pilotable animal mechs lol.

Omgg I see now

And yeah I mean I’ve heard of fnaf but I’m quite ignorant about the lore behind it. I didn’t know about springlock but holy shit what a nightmare situation to be in.

But at least the animal mechs I was thinking of are like as big as a home, yknow what I mean? So that a person can just pilot can just live in the mech…how cool would that be? And if you get springlocked, at least it won’t be in super tight human-sized sentient(?) suits.

I mean, that has been an interest of people ever since ancient times. The trojan horse rings a bell, haha. Maybe not as futuristic as an actual mech.

Some sort of moving home on legs sounds really cool. A lot of movies and games put whole towns on moving fields
