Otaku means "crazed fan" in Japanese My thoughts on Gundams. I don't think that any of us will see sixty meter tall flashy mecha that battle in space blowing things apart and slamming each other into the planet below only for the gundam to get up and hcarge back into combat. I think that first we will see smaller versions of mecha. Such as the smaller models from Exo Squad and tanks with legs. But even before that we will simply see super armored humans, like the Space Troopers from Star Wars. These guys were simply humans with a rocket pack, a proton torpedo launcher, and loads of armor. One day I will have loads of money and develop something that will remind me of teen passions like the gundam series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by black_vegeta [/i] [B] lol, I see what you mean Yet and still, i did a google search for "real mechs", and found this article with a picture of a leaked government prototype, check it out... [url=http://www.nationalexposer.com/dec012000-1.htm]http://www.nationalexposer.com/dec012000-1.htm[/url] Is this a real "gundam" or mech prototype, I don't know, I guess we will have to wait until the government lets us know! [/B][/QUOTE] *cough* Computor generated! *cough* Well, first the gov. would have to spend more money than Bill Gates does on pocet protecters. Second of all, we don't have the technoligy to make a Gundam.....I doubt we have space stations orbiting the Earth making beam saber and such. Third, if they could make Gundams, Afganistan wouldn't be there right now......Especially if I had BlackWing... Eh, Flash? Cossak vs. BlackWing......I'd love to be in that one...

[/B][/QUOTE] I don't expect to see Mechs anytime soon, but maybe exoskeleton things. Anyone ever read any of the 'Alien' comic type stuff? Mox suits and stuff. (10 feet tall, bit Exoskeleton things. Pretty basic, equipped with Flamethrowers and stuff.) Or prehaps 'Suits', like in Bubblegum crisis... Just like really powerful armour. Cossack Vs. BlackWing, eh? *runs off to make new Gundam RPG* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Dragon v2 Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 Well, let's think logic here. Before making the Gundams, which are pretty dam tall, we gotta start off small. For example. Take the Reploids from Megaman. That's a good start before jumping ahead of things. Then again, there's AI. But we'll worry about that later ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sui Generis Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by black_vegeta [/i] [B]Hey guys, I was just wondering, I know their are some type of mechs out there (government project, prototypes, etc), but do you guys think that it possible for a real "gundam" (or gundam type machine), to be manufactued... I think it is... And I definitely think we will see some gundam or mech type machine that resembles a gundam in the next 10 - 20 years. What do you guys think? Reply with links, news, info... Anything about real mechs, etc.... [/B][/QUOTE] The prospect of us making Gundums is possible....But when we make them...it will be more than 10-20 years....To be able to make metal that strong and flexible...We don't have the cababilty yet..

panther3751 Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 ok i just read an article in the scientific american about this. currently, they are working on prototypes for an exoskeleton suit, much like one would expect for a "primitive" mobile suit. they were talking about how useful it would, and the mechanics were easy, and how easy this one would be to operate. the problem? power. they haven't figured out an effecient power source for these things yet. if they had, they said, they would have a working model already. as it is, they are looking at working models in, say, three years.

Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 Well guys maybe ten years down the line this will happen but for now the answer is no! First off we probably have some metals that are strong but no where near as strong as the one in the Gundam Shows. On top of that the power source has a lot of issues that arise with it. In order to get a fully capable mobile suit you would need a small nuclear reactor of some type! As we know so far there is no way to condense the size of a nuclear reactor and if you were to hit the nuclear reactor of a Gundam it would cause way too much in damage to properties and civilian casualties and in all reality the risk are just far too great. Just imagine if a fire or explosion broke out in the place where many of these things are held the damage would be far to catostrophic for even us to imagine. So what have we learn from all this nuclear reactors are and efficent source of energy but far too dangerous to put in a mech and its almost impossible to make a portable and stable version of one. So until we can find a truely revolutionary power source that will not cause damaged to the earth nor our own well being! On top of that since Im sure someone will start to talk about space colonies somewhere in another post. The idea of space colonies is a good idea but at this point not yet fesable. First off take space stations for example they tend to stay up in space for about 30-50 years after that they come crashing down. So until we find a way of keeping them up there we shouldn't mess around. Another problem that arises is not so much in how to get food or water. The food problem can be solved with the theory of biodomes and greenhouses. But you would have to make the conditions for both just right and not disturb the ecosystem of those structures. As for water that can be imported from other places and man made water structures can be made. A problem that does arise is how to keep your oxygen source at necessary levels. First off we do not know how to "recycle our own oxygen yet like they do in the show" sure we could add some plants and stuff but eventually the source no matter what you do would strain the demands of the people living there. Probably the only way to get a Space Colony up and running is to terraform the whole thing years in advance and find a way to keep it up there cause if it decides to come down terrible things could happen on the earth. And if we did learn how to terraform things then we probably would try to terraform another planet then a space colony. Well thats just a bit off insight from myself hope no one minds this long post but I thought I would try to get this thread a little more lively with some of these theories!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panther3751 Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 the colonies remind me of an artificial planet in a book called ringworld. anyone else read it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 I gotta read it someday, but who else thinks that Mobile suits are already built? I'm positive they're here already, I mean, the US government tried hidding the fact they have a flying saucer! Has anyone see the documentary where a scienctist tried to explain how they work? The poor guy had all his records cleared to make it look like he never existed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero-Sama Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 I bet we could,But it would probably be called "A hazard that needs to be taken care of!". Also,That picture is fake.It kind of looks like a big walking cow,Because if you look closely,It's colored with black spots on white paint.

*-- RagnaroK--* Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 Anyway if this was possible, do you think id be in school, he11 no,id be on the first plane to piloting school! this is an interesting topic with many ways to think about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 i just hope one of our generation can build one. the advantages to normal weapons of this era are emense. then again if we come up with this stuff, lets keep it in the right hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancid Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 No god-damn way. Period. We don't have the technology to build anything close to a real gundam. Though if they did you'd see me in one of those. Ah what fun to step on hippies Nice topic. Makes me think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroBlade Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 Hmm.....I think it is possible that the government is prob. making a mech. Maybe not a gundam but definately something. Besides, sony was able to make toy robot that walks and moves around like a normal human being. So I wouldn't be surprized. But I do know that if they REALLY have one, I'll join the military in a heart beat!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geist Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 I heard something about this a while back, I can't remember where though. I agree with Rick hunter, the power source would be a pretty hard thing to take care of, and it would be hard making them mobile enough with all of those weapons. If they do start on one sometime in the future, I think it would look like some sort of small exoskeleton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 yea. no way we could power it. also maybe it would look like the exosuit from the second alien movie "aliens" that movie rocked and it was a good depiction of what we should start with. heck what they show in that movie would maybe be possible now; but there would be no use because something like that could only be built by a few people and those people have access to things like apaches and fighter jets and for now those are the most powerful. it just wouldnt be worth it until we can make one that is really what we all have seen. and thats impossible with a power source.

phoenixflames Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 Even if they do figure out a power source in the next few decades, I'll be too old for piloting school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*-- RagnaroK--* Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 well you are right gotenks, the power source would be a bit dodgy, they wouldnt exactly plug it in to the mains. I may be nuts at this moment but a good source of power would be infra red, but if it was to get damaged then thats that! Solar power would be no good for you could only use it in the day, and not night, which is the best time for stealth abilities. Oh well, its not our problem, its for the military to decide!! lol :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If fun type then yeah sure why not, the article could be true. But dont you think a military type one will be top secret, not allowing the public to know about it? Guessing by the fact that it has no weapons then it must be the fun type, sounds cool though! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
