@edgeout I'm not saying this in mean spirit but now that I look at it objectively, if we really did get rare medal, what would really make it worth the differentiation? Is it about the novelty of having one or being special? It was established before that there won't be such power shenanigans.

FRAMEs (Mech combat, political intrigue & corporate struggles)

Well, when its about the size and weight, we are already changing them on Wanzers so I don't think that would be the problem.

I also started to wonder, if HG has a role in the base will we see striders or equivalents? (as in Damocles, Red bull and Sagittarius)

Not that I'm expecting players to get those (at least not solo)

Mechwarrior online has some nice designs, I think. I don't know any of the names or anything, but if anyone wanted to be a primarily a missile mech, they could go with that one MWO mech that has the two massive missile pods on the side and pretty much nothing else.

@WilsonTurner

You would happen to mean Catapult(C4)(Sarna). I'm not too sure how the styles would blend but it just could be different manufacturers style.
If catapult looks nice, other mech from the same universe one might consider is Bowman (Sarna).

The ones from jovian Chronicle blend well with HG as it's the same style.

<Snipped quote by Windicator>

For the purpose of the RP, most mechs that I incorporate 'out-of-universe' will be scaled down a little. So Dreqs are about 4.5 meters; just a tad larger than our own FRAMEs. Our mechs, based on Heavy Gear, have pretty much retained their canon specs. There's a big discrepancy between tonnage in Gears and Wanzers as well, so I decided to use the former.
The Scopedog Armored Trooper of VOTOMS weighs in-between 6.3 to 6.6 tons and stand around 3.8 meters. ATs and Gears are so similar and fit my vision of FRAMEs so well that we're using comparable specs.

@Aristo

Good to know that for future reference.
Thank you for the information.

I posted before about not getting the Dreq (Wanzer form FrontMission) Size but I went to the wikia (is that really the only FM wiki?) just to check if I could find anything there and on the article about "Wanzer" it is stated that "...Tend to be around 5.5 meters tall, and on average, weigh roughly 25 tons." (source)
I just did that to get more data but if @Aristo wants it to be of different size, it still no concern of mine.

@Prostagma I was planning for a Show-like setting.

Also, sorry for not posting last night, got side-tracked, then dogged by a friend into playing LoL until 1AM. I realize that that is a shit excuse, as such, I do not ask forgiveness. I will try to get it done today.

@mattmanganon

Don't sweat it. this stuff happens.

Obsidian: Project Onyx (Idea for a Science-Fiction RPG)

I'm interested and might join but I've got some happening on my end and some RPs might start picking up speed. so no commitments but interested.

FRAMEs (Mech combat, political intrigue & corporate struggles)

Sorry. Have an exam tomorrow that I've been studying for. Once that is done and the weekend is upon me I'll be sure to post.

@Commodore Robot

Don't push yourself to post at the cost of something else as there will be time to.

Edit:
I'll also weigh on the truck issue:
If the trucks were going in 2 lines and one could manage to get in middle of them it just might be possible because the FRAMEs we pilot are 4.1 Meters for Zaruga and 4.3 for handou. Here are dimensions for a normal truck in meters:

So at least the height should not be problem (unless dreq was much larger). It is true though that one can't get "behind a truck" if they go in a single line.

Edit2: for Dreq size, I got a picture of it next to a excavator facing the camera. this particular is for a specific character and unlike other such mechs would, he carries melee weapons.

(could not find pictures with measurements for excavators)

Edit3: I have no authority over FRAME sizes but I confirmed the former sizes from OP and it corresponded with source so I thought it was worth the effort. @Aristo can correct Dreq size if it should be different in universe and what @Aristo says will be how it is.

Lets just call it quits on the rare medal thing, can't really say well for the anime as it has been years since I saw it but for all I care it could be some discount medal if it did not really serve any plot relevance and as we(?) do not plan to use it to get some Meda-Saiyan powers it's not like it matters.

Even I know this is just bull

Medabots RP

TL;DR @Prostagma if you are worried of the OPness of the Medabot, don't. The rare medal is for show only. That isn't to say our bot's not strong though ;)

@edgeout

I second this post, if you either come up with better way to get said rare medal (I'm not too fond of "oh a rare medal. That's rare to just stumble on one.) or we just elect to say I can have full personality without one (thus everyone else would probably too.)
As far as with that medal, I could
care less about its type but I'm not planning on any power shenanigans.

Also to weigh on the thing about shinsengumi and samurai debate, It's the medal that makes the bot go, all I care is if I was to have a personality akin to assassin, I'd probably use my body to go with it as I can. Shinsengumi is only the motif for the parts.
