The dog one is funny because it's a dog piloting a humanoid robot. Everybody knows that you pilot a robot in the same basic shape as your species. Humans pilot humanoid robots, horses pilot horse haped robots, dogs pilot dog shaped robots

But my first introduction to mecha was Voltron, and their mechas were lions before they turned into their humanoid shape. That’s also the only show with mechas that I really ever got into. I was 5.

I thought the picture without the explanation was acceptable for the thread, though. Happy dogge drivin a mecha. I’m a sucker for animal stuff.

That's just their way of market testing a product. If the internet clamors loud enough, then it becomes a real product.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that their Tauntaun sleeping bag started out as an April Fools fake product but then actually got mass manufactured & sold

A few others did as well. It does lead to a lot of confusion because you can never tell which products you see pics of are real ones or just fakes that never left the joke phase.

Well really, we all are inside flesh mechs. Except not really, as we are plumbed into all the mech systems to the point division between the two is impossible! Messy design.

Also, since the octopus has his esophagus moving through his brain, if it eats something too big it can cause brain damage! :science:

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
