Betty was portrayed using glados.c-net.org/
Music from Mechwarrior 3
Sound effects from Mechwarrior 2, 3, & 4.
Madcat: "what's a warrior without any weapons?"
Marauder: "A warrior still"
the greatest threat.
Solid Dinobot reference.
Contraction detected. A full Trinary stands ready to kick your ass.
@@KnightlyfrogTook me a second lol. I was thinking wasn't there another last stand scenario where somebody said that?
Marauder "a 75 ton bullet"
Whenever I see the Marauder crest that hill and then go for the DFA, all I can hear is:
"Hey Clanner!"
"I DIDN'T HEAR NO BEEEEELLLLL!"
Excellent work!
Lmao I thought the exact same thing. XD
Highlander(murader) burial
How the guns moved to look at the malfunctioning lasers to signify the pilot in his neural helmet was a GREAT detail
Anyone else imagine the classic “DIE, Clanner!” line as he self destructed?
He died for house Steiner I hope someone comes back in an atlas and stomps those filthy knife pigeons.
“Sir, you don’t have the firepower!”
“I’ve got the mass.”
Excellent work.
A man of culture I see :)
Im ready how about you
"well, there's always the good ol' Death From Above!"
I have a dejavoo from halo reach
Always nice to see the mechs move like they have actual weight behind them. Bravo sir.
Now we just need the *S T E I N E R S C O U T L A N C E*
Kinda mixed though. Feels slightly stiff and for from how they move in lore.
But I feel paired with the sound effects it was trying to hit MW2 players nostalgia and it is neat seeing it in a modern animation.
Even more so with Stackpole style explosion at the end.
@@R4V3-0N Wasn't their movement relative to pilot experience too? I mean the Marauder pilot was clearly a professional, the clanners a bit less so.
But too much weight can sorta negate the point of using them instead of tanks.
@@DIEGhostfish That is not how it works in the battletech universe.
Rip colonel chris hansen
Hansen, as in Hansen’s Rough Riders?
The Marauder is by far one of the coolest mechs. That man is a hero.
Defending the helpless against the Clans, a true MechWarrior's credo in my books during the Clan Invasion.
Typical Clanners respecting a strong opponent, up until it bites them in the ass like always. Awesome job, love these animations!
That's something freeborn scum would say
Lol Correction: Typical Glass Pidgeons aka "Jade Falcons" ;)
Hey know....
@@TimberWulfIsHere Comstar told you to get bent weirdo.
Fade Jalcon
That was impressive. I like how you captured the core of the Battletech strategies; like cockpit shots, melee (rarely shown in the newer games) and using self destruct as a weapon.
Mechwarrior 5 actually has melee now.
@@SentorisVR thats great to hear. Mechwarrior is boring without melee
@@SentorisVR I love using my close combat hunchback.
Try to counter light mech jukes and just beat them for salvage.
@@starlightdragon2665 Upcoming DLC is focused on Melee based combat. If it has a hand, it can hold a melee weapon.
@@Razgriz_01 perfect
Top Notch work.
we must notify the legion of this heroic deed agaisnt filthy jade falcon clan.
sad borb noises
75 ton mechs with jumpjets are always a terrifying thing to behold
It was probably a Mrauder II which is heavier
@@Puschit1 it is, mad-3Rs don't have torso mounted weapons other than the AC-5 on top
@@Stein871 theres a LOT of marauder (series 1s) that have other weapons on their head... that wasnt a mad2... that was a 75t mad1
it had its bog stock PPCs lasers and autocannon
@@brayachdragonbane7529 bruh, it had torso lasers and jumpjets
@@Stein871 To clarify this is indeed a standard 75 ton Marauder, based on the Marauder-5M chassis with some slight modifications. I always imagine that due to the requirements of mission parameters or simply the attrition of technology in the Inner Sphere each 'mech would have some degree of alteration. In this case they basically stripped a little armor off to squeeze in a pair of CT/chin mounted small lasers.
GLaDOS (or a voice generator impersonating her, rather) cast as Bitchin' Betty?
... Y'know what, that makes sense.
Glados would have predicted doom when they fired up the engine to get the Marauder moving.
Colonel Hanson, I salute you.
i wish we had more fan animations like this for battletech/mechwarrior.
Give it time. You'll see more coming, simply over the spike of 40k fans
Games Workshop has severely limited what 40K fans can create, so there's now waves of 40K fans coming over to Battletech and likely other brands, so we will likely see an upsurge in Fanimations.
