The Official "Identify This Mecha" Thread Ver 1.0

ShadowCell · Post by **ShadowCell** » Mon Jan 26, 2009 5:12 pm

This is our official thread, once and for all, for finding out what that mysterious mecha you found is called and where it's from. If you have a mecha you can't identify, please post it here where hopefully someone who knows will answer your question. We have some rules, of course:

-Please post a picture of the mecha in question. You'd think that would be obvious to everyone, but you'd be surprised and perhaps saddened to discover that no, no it is not.

-Don't start other threads about identifying mecha. Other threads will be locked and redirected here.

-Don't double post to get attention. Once you post, just sit back and wait for someone who knows what the mecha is to comment. If nobody knows, then, well, nobody knows.

-Don't comment on the mecha in question. That will clog this thread up in a hurry. Just ask your question, or answer someone else's question.

-Don't be jerks. Or I'll kill you. =D

Thanks, and happy pondering.

The black machine is a Type J-9 Griffon equipped with the underwater operations backpack. I knew it was a Labor just by looking at it but I couldn't figure out which one and I had to look it up first.

I remmeber taking a trip to China one time, and seeing a new series of transforming robots, I brought a bunch of the toys home with me from that trip.

Basically, they were train themed robots, but only the front car transformed into a robot. The designs were kiddy-kinda SD Gundamish.

SD-ish transforming train robots? Sounds like Hikarian.

Could be wrong but that looks like just very good fanart. See elements from at least half a dozen other mechs in it.

ZeroBusterXX · Post by **ZeroBusterXX** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 9:44 pm

I was thinking it was fanart too, but I swear that "G" on it's shoulder looks so familiar. That's what was throwing me off about it.

Nightwing you are my favorite person for this week. Could you post a link to a site where there might be more pics or post some more yourself? I really like those things.

ZeroBusterXX · Post by **ZeroBusterXX** » Thu Jan 29, 2009 12:42 am

I agree with Toxicity, that last one is especially cool. Looks like an Orbital Frame or something.

ShadowCell · Post by **ShadowCell** » Thu Jan 29, 2009 12:48 am

This thread isn't for commenting on mecha, it's just for identifying them.

It hasn't even been two pages yet, guys. ><

Sorry to disappoint you but i cant remember the direct link, because i originally found the link while lurking 4chan (of course). Just try going to www.pixiv.net and browse around.

Sorry to post again but what is the name of this Gundam? man I really need to watch the older Gundam series...

Hyakushiki · Post by **Hyakushiki** » Thu Jan 29, 2009 6:13 pm

I think that's the Zeta II, I think it was a Zeta Gundam design that was never used in animation.

Does Mahq not have any sort of file for it? I looked through the Zeta Gundam section and couldn't find it?

Hyakushiki · Post by **Hyakushiki** » Thu Jan 29, 2009 6:23 pm

It sure does, look for it under Zeta Gundam Mobile Suit Variations.
