Make a plot for a Mecha show

>I know there is a similar thread already but I want a thread that concentrates on the story and physics

Make sure it has the following:

- A main character mecha

- deus ex machina Physics particles

- death

- bonus if it manages to have comedy or be wacky like Zambot 3

(pic related)

What makes a mecha plot great?

>Discuss what plot aspects makes a mecha show great

Personally I like mecha shows that details the physics and engineering of the mechas. That along with kill em all endings makes the show memorable.

and we make a toy line and model kit line out of them, but we only make toys and model kits of the main cast, never of anything interesting

I still haven't watched Mazinger or much for super robot shows yet aside from Zambot 3 and Gurren Lagann. The length of the essential shows puts me off when I still have a bunch of Gundam shows, neat one-offs and behemoths like LotGH and Urusei Yatsura on my backlog, not to mention big literature, vidya and film backlogs.

STAR SPANGLED STEEL: FREEDOM BY GIANTS

>America lies conquered by the growing Communist threat, but before the last of its authority surrendered, the President gave the order to launch emergency colony ships into space to retreat dozens of thousands of Constitution-loving patriots to the next star system and recover

>Named the 51st state, the planet of New Columbia, led by Washington Washington, spends the next century to colonize the second American-inhabited planet, and constructs an army of massive tanks, walkers, and mechs to retake the US

>New Columbian Scouts at the turn of the century discover that not only has the US of A fallen, but the entire planet

>A new recruit vomits into his helmet at the sight of socialism

>The Communists have built their own mechs in the meantime, and have perverted the White House into a Red-painted mobile weapons platform controlled by the leader of the Global Communists, Karl Chemao Staljong, a clone created from the DNA of all revolutionary far left figures

>To retaliate against the evil threat, the fleet of New Columbia sets up a formation with ships colored and arranged to resemble the American flag, descending upon Europe

I'd like to go with with a "Ghost in the Machine" concept. Taken literally.

>Earthbased, 2 Superpower coalitions are going at it in a resource war, this is more a excuse in this case.

>The Main Mech is a "Malfunctioning" massproduced Mech.

>Despite NOT having a AI system or being able of autonomus movement it has done so, such as twiching when turned off, the cold open has it in a fight where the cockpit crushed, yet it keeps fighting, albeit clumsily…

>The focus is on the Mech maintenence team at a FOB investigating the issue and various pilots, eventually setting up means to communitcate with the Mech, while it still ends up needing to be fieled to fend off attacks.

>The Main mech acts like a Super Robot pilot, up to calling attacks and talking about justice and shit, up to ROCKETTO PUNCH attempts (atleats one before communtication is set up) and making BE COOL,STAY IN SCHOOL PSAs and Posing.

>Eventually a similarly "sentient" Mech from the other side shows up, but this Mech is not only a "Ace" prototype machine (Im thinking Flight capable, wheras main is landbound), but enjoys fighting and killing, and detests its own pilots despite needing one to function at full capacity and is very very smug. Think Garfielf

>As shit moves on the team adds exchange parts and upgrade things (Partly due the Super Robot personality making it damn near suicidal).

>Suddenly a realization that none of the parts that were part of the "Original" Mech are left, yet it is still sentient.

>They decide to start trying replacing parts with superior parts piece by piece to transfer the sentience to a unique superior machine suited for its "antics".

>Right in time on a push on the enemy main [Continent] base.

>Main Mech kicks ass as a Super Robot.

>End has it and the team get transfered to a newly established Global Defense Army to continue research.

>It is never "solved" why the main mech and "rival" became sentient.

>The stinger has AYYS closing in on earth, implying this all was a prologue for a actual Super Robot show.

Basically "Zaku thinks it is GaoGaiGar" with some philosophical backdrop or vice versa.

Yeah, i know im shit at this.

Its a Philosophy term from "The Concept of the Mind".

It is where i assume Ghost in the Shell took its title though.

