A Redmech: a pilot showing a glorious lack of sophistication.


If you have ever charged into the middle of the enemy lines because you think you are unbeatable...you might be a Redmech.

If someone has ever typed over general chat: "Strippers and blow in the crater" and you laughed...but went anyway....you might be a Redmech.

If you have ever thought that you were unbeatable because you were running an Atlas...and then met three ECMing Ravens...you might be a Redmech.


Please...feel free to keep adding your own!

If you don't understand that the throttle has settings other than "full" you might be a redmech.

If you have ever overheated and died because you "just had to kill that son of a b***h Raven," you might be a Redmech.

You might be a redmech if you prefer to pilot your mech one-handed so you don't have to put your beer down.

If you can say, "MGs are good." with a strait face - you may be a redmech.

"Redmech" sounds more like "Red shirt" than your definition, though.

If you hit on anything with a female voice on team chat and ask her vital statistics - you might be a redmech

But they are good! Almost as good as flamers!

*Totally not a red-shirted redmech

If you're an Atlas LRM boat busy demolishing that building/hill instead of the mech behind it, then you might be a redmech.

Had a dead guy in my last match go "Why don't you shoot him, what's wrong with you, are you using a joystick?" as I'm desperately trying to avoid getting murdered by two 3Ls and a Treb in my badly damaged, overheating Elmo.

If this guy was spectating me, he can see my damage readout AND my heat meter. Anyway, won the match, didn't die, told dead guy to shut up.
