BOLOs vs. Mecha

SAMAS · Post by **SAMAS** » 2002-12-05 04:24pm

Actually, check the movies. Jehuty moes at a constant speed in game. but the setting often has it fighting while moving at high speeds. On the movies, the also show Jehuty moving at supersonic speeds from a dead stop.

no mech can stand up to being run-over by a 32000 ton tank...

It's tempting to say Imperator Titan there, but they are not really mechas..

Shin Dragon Getta Robo would mad rape all Bolo's in exsistence. Lets see you prove that Bolo's can take GT level firepower.
SDGR suddenly finds itself turned into a paperweight by an EMP from the Bolo (unless you have some proof it's EMP resistant)

Or failing that it just takes remotely links in and takes the sucker over.

And what stopped SDRG from making a big hole in the planet where the Bolo used to be before it gets its emp off? Not to mention it can do it from pretty far away (Space).

Its just Shin Dragon. Shin Dragon Getta Robo is pretty long don't you think

Hmm.. well I'm the biggest Getta Robo fan here (just got the entire TV series on DVD!) but I'm not convinced that it would win. Granted it had some fantastic abilities such as its ability to open wormoles, blow up Ganymede, and take a point blank hit from a gigantic nuke (one that put a hole in Japan) I'm sure there's some detail that will be its undoing.

The other 23 Bolos... Which have surface to space capability.

How about comparitive reaction times? (Not sure if it's human controlled but if it is then it's reaction times are outclassed by the Bolos).

And Bolos can engage targets in space from the ground with hellbore fire and with missiles capable of covering interplanetary distances if I'm remembering the quote right.

Kindly point out where as I certainly don't recall Jehuty breaking the sound barrier anywhere (and I have those two movies btw). Furthermore mach isn't exactly high speed (particularly when we've seen Bolos engage meteors doing multiple KPS)

Shin Dragon is controlled by three human pilots who may be plugged in to the machine itself. Though there isn't anything that shows Shin Dragon having a high reaction time.

The only Gundam mecha I see having a chance here are Colony Devil Gundam and Turn A/Turn X Gundams. Maybe not even Devil, if the Bolos have the firepower you describe.

However, Moonlight Butterfly x2 = any tank reduced to dust.

SylasGaunt · Post by **SylasGaunt** » 2002-12-05 09:02pm

Care to describe how this Moonlight Butterfly is supposed to do what you claim? (and why the suit using it isn't reduced to dust as well) Also what's to keep the Turn-A and Turn-X gundams from having their electronics blanked by the Bolo?

VF5SS · Post by **VF5SS** » 2002-12-05 09:05pm

Moonlight Butterfly is some kind of super powerful nano-machine attack which was used to wipe out all technology on earth and send it back into the dark ages.

1. Bolos do not carry interplanetary missiles.

2.

On the movies, the also show Jehuty moving at supersonic speeds from a dead stop.

That won't mean shit against a weapon traveling better than half the speed of light.

3.

Moonlight Butterfly is some kind of super powerful nano-machine attack which was used to wipe out all technology on earth and send it back into the dark ages.

some other type of anime super-mega-weapon crap

Gee, why not just have them blow up the planet?

Some victory when you have to call in orbital bombardment and superweapons to win.

Moonlight Butterfly is an attack that uses nanomachies to devour the electonics of everything but the machine that launched them IIRC. They spread for miles, miles, and more miles, wiping out any electronics they find.

They can launch it from anywhere.

BAH, NEO GRAZON USED CLUSTER BLACK HOLE CANNONZ TO BLOW UP BOOLOZ

Anyway, the utilmate wank off mecha much be Ideon....damn galaxy destructing firepower with main weapon and planetory destruction by a swing of the sword....

I could swear there's a quote to that effect somewhere, I'll have to look (but I do know the missiles were the first Bolo anti-space weapons)

Ah, in that case the Bolos hack them and make the Nanos eat the Turn-A and Turn-X, problem solved.

Or Nuke set for EMP blast. The nanos can't possibly have adequate shielding, so they go bye-bye.

SylasGaunt · Post by **SylasGaunt** » 2002-12-06 02:40am

And Bolos do have big ass EMP warheads for their missiles to, along with the ability to generate EMP on their own to use against arty and the like.

Post by **The Yosemite Bear** » 2002-12-06 05:42am

Fuck that shit Just charging up the Hellbores & IRs causes a shit load of EMP, the radiation effects are strong enough to kill most machiery, and any unprotected life, if their own battle screens didn't absorb most of it (To cut down on the Civilian Casualties), Also Bolos have had Nano tech, after the first crash, the Cloud Chamber is a nanoweapon too.

The Kloude Chamber isn't a nanotech weapon, I think you're thinking of something else.. however they HAVe run into nanotech before so it's hardly new to them.

The other 23 Bolos... Which have surface to space capability.

Which unfortanatly prob got blown up with the first one. GR blew up europe. Also the blast traveled to the core of the moon to give you a distance rating...
