Do you know how hard it is to spend 877 billion loving dollars every year? It's really hard!

Everything you can think to blow it on will run into supply issues. You'll end up paying 60 bucks a screw just because the world has run out of screws to sell you.

Mechs are just the next phase of pork barrel spending after the F-35. The MIC can only be warmed by the warmth of burning money

America is a thinly veiled defense contractor ponzi scheme and we LIKE it this way

Can you do a sex with the mech? Also what's the difference between mech and mecha, one is more humany than the other right? It doesn't change my question on whether you can gently caress it.

with modern fleshlight / dildo technology and proper duct tape application you can basically have sex with anything you want. so yes, easily.

That's great but how much of it's weight/cost in missiles can it survive?

edit: Too much anime is an impossibility.

No idea. All the funding was spent trying to make the mechs less creepy.

Well if they're going to steal plans from Darling and Franxx when there's many less creepy mech animes to choose from that's on them. I would suggest Basquash!

What if the mechs were tiny, like maybe the size of a large rodent? To the people piloting them in VR it wouldn't make a difference, and they only need to be superior to normal troops.

Anyway, that's the concept for my terrible anime that will be cancelled before the 3rd episode.

There’s not really any reason for a military vehicle to be in an anthropomorphic shape. A real mech would be shaped like a cube. You would still need drift-compatible pilots though.

what about when it turns out that they're not actually mechs they're human kaiju that we put a bunch of armour on top of and are pretending are mechs

advantages: dramatic blood sprays
disadvantages: sometimes they go nuts and eat things, can be used in paranormal ritual to collapse humanity into a liquid-based hive mind

The reason is money, OP.

If the mech is humanoid, we can sell special dances for them in the online store.

Microscopic mechs aren't tiny mechs. Do you want tiny mechs firing ERPPCs inside your blood stream? Jumpjetting around your heart chambers? Having laser battles inside your colon?

You know what maybe this tiny mechs idea is going somewhere.