This was really well done. It was nice hearing those vintage sounds, seeing my precious Raven, even as a redshirt, the contrast between Clan and Sphere tactics, you even made an Elemenal properly fast. Thanks.
Nice infantry models, also really like the desert camo mad cat and mad dog
Stellar work man.
The battle grids, and planetary over shots... are amazingly done. But Ive just always been a fan of your neon wireframe skinning.
Not sure if thats an easy effect or not. but it certainly is an visually pleasing effect, and application of it.
Also see you have been really good, at looking over your scenes, and placing terrain in most scenes to remove the uncanny vally of animating on a flat surface. There was only one particularly glaring “set” in the whole animation. Over all glad to see you improving by leeps and bounds and not just feeling trapped making lore videos for a demanding public!
Keep up the good work!
Got to give mad props, not just for the animation work, but the sound - better dynamism and feeling than more movies and animes I care to remember!
The Steiner pilot was pretty skilled!
Send this to Tex!
That was fantastic. And a perfect use of DFA!
The tone of this video reminds me of D.C. Bruins' videos, in that it created character and personality through visuals alone, without any lines or dialogue. You do great work!
That's the intelligent thing to do when you spot an Elemental. You make that little monster priority one to squash for the exact reason shown.
That was pretty pog
Pirate's Moon?
Well if it isn't the man himself. What up Shivaxi?
Pog like remf?
POG!!
Awesome job! That's Battletech as we played it in the '90s. We didn't have such good animations, it was only in our heads. We had many epic battles like this...
Glados as Bitchin Betty - Good Choice
Marauder - Excellent Mech
Inclusion of Melee, Energy, Ballistics, and DFA; the only thing missing is the use of missiles? - Nice touches
Infantry desperately fighting despite being caught in the open - Yep that is battletech
Jade Falcon as the clanners - OH, I like Icing on my Cake Too
Elemental Pilot having absolute faith in his equipment and not fearing anything - Heh, I mean you can still die if you try hard enough
Savagely beating more than half your enemies to death and using arm flip - Priceless.
Afghanistan evacuation?
The timing on this is interesting/incredible. Great video.
I wish I could say it was intentional but thank you!
Nah, this evacuation was successful.
She's been my favorite mech that got me into btech when I was in highschool back in the 80's. Got me into MWO, and to this day is my favorite. Thank you!
I've just discovered your animations and they are terrific fun, it's so cool seing this level of passion for the battletech universe.
I like how the Vulture kinda steps back in fear when he sees the Nova get BTFO'd
A heroic sacrifice :(
indeed!
Just like any other good ol mechwarrior intro, or atleast some of them
@@RepublicanGuardMan YES! :)
@@RepublicanGuardMan my favorite has to be MechCommander and MechWarrior 3.
Its always nice to see a new video from you! The radar part with the upcoming smoke, these are the details I love. Great work :)
Very impressive and enjoyable to watch! :) I see a lot of MW2 inspiration and I believe I heard a MW4 gear sound when the mech speeds up - very nice!
I don't think I've seen a marauder do a DfA attack before. In our Mechwarrior games, the cost of rebuilding the legs was just too damn high.
But then, we had the marauder II. For a mech built with 3025 tech, it was pretty good.
It's always a good day when one of these is released.
That shadow cat is prolly the best I've seen animated
Glad you like it! It was my attempt to fuse the MW3 and MW4 versions. Seems like it worked!
@FarseerAnimation hey when u get the time can you maybe make a short video of the uziel ...please..ligit 🙏. I'd like to take some pics and 3d print it if I can .....I'm doing the same with your shadow cat ..frame by frame from the video I've scanned for as much detail as I can with the software I have ...3d printing will take around 31 hours for the shadow cat .... all credit given to you of course
@@weld4200 There’s a 3 year old Mechlab video on the Uziel actually! At the moment the computer I use for this is stuck in a boot loop and I don’t know when or if it will be operational again.
So glad I found this! I love the combination of the classic designs, MW2 sound-effects and MW3 music. :-) Makes me feel like a kid again!
This is so friggin cool!
Gotta love the models, they look so adorable!
Marauder? I think you mean Glaug Officer's Battlepod. Khyron approves the battle tactics of the pilot. A good death.
Magnificent battle, a lot of heros give their life for others.
But clan honor and order was needed for their success just as mutch the determination to fight to the last breath.
And now the thoughts running through the head of that poor mad dog pilot:
Is that a museum piece coming at me?
Frack! That's a museum piece with large lasers on it!
Did that thing just punch me?!?
