Mecha-Mooks: Difference between revisions

 

[[Anime]], has a second, more [[Humongous Mecha|literal]] type: [[Real Robot]] series' will usually have at least one class of [[Mecha]] that basically acts as [[Redshirt Army|the "Grunt" unit]] for the bad guy's army. This mech is usually simply constructed, probably with a basic ranged weapon ([[Gatling Good|machinegun]] or [[Frickin' Laser Beams|energy weapon]] or two, a close-combat weapon, and may have the option of carrying a [[Big Freaking Gun|bigger gun]], depending on how much tougher the hero's armor is. These will act just like regular Mooks ''or'' Mecha-Mooks, depending on how much the writers want you to empathize with the enemy. There's usually a very good chance that the Hero's Rival will at least start out by riding in an [[Ace Custom]] version of this mecha.

 

If one wants something a bit more up the ladder in terms of "kill-tasticness" and "[[Elite Mook|non-suckitude]]", look at [[Mechanical Monster]]. If you want the guy ''building'' the mooks, that's the [[Robot Master]].
