What's your favorite mech design from an asthetic point of view?

[Nintendo Gamer]

I'm just wondering what people's favs are. I feel like this & Front Mission series are the more believable design choices as far as what could happen. Armored Core is more slick & anime like in design which is cool, but it also feels like it'd happen even further in the future than what conventional MW has set up....like several generations of tech advancements before achieving the speed seen in recent Armored Core games. I do like the variety in the newer DeamonXMachina game as well...I wonder how the progress goes in that supposed sequel they're working on.

I really REALLY enjoy the transformation function of Skells in Xenoblade Chronicles X (I hope they add even more designs with different vehicle transformation variety, weapon variety & make the special Skells you get from completing certain party members affinity quests relevant with higher leveled versions in stead of making them useless end game, I enjoyed the Police Skell variant of Formula you get from completing that annoying H.B.'s quest line but it sucked that it's only useful to level 30 & gets left in the dust once you unlock access the next Skell Tier.) Anyone here play Assault Suits Valken on SNES (it was called Cybernator outside of Japan)? It's a great side scroller mech game on the SNES & they released the uncensored version of it exclusively on Switch along with popular H/Manga artist Urushihara Satoshi providing the beautiful artwork.

I WOULD really like to have a licensed combiner Mech game like Voltron or something...that'd be freaking cool too.

Aesthetically, Mad Dog.

It looks functional and sensible without too much "flair", as if it could be a weapons platform a real military would use.

Rifleman fits this too, but the Mad Dog wins me over every time.

Honourable mention for the Elemental Battle Armour too.

i've been a huge fanboy of the marauder since back in the 80's when i knew it as a zendtradi officer's pod.

Hands down the Stone Rhino. But I also like the Kodiak as a close second.

Classically, Mad Cat/Timberwolf, Vulture/Mad Dog, Bushwacker.

In modern designs, Marauder II, Bushwacker, Centurion.

Has anyone on here played Xenoblade Chronicles X on Wii U? If you missed out on it then you're in for a treat since they're releasing the upgraded version on Switch later this year. Here's a showcase of the Skells & weapons in the game for the uninitiated, enjoy. The Zenith Cannon reminds me of the top portion of Metal Gear Rex's Cockpit & Radar Dome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZdaZ3qkL9w
Here's the trailer for the Definitive Edition release https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meabXp-IFkM
And a video going over the original XCX Wii U release & the Switch updated one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q80IT6quL0
If you'd rather not get this for Switch then you should expect some sort of upgraded version of a LOT of 1st party Nintendo games like this to be available on the more powerful Switch 2 if you'd rather wait to get the game on that system.

Here's an updated release trailer for XCX https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah9JgFGdqWU
Here's someone pointing out the changes/updates that they've observed in the trailer for those of you that haven't played the original game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bgg9gRmDTdo I HOPE we get more tie in lore for Xenogears, that'd be awesome!! Also I'm a fan of the BlackJack design. It's simple true but it's also great for laying down constant fire to anything that's in front of you.

Fell in love with the Mad Dog from the moment I saw it in '95 in the Dropship intro scene for Clan Wolf, and in the first Clan Jade Falcon mission. Too bad it got whooped in the MW2GBL intro and MW2M ending cinematic, but it managed to get even in the MW3 intro, only to get pwnd again in the MW4V intro.
