Okay so. I'm going into this with full sincerity. I know people liked this one. But here's the thing. I even like weird styles of little mecha but a friend sent me this image of the one from Avatar that everyone was losing their minds over years ago and I am just unimpressed with it, and I specifically feel it's the legs and the cockpit that I just do not like the design of. There might be robots that are worse overall but they are more memorable so in a way that makes them less bad, whereas I feel like this thing is the most generic possible 'we're doing a mech in a hollywood movie' thing imaginable, and that generic feeling makes me hate it even more than something like Godmars which I just find ugly.

One Canuck built the #ttrpg tag and the #mecha tag. And that was me.

ok i can gel with this i think. there is something just particularly uninspiring about avatar's mechs
The only good thing about this guy is that it has a giant robot sized gun with a giant robot sized bayonet, which the protagonist rips off the gun and uses as a big Berserk/Final Fantasy sword to fight against the mecha.
Incidentally this is the only good thing about Avatar as a whole, or at least the only thing I still remember after 14 years
The worst part is there are pods I really like! Lots of 2 leg mecha from macross and such, the bunyip from AMAIM, the worker mobile suits in Gundam, it's just this particular one that feels like the most baseline uninspired thing ever to me
