Falling Skies: Reboot (Mecha, Space Opera)

Having spent more time than I should looking at giant robots, this one speaks to me, although it's not at all what I want to write for this RP.

The T-120 has been added to my app-post.

Question, will be there any heavily fortified areas that we will have to break out/in, in our adventures?

A melee heavy mech could work, like a sort of medieval knight in space kinda vibe, relying on its size and armor to keep it safe, while still being mobile enough to function as a fighter. Probably not melee only, but it could definitely be melee heavy, with a few supplementing ranged weapons so its not a sitting duck while making its way to the front.

@vietmyke

Here's somewhat of idea for my melee mecha.

Mr.Lancer A Lot

I also have the newer version of the T-120 (still WIP). So, I might have two sheets from which I gonna pick from.

T-120

Appearance: Image of T-120 in Battle
Designation: T-120
Role: Heavy Assault Walker
Description: The T-120 is the product of Chelyabinsk Heavy Industries (CHI), located in the Neutral States. The mobile suit itself is a highly reliable, durable, mod-ability, and easy to repair heavy model. This makes it very common among mercenaries and other nations that are unable to provide their own heavy-duty mobile suits. In exchange for such endurance, the T-120 is not well suited for speed or elegance. Most often, the T-120 is used as a heavy infantry support platform or a heavy-breakthrough vehicle: stuffed with the heaviest guns, armor, and shields. Unlike the mobile suits of the United Earth Empire and the Coalition, the T-120 was made with a very different design philosophy. Its rough and industrial appearance is a result of the need, or want, for a mobile suit to be able to take heavy punishment and dish out punishment.
Systems: Kirov Superheavy Lascannon (Superheavy) - This direct-fire laser cannon isn’t all that threatening in appearance, but it can easily punch through shields and armor alike without much effort. The fast maturity of laser technology has allowed the Kirov Superheavy Lascannon to be a deadly weapon on the battlefield - sporting better and cheaper focusing chambers, cooling systems, and other mechanisms vital to its operations. The lascannon is mounted on the right lower-chest, and its inner-workings located in the back of the T-120. The rate of fire for the cannon is 32 shots per minute with the range being as far as the sensors of the T-120 can go.

MRL-20 (Primary) - The MRL-20, or multiple rocket launcher-20, is a single pod missile delivery system that contains 8 missiles. For the T-120, it has a twin-linked system of two pods on its upper-chest. Each missile has the ability to track its target with the goal of hoping to overwhelm counter-systems. A half-barrage can easily take out a light mech, but the same number of missiles will just disable a med-mobile suit.

‘Rhino’ Defense Package (Utility) - In exchange for mobility, the T-120 has undertaken an extensive overhaul of its armor and bulkheads. Not only does it add more armor to the upper chassis, but it also adds armor to the arms, legs, and everywhere else. In addition, more bulkheads and internal support-structures have been installed to further enchant protection for the overall chassis. Combined with the alright high-durable nature of the T-120, Andrew’s mobile suit is considerably tankier, albeit at the cost of some mobility.

Class 2 Fortress Shield (Utility) - Class 2 fortress shield operates in a similar fashion to reflex shields. The basic designs and method of shielding is all the same, but there are some key differences. First among them is the higher-capacity of damage that these shields can take; a result from increasing the size and scale of the shield gens. The second is the slower recharge rates because of said shield generators and their different inner-workings. Lastly is the weight of the generators, reducing mobility by a decent margin. Combined together with Rhino, the T-120 has very exemplary staying power.

Would a pure heavy melee mecha work somehow?

Falling Skies: Reboot (Mecha, Space Opera)

That said, I'm sure something akin to a Macross Destroid (or the Warhammer if you favor Battletech's ownership over the mech over Macross/Robotech ownership) would suffice nicely as a heavy weapons platform.

Destroid/Warhammer

@Whoami

Thanks for the suggestions! I think I'll either take the Atlas, Thunderbolt, or the suggested Macross Destroid.

Falling Skies: Reboot (Mecha, Space Opera)

@Dog I'm not sure about the size scaling, but from what I've seen I think Imperial Knight's would be a bit too unwieldy to fit the bill of Heavy.

@vietmyke

Oof. I really just like bulky and heavy-ass mecha.

Falling Skies: Reboot (Mecha, Space Opera)

@Dog Yeah! Battletech stuff works too! You're looking for stuff that would fall into the range of 'heavy' battlemechs in that case, stuff like the Thunderbolt or Marauder would fit the bill pretty well

@vietmyke

Would Imperial Knights work as well? From 40k.

Falling Skies: Reboot (Mecha, Space Opera)

@Dog Here's some bois I would consider thicc. Some are a bit on the lighter side

@vietmyke

Kool stuff, but I'm more of a fan of western mecha than eastern for my tastes. Don't mind if I use BattleTech for images?

Falling Skies: Reboot (Mecha, Space Opera)

@Dog Took a quick lookover of the new mech you wrote up, and while I do like where you're going for it- I think you might've gone a bit too full hog on the chonk. The whole walking fortress sits more on the 'Super-Heavy MAS' end of the spectrum than it does 'Heavy'.

You can and should definitely go for a thicc boi build, but I think a 40k Titan would be a bit too much on the chonk side.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, there's a lot of people and a lot of concepts going around, and I'm finishing up some assignments for class, so I didn't see it.

@vietmyke

I see. I see. You got any mecha images that are big and thicc?
