Trotskylvania wrote:Look at how big animals get. Organic machinery is very robust and energy efficient, with a good strength to weight ratio. Notice that there aren't many bipedal animals bigger than humans. Most of them are extinct, and they didn't walk upright, but rather balanced in a horizontal position using tails as a counterbalance.
We can conclude that making something bipedal that is larger than the average human is a bad idea. Tall humans have a lot of health problems that come with the strain.
From this we could observe that making your mecha much larger than form-fitting power armor or a Tau Crisis Battlesuit is probably a bad idea.

Knowing that mechs are bad and you should feel bad for all of the reasons, what would the hard physical limitations of a mech be, size and weight wise?
Apologies if this is the wrong forum. I've been gone for quite a while...

It worked for Pacific Rim!Reploid Productions wrote:
Really, what's practical/possible in a fictional setting really heavily hinges on what the setting is. If you've got a setting with gigantic dragons, why not have giant mecha to fight 'em?
And now I'm seriously envisioning my dragonborn bard piloting some kinda giant magic-mecha because of this thread.
