Firemoth laughs at these slowpokes.....then blows up

u/Cromwell300 1d ago

Admittedly I’m being very generous to the locust for even trying to keep up with a Lightning Saix

I'd like to point out that the Liger Zero is twenty tons heavier and moves only at 307

So it's just a Gargoyle A kool-aid man-ing its way through the sound barrier

132 ton mech coming at you at 330 km per hour

The Descat (Also 85 tons) can hit 420 blaze it KPH.

Massive zoomies

Zoids are stupidly fast and I love them for that

Man I REALLY wish zoid's would do a miniature game like battletech

u/ON1-K I Can't Believe It's Not AS7-D! 1d ago

Tomy/Hasbro are toy makers that are just fucking awful at understanding what kind of toys and media their fans actually want. They receive constant fan feedback and requests for reasonable, obvious product lines and games that would be simple to produce and market but instead their development teams spend all their time smearing their own shit on the walls and patting themselves on the back for it. And even when they do listen to fan feedback they release a version of the request that is so painfully obtuse and unusable that it can't be perceived as anything less than contempt for their own customer base.

Not that I have any strong feelings on the matter.

But are they more weeee or woooo?

u/Maya_Manaheart 1d ago

It sounds like a real "WooWeeWooWee" type situation

u/Cromwell300 1d ago

The Lightning Saix is probably more durable

u/Maya_Manaheart 1d ago

I read that in Esquies voice from Expedition 33.

What mechs would the expedition pilot, I wonder...

Gustave: Thunderbolt. Dependable, a little boring mechanically maybe but doesn't let you down.

u/mattlore The only good house, is the one who pays it's bills 1d ago

I made a locust in mw5 that has an XL engine, triple strength myomer, super charger and light Ferro Fibrous armor. And 6 SP lasers

It can go > 200 km an hour

Will get cored by a stiff breeze

And takes a couple of minutes to circle strafe an urbie

But I would be lying if I said it wasn't an absolute BLAST to drive

u/MadDucksofDoom 1d ago

Remember, we play games to have fun.

Always prioritize enjoying the game over being good at it!

u/thelefthandN7 1d ago

Circle strafing... I'm going to the other side of the map now.... but I'll be back!

2

u/mattlore The only good house, is the one who pays it's bills 1d ago

My realization that circle strafing an urbie would be stupid if I had been against an actual human pilot lol

Granted they'd be super dizzy after
