We may never get Mobile Suits and Super robots, but the mechs from Votoms might be more believable.

I've always been extremely jealous of people who own this. Some annoying kid in high school owned it. I thought about strangling him for it once.

Then if some other anon does the exact same thing while also being evil, we'd be all set.
With enough money, practicality becomes a non-issue.

Honestly just piloting one wouldn't completely satisfy me, I'd also want to work on them. I mean fixing it and stuff.

Even if that is possible it'd take a lot of training to use and by the time it would actually happen you'd probably be in your 50's-70's.

>Mechs will never be practical to make or use
There have been hundreds of weapons, in history, that were impractical to make or use, but that didn't stop people from building/using them.

We already have two Power Armour suits in development: the TALOS, and the Raytheon suit.

We have the Sarcos "Slave Arms" developed by Raytheon, which is arms and a cockpit on treads.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RMUk8eBf3k
We have the Kuratas and Megabot shit, which is mostly for show, but worth mentioning.
And we have the GE Walker aka CAM. This shit is a fully functional quadruped mecha developed in '68.

Finally, we have the Owens machine, built in 2009 by an army mechanic. Fully articulated biped, 18 feet, or around 5-6 meters tall.

We are definitely on the road to real mecha, it's just a matter of time now.

More like Post YFW Bionicle will never be as good as Mata Nui ever again and all the sets will forever be like 6 giant premade pieces instead of countless tiny tecnik pieces put together to make a cool looking mech.

Only thing I don't like about the new ones is the aesthetic choice.
Bionicle always had a grungy look to it, but no they're going for a more streamlined look.

I had several Bionicle sets years ago, what was their lore supposed to be? All I remember was them being tiny, then they became those ball shaped ones, then they became those full on tall badasses.
