We 80s kids called Robotech “japanimation”, which I suppose sounds racist today. But we were enchanted! A science fiction cartoon soap opera? And it wasn’t for little kids?!
MechAssault and especially MechAssault 2 hold a special place in my heart and I’m sad there hasn’t been a remake of either. Nothing like fighting giant mechs in power armor while Getting Away With Murder by Papa Roach or Right Now by Korn play. So much hype.

I think people’s favorite is whatever they grew up with.
I played a lot of MechWarrior 2 as a kid. Give me the stompybois.
Battle Engine Aquila for me, and my favourite Lancer mech is the SSC Death’s Head… That actually checks out pretty well
I grew up with Robotech, which was just a 4chan Memelord’s reinterpretation of various low budget animes.
Why yes, I am a Horus fan, why do you ask?

Unless you count Power Rangers, Gundam Wing was my primary mecha media as a kid. Loved that shit!

My first introduction was the so fucking amazing load video for mechwarrior 4. God, they put so much cool shit in a three minute blast.
Mine was…
“There’s still room in hell for your sorry carcass”
“Look on the bright side kid… You get to keep all the money.”