Though as i said, im using the term literally rather then as intended.

You should try to draw some references for your mech design, if you don't you might end up drawing it completely differently after awhile

Reposting from the other thread because nobody read it and this one seems more active

Background

>2XXX AD

>The world has been decimated by an alien race that came to mine the planet for resources

>Humans waged war against them and fought bravely, but ultimately lost

>Humans piloted Gundam-like mechs

>Aliens used "No this definitely isn't an Orbital Frame I promise"

>Once the planet was drained of everything that was efficient to mine, the aliens just left, no bitterness, what they had come to do was done

>All that is left is a mostly barren desert and the mining structures (think pyramids) the aliens left

>The world is now mostly governed by 'Ra' - a group trying to bring together the last fragments of humanity and rebuild society

>The Bastet legion pilots Cat units, the mechs left over from the war, protecting from the roaming (unpiloted) Seth the aliens left behind that attack anything in their path and will never stop. Once, the Bastet Legion was the best of the best, now it's just whoever they can find.

>However, a splinter faction of humanity known as 'Osiris' are angry that Ra does not do anything to take revenge on the alien race, so they aim to take over the city Ra has set up and use the Seth units to bring the fight to the aliens

>The Anubis armada use Jackal units, heavily modded Cat units with anything they can get their hands on to beat the shit out of Cat and Seth units and scavenge what tech they can

>Ra devised the Wadjet task force to tackle Anubis

>Wadjet pilot Wadjet units, which are like Cat units, but customized to the users specifications

Now down to the characters

I'm no good at Japanese Names, so I'll just call our characters by letter

>a, Male, age 21

>Kinda grungy looking, shaggy hair, just wears whatever's in the drawer. Pale skinned, as he spends a lot of time indoors doing anything other than work.

>This guy is basically Ryoma from Getter Robo (not the highschool football player edition)

>Hotheaded and loves to fight, a often gets into more than he can handle, but can be fun around those he likes

>Acts confident, but secretly he isn't so confident in himself, so throws himself headfirst into combat to try and prove himself, to himself

>Lives alone

>Secretly likes c, but isn't confident enough to admit it

>Pilots a somewhat chunky, but deceptively nimble mech. Thick armour means it is very durable. Wields a sword and hand cannon. Nicknamed "Dragonfly"

>b, Male, age 26

>Not the sharpest dresser, but tries to take care of his appearance. Slightly tanned, as he works outside a lot, but takes care not to burn his skin.

>Usually the one to help a out once he gets himself in too much trouble

>Gets pretty sick of his shit, so usually butts heads with a

>Other than that he's pretty chill, a total bro, always tries to look out for everyone

>Very responsible, tries to be useful to the city

>Lives alone, but considers the entire city to be his family

>Pilots a big, highly armored mech. Pretty slow, but fast enough to keep up in combat. Uses punches to inflict damage, broad forearms that double as shields. Nicknamed "Scarab"

>c, Female, age 19

>Dark skinned and very nimble, basically Victoria Wood from TerraFormars. Dresses as you would expect a tomboy to.

>Bubbly, funny and generally just fun to be around, but cocky when it comes to her mech

>"Yare yare, what would you do without me?"

>Knows a has a crush on her, but pretends she doesn't know (despite it being glaringly obvious)

>Usually where the laughter comes from

>Lives with her uncle, a Cat engineer

>Pilots a lightly armoured and extremely agile mech. Equipped with a jet pack for boots of speed and extended jumps and a high powered sniper rifle. Nicknamed "Hornet"

Story

>Wadjet unit are tasked with interrupting Anubis missions and reclaiming Jackal units

>Starts off with just a few missions with just messing up Jackal groups and general banter between the pilots

>A few chapters/episodes of them messing about off-mission

>One mission, everything is going as normal, when the jackal group is suddenly obliterated in one shot by a single Seth unit, which then turns to the Wadjet group