All right here comes back up we got it now!
Oh god he just shot it out of the air!
Well I'm right fracked now aren't I?
To quote Warhammer 40k "only in death does duty end"
that was extremely well don.... i like the graphic's improvements and models used
Nicely done. Very nice to see you making BattleTech / MechWarrior videos again!
I can see a future Marauder pilot squaring up against a Clan Mech and smashing his cannons together like a boxer does when he has his boxing gloves on.
“Ding! Ding! Clanner! Wanna go a a couple rounds?!”
Timber only let him live due to honor, still one hell of a last stand
Can just Imagine damaged cresting that hill saying on an open com " Hey Clanner I'm not done with you yet". Processed to hit jump jets. Fantastic vid did well capturing the scale and weight. Can imagine Hanson broke that Elementals spine.
That song from mechwarrior 3... Was incredible. Funny animation!
Voice acting could use some work as the voices were hard to hear at points but apart from that great work and glad to see you improving.
This is the battletech renaissance of fan animation,games workshop move aside.
Love the art style, gives the mechs’ both weight and dexterity. Well done
I've been watching your Star Wars content, but that led me to your Battletech stuff. I've been a BT player since 1985. So now I'm a subscriber.
beautiful work, not personally a fan of the marauder. But how can you not appreciate this amazing work?
Oh man you just gotta love those sounds from mechwarrior 3.
Some of the Starcraft sound effects and music brings back great memories
i'd love to see more animations from the infantries perspective, to highlight the size of the Mechs.
I love your choice of sound effects for the weapons!
Cool! Love the robotic voice tonal variations, great production all around!
That marauder pilot definitely had a big brass set on him. Bet he got an entire chapter dedicated to him in the remeberance. Not bad for a fed.
*Salutes in 6M Warhammer
The marauder my preferred mech just behind the warhammer 😊👍
Absolutely amazing. Loved it!
This is awesome! Good work, Farseer!
Very good, great takes on the classic models, excellent use of sound effects and an exciting little story. Love it :D
Epic. Damn fine work. Can't wait to see what comes next.
Every time I watch a new one of these I dream of a remastered, modernized Mech Warrior 2 game that could look and play like this with the slightly cartoony graphics but hard-hitting, lethal, and realistic combat. And VR capable.
4:40 this why everything needs jump jets
2:17 Now that is one way to deal a Mad Dog. It's weakness is it's lack of Close Range Armament.
The Marauder Pilot used his Armored Gauntlets to Pummel the Clan Mech into the Ground. Thats a Smart move.
For the Timberwolf is a fearsome sight a symbol of dominance day & night. On the Rock it left it's mark, a beast lurking in the dark.
I was wondering why the pilot didn't Death from Above at when his weapons were off and we cut away, and then they did later. Had me going there for a sec
love that elemental fighting a mech that could just as easily squash you 1 on 1
If the Battletech animated series was animated by Clone Wars fans. I aprove!
The MW2 SFX mixed in w/ MW3 sounds made this pretty great, too.
This reminds me so much of the cutscenes of old RTS games.
I've watched this several times. Great stuff!
This was phenomenal, great job!
I always loved the Marauder. One of the most versatile mechs once you get past the bulkiness.
The Marauder: 75 tons of "Fuck you, I'm fabulous!"
боже, никогда еще одновременно такой ностальгии, восхищения и кринжа я не испытывал))) это восхитительно.
That was excellent!
Great as always!
Ah the marauder! My favorite mech!
Great video the audio was awesome as well!
“Only in death does duty ends.”
Always loved your animations! KEep up the good work!
i love how you implemented the mw4 sounds
this is an amazing animation, love the heft of the mechs
Stackpoled again
Excellent animation! Loved it!
That was awesome! thank you for making this!
Well done. Loved it. Please make many more.
I bet that vulture pilot was hyped as fuck when that marauder backwards shot the mech and destroyed it in one hit
🎶This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here... huge success.
It's hard to overstate... my satisfaction. 🎵
I looooove the computer voice in your videos! So cool.
How on earth did I miss this one ?! Lol they escaped the Planet but not the system .......This was so Bad ass really has a nice feel ...also poor Little Kit Fox
That was the most depressed looking Marauder I have ever seen xD
This is incredible, I cannot compliment you enough on this.
That was fun. Cheers mate
Not sure I'd turn my back on a timber wolf even if it powered down and knowing, especially a falcon's. Also autocannon? Great animation.
just some wicked stuff. good job!
Love the use of the MW3 music
