Aphrodite A could work (from the Mazinger Z series). Note the boob missiles.

problem is, it is a bulky armored robot game.
bulky just isn't a feminine look. the mechs also dont have any attire or accessories to make them stand out in that way.

the game is based off tanks, robots, military stuff etc. tell me the last time in real life you saw a tank that looked more female?? or a more female looking 747, a female humvee, female apc?

they are bipedal robots of war. they don't have sex and need to show the other mech what sex they are. what purpose would it server?

I am disappointed at armored suits Hollywood creates for for their female stars, looking more unrealistic and non-utilitarian than the suits being worn by their male co-stars. My take is that they are just setting them up for failure. What woman would want their chest plate designed so that they get part of their breast blown off instead of ricocheting if hit from an angle.

I just wanted to say that this isnt some attempt at gender equality or some SJW nonsense. I just really like the idea of different mech styles and was curious.

Yes. Yes they are, but your eyes can't kill me dead the way your other... assets can, so you'll excuse me if I do keep track of what those things are doing, yes?

No, BT universe is consumed by patriarchy and mechanical rаpe.

There are some exceptions in case you identify yourself as a chicken though.

Clan protomech pilots can leave their mechs just fine. The pilot entombed versions are that of Word of Blake protomechs, since they lacked the necessary technology to duplicate Clan ones.



Clans OP.

Applied technology from Elemental design?

Can you all wait a week or something? So we can enjoy it before you come piss all over it?

It isn't diversity that is bad, its what diversity means these days. Its code for not white men. which is bad. racism/sexism isnt okay, regardless of who its aimed at. FORCED "diversity" is bad. THAT is what people hate.
Be a douche about it all you want, but thats the truth.

Im suprised no one suggested this, I definitely always viewed it as a female mech:

That's actually one of the most "mecho" desings ever conceived, after all isn't it a walking d*ck?

[Anjian]

Series is among the best mech series in years, has the best designs for feminized mechs. Not to mention a totally awesome opening.

But that's not a problem Battletech has. Battletech's 'problem' is that it accommodates non-white, non-male, 'non-standard' people.

So we're back to the people complaining being jerks who just can't stand that a company has acknowledged someone other than them.

Yep, just like the whiners who pretended that "Rogue One" had nothing but female characters (there was actually only 1 in the entire cast of significance) and that "The Force Awakens" and "The Last Jedi" had only 1 problem - not everyone was a white male. These types are laughable and everywhere, sadly.

As for the mechs, a few of them in MWO have a somewhat less manly roll of the hips when they walk, but that's about it. There was Aphrodite A from some old 80's cartoon with breast missiles... that sort of counts, but it's not Battletech.

Creating a cast that reflects the actual skin colors, genders, and whatever of people in the world or setting is not "forced diversity." I'm very tired of listening to people complain that reflecting reality is somehow "bad" and "social justice" or some other nonsense.