>a is absolutely horrified, b realises there's no fucking way they can beat it with just the three of them and the best course of action would be to retreat, c concurs

>Obviously this comes way too late, as the Seth unit is already upon them

>Then, several more (about 23) Jackal units fly in from nowhere, and scream at the Wadjet unit to help them, as a small town is nearby

>Now, a Jackal unit can usually take on about 2 or 3 Cat units at a time, before being destroyed, and a Wadjet unit can take on one or two Jackal units with moderate ease

>A Seth unit is about 6x the size of a Cat unit, and it takes about 50 Cat units to take one down, with heavy casualites, about 2/3 the squad

>a jumps in, despite Anubis and Osiris being their enemies, but the town in more important

>c says that they can't just let him get killed, and jumps in too

>b sighs and joins in

>The destruction is immense, the Seth takes out most of the Jackal units and knocks a's Dragonfly into the town

>It comes after it. a escapes, but the town is destoyed in the process

>Eventually the Seth comes down, but there's only about 6 Jackal units left

>The Jackal group thanks the Wedjet group for trying, and flies off

>a is horrified at the sheer destructive power of a single Seth unit

>a realises the reason the Bastet legion is so vast and will take anyone, is because they're just throwing bodies at the Seths

>Has some internal conflict at the base

>b and c say he should take some time off, but a insists he's fine

>next mission there are way more Jackals than usual, like WAY more

>b thinks it might be a trap, but a brushes it off

>as they move in, a Seth unit shows up

>oh fuck not again

>The jackals go for the headpiece, and seem more coordinated than last time

>a jumps in to the fray

>again, b and c jump in after him

>a focuses on the head with the Jackals

>Eventually, it splits open, and a jumps in

>The Jackals back off a bit and watch

>The Seth powers down, then powers back up

>"What the fuck are you doing, a?" says b

>a is now in control of the Seth

>a tells b and c he's joining Osiris, and is gonna use this Seth to help them. Seeing what that one Seth did scared him, and he figures that the aliens are only going to do that to others. The best way to do that would be to take over Ra and use their resources to gather more Seth and go into space to fuck them up.

>"You realise that we're not just gonna let you go" says b again

>"Get in my way and you'll regret it" - a

>b and c run forwards, and a just swats Scarab away like it's nothing, bisecting it in the process and instantly killing b

>c jets up and takes out Hornet's rifle, only for a to snatch it away and smash the barrel into the head of Hornet (cockpit)

>shot of the gun barrel pointed directly at c, in the cockpit, smashing through the front

>c evacuates the cockpit with an ejector seat seconds before a pulls the trigger

>she's just a little too late as it takes off her left leg and burns the entire left side of her body

>a sees her land on a sand dune

>he still has sentiment for her and leaves her there, instead of killing her

>c is just laying in the sand watching a and the Jackals leave, Scarab's burning remains just in view

>fade to black

>fade in in a hospital, c is awake

>gets up and falls over as she has only one leg

>cries tears of bitter rage, but scrables and grabs an IV drip to suppourt her

>stumbles out of her room, pushing past doctors

>one doctor blocks her path and insists that she go back to bed, only for c to knock him the fuck out

>gets out of the hospital, to find the head of Bastet and Ra pulling up

>c speeds up, grabs the head of Ra by his shirt

>"I'm gonna kill that fucking bastard. Me. Nobody else."

>c passes out

>time skip ahead to c talking to her uncle

>drives his big-ass truck into the desert and picks up Hornet, some bits of Scarab and brings them all to the Seth they brought down a while ago

>c has asked her uncle to build her a custom mech capable of taking on a Seth

>He's nothing special, but he can do a lot with just a little, and he had two Wadjets, a most of a Seth and about 30 Jackals to work with

>Months later, it's done

>Small, but rediculously fast and packs a wallop

>Equipped with 'Horus', c sets out to take her revenge
