You are a madperson and a saint, I hope that this gets finished and archived because the only videos I've seen apart from very short gameplay is this one vid of all of the cockpit animations, which is pretty f-ing cool regardless.

EDIT: It is also amazing that your starting weapons are essentially a pair of tank guns and a naval cannon.

I was thrilled by this and immediately looked up the price of a controller on eBay....£300 used. Well over £900 for in-box.

Maaaaaybe not just now. But it's nice to know the option is there!

Don't expect them to get any cheaper. People know how rare this stuff is.

Hm. Now I wish Steel Battalion had been a bigger success so that when Capcom was licensing the Harvey Birdman game they could have done one for Megas XLR, too. Now there's a cockpit peripheral I'd have loved to see.

It would also be something supremely mind-bending to look at since the controls on the MEGAS are arranged by the Power Of Plot Convenience.

Can external fuel tanks be discarded, and does doing so have any in game effect?

Yes, the externals can be dumped and the in-game effect is that if you fail to remember to get refueled regularly, you run out of fuel faster because you'll be entirely reliant on the main tank. On the upside, you'll move slightly faster.

Too bad the Falchion wasn't airdropped in, I would've liked to have seen how a mech the height of a small apartment complex/office building would actually get tossed out of a plane and land.

Maybe it would've been like soviet tanks with rocket-assisted parachutes...

Ooh, 2nd Gen coming up, can't wait to see the reaction to the cockpit for those and the 3rd Gen.

The Blade sure can book it.

At this stage in the timeline did they have roller wheels for your VTs yet? Or was that just running all the way, at the end there?

Running only, I think the wheels are in 3rd Gen only.
