Yeah, I was shooting for something different. Make it look life like.
Actually I wanted something universially appealing. Something my wife
wouldn't mind displaying in the living room and that I thought was cool.
This brings up a interesting issue though doesn't it? What makes a mecha a
mecha? What's the criteria? I thought:
It should be a robot of some sort.
It should have a pilot or remote control. (A.I. makes it a cyborg for me.
Well maybe cyborgs are mecha?)
It should mimic life. (person, animal, insect, (LOL) plant. Heh, watch
out. Here comes the Flower Mech!)
anything else?
