areaseven Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Time to end all debate with this... Resiklo Yes, it's bad Photoshop work. And no, it's not someone's fan art; it's actually an official wallpaper for a Philippine-made movie. Quote
taksraven Posted March 21, 2009 Author Posted March 21, 2009 all the talk about southern cross and no one has posted a pic of that @#$% tank hero mecha Happy now???? Taksraven Quote

Vile Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Pill shaped mecha is the ugliest...... I dunno ... I think they're kind of cute ... in a Dalek-sort-of-way ... Quote
taksraven Posted March 21, 2009 Author Posted March 21, 2009 Pill shaped mecha is the ugliest...... Their only plus side, if they could be said to have one, is that they would be very easy to mass produce, with such a simple and standardised design. Kind of like the PeeWee's from Total Annihilation and they would be great for "rushing". What Gundam is that pic from anyway? Its really good artwork apart from crap unit designs. Taksraven Quote

Taksraven They're even easier to build than you guess...in the comic, they're shown to be snap-together. It's the "Saku," from Tony Takezaki's Gundam gag manga. It's really, really funny. My favorites include the Zeon troops going up against the old Clover toy of the Gundam, and the one that showed Char getting fired by Dozle. Quote

Gubaba Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 one of many ugly mech/mecha from battletech books. What's it do? Power Walk enemy mechs to death? Quote
REbirth Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 What's it do? Power Walk enemy mechs to death? Apparently, it has finger guns. But yeah, that's quite an unorthodox design indeed, compare to normal Battletech. Quote

Killer Robot Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 I don't usually visit this particular forum so I only skimmed the thread, but have people really left out Jet Alone? I grant, this might fall under the "deliberately lame" clause someone mentioned earlier. Quote

REbirth Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Forget Jet Alone, what about Jet Jaguar (Original name: Red Alone)? Man, it was Jet Jaguar (and PR's Megazord) that made me a mecha fan in the first place. For its time, it was damn cool. Quote
Gubaba Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Man, it was Jet Jaguar (and PR's Megazord) that made me a mecha fan in the first place. For its time, it was damn cool. Hmmm...Ultraman was damn cool. Mazinger Z was damn cool. Iron Man No. 28 was damn cool. Jet Jaguar...? I dunno. I think even if I'd been a Japanese seven-year-old in 1974, I would've thought Jet Jaguar was kind of lame... As an adult, I simply think he's the second-worst Ultraman rip-off ever (the first, of course, being Inframan). Quote

Nah, Jet Jaguar is the robot version of Ultraman, that's what made he cool, at least for me Quote

I grant, this might fall under the "deliberately lame" clause someone mentioned earlier. Oh god, can't believe that I forgot Jet Alone. Certainly a lame mecha in every sense of the word. I love how it looks like it was designed in about five minutes and the original sketch probably ended up being what was animated. Good call. Taksraven Quote
taksraven Posted March 22, 2009 Author Posted March 22, 2009 Maybe I'm just being nasty now, but annoying little sister mecha, who needs it? Taksraven Quote
REbirth Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) Maybe I'm just being nasty now, but annoying little sister mecha, who needs it? Taksraven For the same reason we have Roll in Rockman/Megaman, ala doing household chores and being the prettiest robot of them all. Edit: Forgot pic Edited March 22, 2009 by REbirth Quote

I love how it looks like it was designed in about five minutes and the original sketch probably ended up being what was animated. Good call. Taksraven I liked JA. he was lame but in a good way. He had an interesting film noir scifi styling to him that makes him look unintentionally like a megadues from Big O now if we want to talk about ugly and EVA, I'd nominate the mass production units. and I'm not even sure what this is out side of being from one of the rebuild movies, but I'm already sure it's the ugliest thing ever. Quote
areaseven Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Sorry, but as ugly as EVA units can be, they can't compare to the Zakrello or the recycled mechs of Resiklo on Ugly Points. Quote
taksraven Posted March 22, 2009 Author Posted March 22, 2009 now if we want to talk about ugly and EVA, I'd nominate the mass production units. I dunno, there was always an unnerving (pardon the pun) factor with those units, I think its the Loretta Swit lips on them. Scary. Taksraven Quote

Taksraven Yeah, the Mass Produce EVAs are supposed to be intimidating and freaky, beastly, after all, they are soulless creatures (angels?) that can keep on smiling no matter what happen to them.

Taksraven I never saw it that way, the massive lips gave them a very goofy appearance. deffinately more amusing then unnerving (until the whole dismembering and eating of other Giant robots part anyways) I think we need more of that in anime actually, more disturbing mecha cannibalism. Sorry, but as ugly as EVA units can be, they can't compare to the Zakrello or the recycled mechs of Resiklo on Ugly Points. fair enough. although I think Resiklo should be excluded form this thread; if you let them in there's really no discussion any more.

Ghost Train Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Now, in my book I rank Stealth only the second worst movie of all time, typical Justice League America vs. The Third World crap story. ... but the jets I liked, and seeing the SU-37 Terminators on screen bumped it from #1 worse to #2 worse.

drifand Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) I present: The Shame of Kawamori... Omega Boost! A wannabe Valkyrie with recycled mecha detailing! Longer-than-sane rifle with a side grip that cannot be reached by supporting arm! Pyjama-stripe torso! Vernier tubing that goes nowhere! Backpack stolen from Scopedog II... ! Beta Boost! A wannabe Virtual-On Raiden, but with horn-y Gouf shoulders! 'No-design' box thrusters on hips and ankles! Crotch blaster included! http://www.toymania.com/toyfair2000/bluebo...ega/omega.shtml Edited March 22, 2009 by drifand Quote
one_klump Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) I enjoyed playing Omega Boost the first 2-3 times through. I the Stealth plane is not one of the ugliest designs out there, imo, there were plenty of real world airplane designs from WWII through the '70s that were amazingly ugly. The Stealth plane was built for a popcorn flick, big explosions and summer fun. It was NOT made to be accurate, it was NOT made to please the armchair military analyst, it was built to look cool going a million miles an hour on the big screen. I have a feeling the only reason most people here slam it is because a few people complained "omg, that thing would never fly, the angle of the (insert random tech jargon here) is all wrong!". Seriously, is was never made to be a real world design in any way. As for the rest of the movie, yeah, it was poo. Here are my submissions for ugly Mecha: Edited March 22, 2009 by one_klump Quote

Yes, cheesy, cliche, all of that. On the other hand, it's just a fun, entertaining, you get what you pay for kind of pure entertainment flick. My son and I watch it like once a year, and it always entertains, and that's all we look for from it. As for the mecha you just showed, how can you complain about that dog Gundam thing? I've never seen it before, and I'm not a Gundam fan, but come on, it's a big robot dog! Not liking that is like not thinking K-9 on Doctor Who was awesome when you were a kid! I think that all robot dogs are excused from the ugliest mecha comparison. Quote
eugimon Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 the laser tail makes the dog gundam all sorts of pure awesome. Quote
