Is it a mech suit( a suit of armor controlled by one person, and the armor has built in weapons)?

It's a giant robotic vehicle. It's a fighter plane flown by a pilot, which can transform into a humanoid form that is still controlled by the pilot; it also has an intermediate, hybrid mode.

So it's power armor that works like a transformer.

I tend to think of power armor as being something you wear, rather than something you pilot, but yes.
Here, watch the opening to Macross, which this is from.

So more like Titanfall?

Grebo-Guru In reply to Zowen2001 [2015-10-16 19:07:15 +0000 UTC]
Exactly. Titanfall is inspired by Japanese animation shows like Macross (the one I showed you) and many others.

I see. It also inpired governments and private companies to start researching ways to build power armor and exoskeletons to put on people to make them weapons.

Well it all stems from the Starship Troopers novel.

I utterly despised it, but I'm aware I'm in the minority.

Agreed. I have no idea why this has never been canonized.

Love the design. I always had a soft spot for Macross. Didn't liked Macross II or 7, but Macross Plus was awesome. Love the three modes. For me Gerwalk seems the hardest to design being an hybrid, but you managed it quite well.

Well thanks, but I didn't design this. I just scanned it in and colored it. It was drawn by the man himself, Shoji Kawamori, creator of Macross.

Damn man, I'm jealous. I did get to meet Yoshitaka Amano, Eiichiro Oda, and Akira Toriyama... but all those were many years ago.
