"Some cultural critics point out that the reason for the popularity of mechanized chassis is likely far less technical: we made them the most powerful fighting machines that could stride across the earth, and we made them look like us." - "LANCER" core rulebook
The soul of a tank is the soul of the armored warrior, the medieval knight made mechanical. A mecha is the soul of the tank, the war machine, finally given appropriate form. To function as its maker, in the matter of war. The spirit of the first stone that the first monkey smashed into the skull of the first threat still burns in the engine fire of the warmachine. The mecha constitutes the unity of man and machine in perfect pairing. In image, and in purpose. Where one ends, the other begins. Blood and oil, metal and sinew, hand and hammer, mind and machine. When these are united, mankind rises. Praise the Omnissiah. Deus Ex Machina.
@@Ally5141 Bruh. I was out in the Periphery the other day in my Star League Heirloom Locust popping the back armor of Wasps and Cicadas harder than John Wilkes Booth. But then a Devastator rolled in, and I felt the FEAR rising in me. Dual AC20s, on a turreted armature. Mechs, I can handle with ease; kiting about with a "Meep-meep!" like Roadrunner. - but you can't backstab a Blake-damned tank. If I'd tried it, that very same combat phase it'd've swiveled right at me and I'd have been deepthroating 40 points of damage. There is not a single location on the locust that can take 20 points of damage, let alone 40. So needless to say, the tank got plenty of breathing room.

I discovered your channel through your Robotech mixes, so I wanted to see some of your original work, and to say I wasn't disappointed is an understatement. This is far and away my new favorite!
@@ElBromoHojo Yeah, to be honest, I wasn't sure if I was using the right name after posting the comment.. I mean I guess they are technically the same thing since the US used Robotech footage to create Battletech, but they eventually developed into their own unique franchises after a certain point. That said, the mixes are still amazing.
I believe this was a deliberate choice. What better to fit cyberpunk than a computer's pale imitation of human creativity? And the distortion keeps a surreal wrongness that also adds quite a bit more character than just finding cool art. On top of that, it has the added benefit of not needing anyone's permission to use the image.
Art is copyright protected my dude and heavily at that. AI art isn't however so he's saving himself trouble down the road. Chill out and enjoy the funk
