The Battletech Cartoon.
« on: December 27, 2011, 03:36:48 AM »
I assume most of you have watched this and likely have mixed feelings about it.

I think it's pretty good and for a kid's show gives a pretty decent representation of the BT universe. The hero aspect is a little bit cheesy, but there were a lot of heroes about at this point.

Still it's canon, which is fairly hilarious.

Enjoy it/or don't?!

considering the only weapons ever used ever were lasers, even when a certain character said that they wouldn't use lasers, I was a bit disappoint

I just launch our game, go into spectator and type in cl_hud 0, then I watch the only good part of that cartoon just with updated graphics!

orly?

I must missed that (although I do kinda maybe remember it)
Either way, nothing else ever uses ballistics or missiles ever, so "meh"

I mean the frikken mechs dude

y'know, the things that are the ones fighting 90% of the time
all of the mechs that clearly have missiles or autocannons (besides that one time with the hatchetman) only ever use lasers

Ryu must be pretty busy between all the street fighting and battlemech war going on. Where does he find the time?

The MadDog uses its missiles....

They just had such bad Graphics that the red looks like lasers....the missiles come out in a MW2:31st type way, one after the other.....

I keep waiting for the episodes to end with the Clan Commander spinning his chair around before raising both fists in the air and yelling at the top of his lungs "STRIKERSSSSS!"

the combat scenes are definitely the worst choreographed ever, even for a kids show they're just bad.  But I still love em :)


Best example is in the 2nd or 3rd episode you see a Mauler just casually walk through a jade falcon formation like "oh my whats this here guess I'll stromp on through and not die"
Play my free open source web game MiniMek - Urbie Defense!  Its "mega fun" but with mini meks!

Spoken as a true Freebirth Surat

I personally love running around the board in a Firemoth 4ERMBL & Targeting computer legging everything on the table.....With Elementals as extra armor....if they survive the intitial legging passes then I drop them off on the poor legged bastard....

....but only against stravags that decide "I want too use Clan tech" but "don't want to follow Clan honor rules" as a JF I feel it's my duty to punish those....

....he did take on a entire lance by himself, I would have started legging bitches too....

This cartoon was best. Battletech plus cheesy kids 90s.

What more can you want out of what it is?

New idea- would I be able to use an external hard drive to add RAM and/or improve gigahertz?
