Ok, so I was intending on making a video post for some plastic model review but I figured this should work better. The thing is that this model here is a kitbash based on something I've recently remembered, which is fucking weird. because i sure as hell never lived near a hangar filled with these giant robots. either ways are there weird shit that you guys remembered out of the blue and am i supposed to start expecting even more of these now?

Kitbash... I apologize, this isn't really my normal field of interest, but that would mean it's several different models combined and adjusted into a different form, right? It's well-constructed, in any event, but the concept intrigues me, especially if it's from a memory. The blade on the axe looks like it would carve a wicked trail, particularly at scale.

I've recently been sent a small being several inches tall, in the general shape of a teddy bear, which flies and speaks. I'm not entirely sure what to make of it, but Lance is mine all the same and I'm slowly getting used to his presence.

exactly! kitbashing is all about realizing your own dream robots by mixing them up! but yeah most giant robots tend to be used as a tool of war in fictions unfortunately :( after all they have quite the strength when it comes to decimating their opposition.

...man, that sounds like something that'd happen in an anime or something though. at least you're getting used to him :|a

It would make some sense that they're weapons of war, wouldn't it? Something that size, presumably armored, with large-caliber weaponry and an aerial view of an engagement... it's powerful. Conventional soldiers have little purpose when a pilot in one of these could do so much more. The single eye is kind of unusual, though.

I could say the same of your giant robot, but more to the point, the memories I'm getting seem to almost suggest the same kind of thing. I think... I think the other me could transform?

yeah, it's the first time i've seen something like it. or remembered. you get the drift, at least. wouldn't be surprised if this thing is just the normal front line unit; there has to be more advanced ones around this thing's location in my memory.

...other you can transform? then you might've been either one of those masked heroes or a magical girl. you know, the one with frilly dresses and stuff, who fights with the power of friendship.

i think that's just as cool as giant robots, ngl.

This one already looks pretty scary! I'm not sure I want to consider armaments on something more advanced than this. And a mass-produced front-line unit could be fielded in quantity, yes? Against a force that doesn't HAVE a more advanced unit, that could well be enough.

That second one... I think that's probably what I'll end up with. I haven't seen enough to say for sure, but I'm fairly certain. And I appreciate your vote of confidence, although I'll be fairly awed if a machine of that sort appears before us.

yep! but unfortunately there's always the thought that having a bigger stick wins a war. it's kind of distressing, but that's how those kinds of things operate. at least in most of the mecha anime i've watched.

and yea, it'd be really cool. but hopefully it doesn't come to that. the world has enough scary military weapons as it is right now, kinda don't want to add to it by accident lol...
