[Eric Blank]

We're taking over the world, one village at a time.

It's now my headcanon that all Urbanmech pilots are at least a little drunk and a lot maniacal

Anyone who's willing to sit inside the head of a giant bipedal warbot has gotta be a little crazy.

[Frumple]

And since the urbie is like all head their pilots are extra crazy?

[EnigmaticHat]

Don't play MWO but my understanding is its one of those characters so niche/silly/rare that using one is automatically a meme.  Like Kind Dedede, Techies, SC2 Battlecruisers (until recently).  That kind of thing.

I looked it up in a wiki because of that video and apparently its the slowest light mech with limited firepower (compared to non-light mechs at least), and is primarily defined by the ability to rotate its torso 360 degrees.  Which is likely the reason the streamer is engaging at point blank range; if he walks at the enemy they have to turn their legs to engage but he doesn't.

But if they say they need a psych evaluation then it proves they're sane enough to fly pilot a giant bipedal warbot.

A real catch AC20 too.

Nah, we just tell anyone who looks remotely unstable to get IN THE FUCKING ROBOT and then if they're not crazy enough they die and we can just replace them.
It's a remarkably efficient means of waging war for something that involves vertical tanks.

That's Clan philosophy. UrbanMechs are Inner Sphere, where they make 'Mechs do everything, even the Mech-scale equivalent of tunnel warfare.

Oh, guess I know why IS shit is inferior then. Kappa

Only in Liao space.

[Kagus]

What's the name of that really tiny mech, with the claw? Only slightly larger than the pilot itself? I had an action figure of that mech.

[Akura]

Elemental? Technically not a 'Mech, it's a Battle Armor.

Looks like it... Only places I've seen it were that action figure and a couple instances during singleplayer missions in Mechwarrior 3.

[Rolan7]

I'd seen Elemental power armor before, but today I learned it's also a name for the 2-2.5 meter tall genetically enhanced supersoldiers inside!  Sorta like SPARTANs from Halo but more so.
