Define 'humanoid'. Is an AT-ST humanoid? It's upright and bipedal, at least. What about animal ones, like the mechanical war-elephants used in the Leviathan series? They're not humanoid at all, but it would be hard to say they're not mechs.

what about the mech from
pacific rim

because he is awsome with his rocket thruster powered arms

Hmm, maybe humanoid isn't the right word, then. The important thing there is leg-based locomotion, though some franchises have non leg-based mechs alongside their legged ones, which makes it complicated.

I have no idea what these war elephants look like, but if you think they qualify, they probably do. I'm just trying to set up qualifications for the on-the-fence examples.

@Joykler

Pacific Rim is the poster boy for the mecha genre.

I'm pretty sure war elephants look like elephants, only badass

War elephant.

Spoiler:

It's completely robotic, in a very steampunk sort of way, but it's a controlled vehicle, not an autonomous robot.

So I was right

Post by **fr0stbyte124** » Tue Mar 26, 2013 2:16 pm

Yeah, that totally qualifies.

*EDIT*
Tweaked the house rules.

Erm...
i think it could classify as mecha, altough not a very good one...
New mecha!

Spoiler:

altough it´s called Death Egg Robot, it is actually a mecha.

thats a mech, eggman fits his little flying pod thing inside it, so it must be a mech.

Totally!
And it almost managed to combat Super Sonic... to some extent.

Wait is that the one from sonic 2 it sonic advance, or are they the same?

It´s from Sonic Generations, which basically contains stages and bosses of every other Sonic game, this perticular mech is the end boss from Sonic 2.
About Sonic Advance, I need to look up.
Okay, the end boss of Sonic Advance is actually called Super Egg Robo and... it´s definetly not the same.
