MECH SUGGESTIONS
Got an idea for a mech you'd like to share? Let me know!

Current Suggested Mechs
Sigma/Elite Sigma Mechs
  • Very fast/agile, weak-armored mech.
  • Other racial-themed Sigma mechs.
  • Boxing-themed mech.
  • Magitek armor.
  • Very destructive sigma mech. Explosion themed, alt fire cycles ammunition type. Looks very shoddy, explodes on death.
  • Civilian mech. No guns.
Rho Mechs
  • Grav beam replaced with a giant shield, energy sword replaced with physical sword (sheathes on back). Very high armor. 2 versions: Glitch knight and riot police.
Pirated Rho Mechs
  • Grav beam replaced with a function that can change the element of the machinegun at will.
  • Pirate rho with recoil compensators to stabilize the gun.
Ronin Rho Mechs
  • Themed like a dragon and the laser beam replaced with a flamethrower.
Theta Mechs
  • An Apex-themed mech designed purely for destruction. Anti-grav vortex as alternate fire. Very expensive.
  • Giant mobile platform with mountable turrets for passengers.
  • Has modded thrusters that provide more thrust, but at the same time burn enemies on the ground near their activation point.
Tau Mechs
  • Erchius themed, has a giant eye laser. Low armored glass cannon.
New Mechs
These are mechs that fall into a category similar to the Tau mech, in the sense that they are a brand new type of mech. Please keep in mind that mech suggestions of this type aren't too likely to get implemented, but it doesn't mean that they're not an option!

Power Armor - Done
A very small mech that provides augmented mobility and bonus protection to the user. similar to power armor from the Fallout game series.

Aerial Mech
A mech designed purely for aerial combat. Flak cannon primary, bombardment secondary.

Theta Mech Mk.II
A variant of the Theta with multiple, weaker railguns attached. Can transform to combine rails into one massive railgun.

Titan
A hulking mass of a mech with an appetite for destruction. Incredibly expensive. 2x Tau height, battleship appearance. Primary is slow moving projectile dealing electrric dmg. alt fire is a miniature nuke. Cannot fly.

My suggestion:

Loader mech, a construction mech of sorts, yellow and black in coulor?

I dunno :p

I have an idea. Theta mechs with 3 railguns(maybe smaller than the current one, weaker but Faster rate of fire.) attached for each arm. So total 6 railguns attached on the mech. All railguns Can fire simultaneously and for secondary fire, It tranforms mech into a stationary fire platform That merges all the railguns into a single, very powerful railgun that immensely destructible. Also, Color variation support for the custom mechs would be awesome too.

Um here goes nothing


Guardian Rho: The medic mech makes a great support mech, and all mechs make great assault/commando/death bringer style mechs to rain hell upon the battlefield: But what about a guardian? A mech designed to take a frackin' beating and outlast an enemy while allies shoot from behind it from cover? Like a giant energy shield secondary/right click that blocks all projectiles and damage from 1 direction up to X amount (with the typical cooldown between refreshs/etc like a real shield - the amount it can block scaling based on your actual hp perhaps?), with the sword main ability of a Rho mech?

New Mech Idea: Exo-Suit Power Armor. A miniturized mech, only like, 5-6 blocks tall tops, literally nothing more then a suit of power armor you climb into like from fallout. Boosted mobility over all the other mechs, jump-power, jetpack, fall immunity, so on, with powerful floodlights for splunking/diving as a secondary and a single chaingun primary. Kinda flimsy/squishy, but, meh. The small size makes this ideal for exploration and doing missions, as it can, you know, get past doors.....

New Mech Idea: Space/Flying Battlemech. Now, we got plenty of flying/hover mechs: But what about a mech LITERALLY designed -specifically- and only for air combat, for like, roaming astroid fields, or flying around in high altitude around worlds? Have it hover even when "on the ground" and maybe give it wing-like designs. Perhaps an avian theme/touch? Not the toughest of all the mechs, and it would have quite the hitbox/size due to wings/panels sticking out, but it would likely have more mobility/speed then any of the other larger mechs and it could have a primary rapid-attack and a secondary "Bombardment" ability to support ground-based allies.

