| Very interesting discussion everyone. In my opinion, MBT's will always have the advantage over powersuits in terms of cross country mobility, firepower and protection. There are a few situations where a single man powersuit would have significant (...) (20 years ago, 25-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) I don't know jack about real-world tank design and specifications, and haven't given much thought to potential powersuit concepts, but this has been a very cool discussion to read all day. I certainly see a place for tanks in the future, as (...) (20 years ago, 25-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) I know nothing about these mangas, but this small landmate is pure genious! It was impossible for me at first sight to say it's made of Lego! I thought it was a mini figure, a toy, when I first saw that on BS. Incredible use of Bionicle parts! (...) (20 years ago, 25-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) I used to think that bipedal war machines had absolutely no advantages over their tank-al equivalents beyond "wow" factor (and face it, getting your enemy to say, "wow, that's cool that they can do that," just before he blows you to kingdom (...)

| (...) -snip- I'm seeing Shirow cues all over this thing. The feet, the AV sensor "wings" in the back, the head and "ears", the rifle that looks "Swiss", like the rifles Deunan and Bri had in book 2... I think your prototype without the slave arms (...)

| (...) Um, I feel a little self-conscious after drooling over the ALM-011 on not one but two different Mocpages, but what the heck. It's pretty rare that someone de-lurks with basically a master-class mech, so I feel I have to chime in and say, More! (...) (20 years ago, 25-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| I always love to see the slick use of Bionicle pieces. And considering how long it took me to figure out what it was, I'd say this one is especially slick. It's been a long time since I read Appleseed, so I don't remember exactly what it's supposed (...) (20 years ago, 25-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

| Looks awesome David! You got all the details right, even the small arms in the torso. I love the foot design, it's really cool. Heh, very nice overall. That said, I actually prefer the version without all the Landmate details. It just looks sleeker. (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) That entirely depends on what technology you want to speculate on. Power armor would require an incredibly powerful and small power source. I suppose that is a given if you are saying that power armor would exist. The problem with power armor (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

Part of the reason is that I tend to think that bipedal combat machines would have to develop very high levels of flexibility and survivability before (...)
