That's pretty baller, gotta be honest.

With motherfucking style, baby.

>>9648

You don't need it, but it helps with confidence.

easy choice for gearing up

Launch on the second loop. Soar the skies, fight rhythmically.

>he doesn't have launch music

Indeed

also less launch, more drop but still

Fuck yeah

>0:00

>You're running to your mech, the sound of fighting outside is drowned out by your will to fight

>You jump into your cockpit and close the hatch, it's pitch black

>You flick a few switches and…

>0:06

…a band of light travels from the front to the back, but you're still in the dark

>The sound of whirring indicates that your mech is waking up, ready to fight

>Screens one by one illuminate the dark - shield capacity, gyroscopic balance, fuel and ammo count, damage report, energy distribution, radar and then, finally, the front camera

>0:19

>A bright light fills the cockpit, that would blind most, but you know your machine, you're used to it, you welcome it. You are finally ready.

>Your jets blast you forwards, propelling you above the carnage

>You begin to freefall, down to the ground, ready to strike

>The enemy's anti-air weaponry spots you and begins a volley, trying to take you down

>You dodge every single shot with a quiet, cold and precise determination

>0:38

>You land and quickly destroy the cannons

>Moving fluidly, you stride across the battlefield searching for your kill

>This is your life as a soldier, trained and ruthless, you are the perfect killing machine surrounded by metal

I would pilot a DCAM 004 Lion from SRW to this, probably would get shot down by some ace faggot piloting a ultra expensive special snowflake prototype mech but who gives shit, that's what we grunts do, a fuckton of us launch from some rust bucket of a carrier in dumbed-down MP models based on past successful prototypes to give support to ace faggots piloting new prototypes and then get shot down by enemy ace faggots. Such is the life of a grunt, but hey, if we survive some battles we might become ace faggots ourselves, so its not so bad. The bad part is that the ace faggots get all the credit afterwards, forgetting who was covering their asses from being outnumbered by enemy grunts while they destroyed some enemy secret weapon. But enough ranting, have some Kenny Loggins/Top Gun OST, pretty fitting for mechs too, especially if you are launching in a flight-type mech.

I had to imagine a setpiece.

>Track starts, battle already in progress. Mobile Suits flying everywhere, things exploding, tons of gunfire being exchanged between sides. It's a total warzone and neither side is willing to fall back.

>A team of Mobile Suits similar to Zakus rush a Federation battleship head on, unloading the machine guns into the ship's bridge, crippling the ship, before one of the Zakus is shot down by one of previously mentioned battleship's gunners!

>"We're getting overwhelmed out here! That Gundam better be ready to launch now!" screams the Captain of a modified Salamis housing an experimental type of Gundam, not even a proper prototype.

>GMs fall, some GMs taking cover behind nearby asteroids.

>0:46 "Gundam Vanguard, launching!"

>0:51 Mobile Suit is catapulted straight into combat!

>Pilot grips the controls, but nothing happens… Suddenly, total power loss! The 360 monitor goes dark, the pilot quickly grabbing a flashlight as he'd expected something like this might happen. Rather than abandon the Gundam…

>1:07 – Pilot frantically repairs sabotaged components as the Gundam drifts in space, fire whizzing by repeatedly, as some friendly units can be seen intercepting incoming attackers. Some shots glance off of the Gundam's armor, sending the MS slightly spinning in other directions. A missile fired from a Zaku's bazooka closes in for the kill on the Gundam…!

>1:20 – The Gundam's eyes burst back to life with power being restored, the pilot just barely avoiding a series of missiles. Hero grabs onto the controls after slipping back into the seat, the Gundam blazing towards the Zeon capital ship!

>Has a short run in with a Zeon ace pilot, the two exchange short battles before fire from an ally pilot disables the ace's MS with a well-placed shot

>1:44, Hero rushes the enemy's command ship, pulling out a beam saber and dragging the edge straight through the hull of the ship after dodging a hail of defensive fire.

>The Zeon command ship explodes violently behind the Gundam, the battle ending in a flash as the Zeon ships and mobile suits are forced into retreat.

>This is Commander Zent of the Omega Squad, head pilot of ZF-Atlas-CK-HAF21

>Primed at orbital drop point, ready for battle

>6…5…4…3…2…1…Drop!

>Ready men? Our Atlas will annihilate the Jupiter Republic!

>The Atlas has landed successfully, no damage noted

>Begin the purge.

>Launch jets!

>What? Destroyed? But the ground forces haven't fired a single shot and there are no enemy jets to be seen!

>Somebody tell me what the fuck is destroying my jets!

>Wait, what the fuck is that thing?

>It doesn't look like a jet, blast it out of the sky!

>It's fast!

>What the fuck! It shot the missiles right out of the air! Bastard!

>No… It couldn't be a mech! It's too small! It's barely even 20 meters tall!

>The Jupiter scientists couldn't have made it that small, it's impossible! Our Atlas is 85 meters and heavy. Damn it, we're too slow!

>Shed all Armour and fire all missiles, cannons, guns and bombs! Launch all jets, all of them! Lose as much weight as you can.

>Engineering, force the engine beyond the safety parameters, and overclock all actuators! Use all the coolant we have if you need to!

>We're going to take this thing down, else we'll never win

>Fire all beam cannons, give it only one path!

>Now! Punch it!

>What? It's gone? Where!?

>In-inside our arm?

>Damage to the torso, breach in the engine room!

>And now the engine is critical… wonderful.

>It's been an honor men.

>GOD FUCKING DAMN IIIIIIIIIITTTT-

In case I didn't make it clear, mine was the little one
