I think I get it now, 'Der Weisser'... Though that is only implied if it's Akito's frame. Possibly not, though probably so if they're showing it.

One of the kmf for the new anime?

It's absurd, now, a story in 2017 with more modern kmf of R2.

Another commercial production?

Not necessarily. Perhaps the design will turn out to be an experimental model after all but that wouldn't automatically make it any better or worse than the Lancelot and its variants. Performance is a key factor, not just its rough physical characteristics.

And I suppose reading the text (if we could) would help, no? At least a little bit.

that kmf is gorgeous :blush:

Does anybody know where the idea for a mech came from? I know Gundam is pretty old and transformers is obviously an american adaptation, but where did the giant humanoid robot-warrior idea come from?

1880 Jules Verne novel La Maison à vapeur (The Steam House) featured a steam-powered, piloted, mechanical elephant. One of the first appearances of such machines in modern literature was the tripods of H. G. Wells' famous The War of the Worlds.

Earliest I can go with how far back mechs go.

The earliest version of a metal, mechanical, giant humanoid automaton was from the Greek legends that involved Talos.

Oh Talon, the giant bronze war-machine that was featured in the game "Spartan Total-Warrior" or something close to that name :heh:

:D :D

Another automaton from antiquity would be the Golem.

It was a particularly nasty beasty that was virtually indestructable, kinda like a Gundam...which phoenetically sounds kinda like Gundam. ;)

Thanks for the answers guys, but i was kinda looking for just the anime genre.:D in that case, i think Mobile Suit Gundam is as far back as I found, in 1979. (on my birthday too!):p

Oh you wanted oldest anime.

That would be Gigantor.

Well, that is very old. not very interested in watching, just curious. thanks!

Seeing how that new KMF has a female appearance. It's seems likely that it will probably be named Guinevere if it sticks with the basic theme they have used in the past.

I am curious about one thing. What generation of KMF technology would you think the Gun Ru and Panzer-Hummel fall into?
It doesn't seem as if they would fall into the 3rd Generation. That's the level of the Ganymede. Would you think the 4th Generation with models such as the Glasgow?

According to Mahq the TQ-19 Gun-Ru is a 4th generation KMF while the Mk3-E2E8 Panzer Hummel is a 7th Generation KMF.

Here are the links to their stats.

Gun-Ru

Panzer Hummel

Thanks, that's a lot of help.

You are most welcome sir. :)