Devastation Theta: Taking the obliteration cone of the final boss. Make this a cannon that can break blocks and evaporate friend, or foe, in your line of fire. Give it a charge-up time to get it off, of course. This mech could be Apex-designed: A dangerous, outlawed, and outright evil mech designed for the sole purpose of -obliterating- planets and commiting genocide on rebel worlds on levels unseen for thousands of years. Would likely have a price tag to make even the richest players choke up. 3 million pixels at least? The secondary ability could perhaps be a huge "Anti Gravity field" to neutralize ground based enemies - literally lifting all enemies in the area into the sky and making them unable to approach the mech.

Hm, your glitch-theme idea mech with the guardian/tank theme mech could -merge- together. A giant frackin' steel sword and a big flippin tower shield. A knight-themed "tank"/shield/guardian mech. The sheathing sword and the shield animations would be epic.

Sounds pretty good. I could also do 2 versions; a knight-themed one with a tower shield + sword, and then a riot police-themed one with a riot shield + baton.

A glitch knight, and a human protectorate/police guardian? Sounds badass.
Shade 14 Aug, 2016 @ 6:25pm 
Pirated Rho Mech Alternative: The Gunslinger, a novakid themed mech. Loses the chaingun and the gravity control for dual-weilding massive, large, anti-tank caliber style cannons for left and right click functionality like dual weilding guns. Both have high damage, but slow rate of fire, and still give massive knockback/recoil. Think x2 of the mini theta railgun rifles, with more range + knockback.

+Cookies if it has a massive scarf and/or cowboy theme of "lone wanderer" style decor. < _ <

I think a Samurai Hylotl version could be amazing for this, too.

Party Themed Tau Mech: Legion Battlemech. A large, platform style Tau with a big flat battleship carrier style back/spine people can stand ontop of/walk on/maneuver around on to fire from. It would have no flashy large primary attack, only small gun fire/chainguns/grenade launchers or a small long range laser - BUT, mounted on its back/sides/belly/ass would be turrents that 1-4 other players could get inside/man and control for additional chainguns/flak fire secondarys. Im thinking the giant scarab's from halo 2-3 the covenant used as siege machines, you know?

A boxer Mech
Edit \/
I thought why not gurren lagann after seeing the miner mech why not cange it so the mining part is only on the bottom and you would use the S key to activate the drill on lagann and you would use pixels and sunglasses to upgrade to gurren lagann just a thought

Well since you're taking suggestions, what about a mech based on the old renditions of the Magitek Armor?

http://www.pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Magitekarmor.png

I'm thinking about having it use bigger versions of the Claw Glove's slash for the primary fire, and if possible its own version of the Adaptable Crossbow as the secondary, with Aegisalt Bow's arrows instead for range purposes... Though I can't think on how to make the elementals change around

Sounds good, but maybe more of a Theta modification. Without the transformation, the Tau is basically a glorified Theta mech.

Military Mech Hybird

A mech used in the Humen Military before the protectorate Created For the Purpose of Being a Hybird Mech / AI its basicly The Moose Mech from chappie (i said that due to me loveing the movie chappie) with a AI. The AI went rogue and destoryed the Lab And Is out there (this is the time for a mission to look for the rogue mech and take the blueprint) After you get to the mech you would destory it and take a Blueprint and take it to the vehicle shop.

left click: Homing Rockets / Mini Gun

This is a Hybird mech so it has a Selection of guns but the rest of the mechs were destoryed but one witch its blueprints were fine too. The Mini-gun Is a Rapid fireing Gun while the rockets will shoot 1 time per 10 seconds (this is based off of a terraria gun instead of rockets were grenades)

right click: Drone

The Mech is a Hybird dumby so its a drone carrier / Mech. The Drones (only 4 drones) have LMGs only one has a aegisalt pistel type weapon cause the other drones weapons were torn off by AI Constructer Robots

Special: The Mech Is a Drone carrier too so it has a Strong jetpack that will make you fly up and it will start to get slower and slower when you are higher and higher intill it stops and you are hovering (Tip This could be a Way To bring out your drones) ''Edit'' For the blueprint i may want you to add like a mech Bench That is 4x4

what i wanted was on the original mod but then i noticed this so i just copy and pasted my post. also the mech is a mix with aerial and a Power Armor mech (the power armor on this mech takes damage from all its weapons but not the drones)

Being able to wield the Theta Rail Gun was such a pleasure ZZ. I truly enjoyed my purchase. Expect future purchases. Any chance I can get a wieldable Melt Beam too?
