Mechs are just robots that are so bad they need a pilot and all those wack mechs absolutely belong here.


How did the scorpion mount the other robot with all the legs on one side detached???

Here's some bad mech stuff for you, courtesy of Starfield:

That's right, you don't get to see 'em. They exist only in the lore. They were made illegal and all dismantled because Bethesda had to think of something for the Space Libertarians to have to give up so they could go "see, both sides bad!" about the war that happened before the game.

Because the Space Libertarians having slightly more mobile tanks is comparable to the Space Fascists releasing genetically engineered aliens as bioweapons on civilian populations :nallears:

And having entirely autonomous combat robots that can seemingly go "kill all humans" at a single bit flip is fine because... :shrug:

I expected Robo Wars to be a lesser Robot Jox, but I wasn't prepared for precisely how much worse it was and I wasn't prepared for how absurdly racist it was.

It was so heavy-handed with its decades out of date racist caricatures that the biggest impact the film had was sadly making the Next Generation Klingons make more sense.

the absolutely atrocious movie, Robot Wars...

Look, I haven't seen it since I was a kid as a rerun on TV a long time ago, and I vaguely remember the movie being pretty lame and slow so I only half watched it, but at least I think there was a mech fight scene at the end or something...

...which is incorrectly often referred to as a sequel to Robot Jox

Oh yeah that's what I was thinking of, lol.


I'll admit this site got me looking at way too many mechs and related stuff for way too long.


lol, I love how confused and absolutely flustered everyone seems.

Jeez, I haven't thought of Robot Wars since high school. I have only the dimmest recollection of it, and even that only that it was legendary bad, a true star among our B movie nights.

Mobile Fighter G Gundam is a show in the Gundam universe where different nations build gundams (themed around their nations) for a fighting competition which range from cool to borderline offensive to definitely offensive. Here's the best one and most fitting for this thread: Coming from Neo Holland, I give you the Nether Gundam:

You can't put "definitely offensive" and Gundam in the same sentence without this guy:




His name? Tequila Gundam

If you're gonna go for ridiculous gundams, might as well go for the throat and post Zebra Gundam

It's a lumberjack with arm mounted detachable axes. Not really bad enough to qualify as "bad", not offensive enough to be "weird", imo. Shoulda featured more plaid and/or maple leaves.

I assume there was no Kim Il Sungdam and that's disappointing.

Its torso is also a bear's face, as a tribute to Canada's greatest novel.

This annoying dipshit from the classic MST3K episode of "Robot Holocaust"



Like C3P0 but worse. And made you realize C3P0 some how had redeeming qualities.
