It's a whale in a giant robot suit. I don't care how impossible it is because of the whale's own bodymass, that's just bad-rear end! Whalers will never see it coming. Until it's far, far too late :unsmigghh:.

Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.

Science fact! The reason beached whales die is the weight of their own body crushes them when they are not under water.

Then how the gently caress is your mom still alive?

Wow, that whale would be super uncomfortable. Even if the mech constantly mists it with sea water, still super uncomfortable. :(

Okay, now that I know why there is a mechwhale it makes even less sense. :psyduck: If you can build a whale sized mech to fight aliens, there is no reason at all that a human couldn't drive it. In fact humans would be better, because they wouldn't be weighing it down with thousands of pounds of useless meat, and could use all that freed up cargo space to carry more ammo. I mean . . . I don't . . . what? :psypop:

It specifically mentions psychic whales evolved. Maybe the suits are controlled psychically, so only the whales can use it.

I love that the backstory is that the whales evolved planet-scaled psychic powers so they could bond with the entire human race at once and use their empathy to heal the Earth, but when aliens appear they're suddenly all OO-RAH! GIMME DAT ROCKET LAUNCHER! HELMETS ARE FOR WIMPS!

Perhaps, but when you search "horse surgery" some of the positions are drat...

This one looks fairly comfortable compared to what came up. I assumed castration, but as noted, I don't think they do that under general, and not on critters that old.

There are whalers on the moon that are always carrying harpoons that would instantly stop telling their tall tales and singing whaling tunes as soon as the whales landed.
