- While many games have given players the chance to pilot giant combat robots, Respawn's online fps Titanfall brings man and machine together like never before, allowing pilots to embark and disembark seamlessly from their mechs. With it's fast-paced adrenaline fueled action in battles of up to 12 titans, it can be hard going out there for a pilot, so for those of you in need of a little extra inspiration in battle or maybe you just enjoy giant humanoid robots .. Join us on Sci-Film7 as we countdown the top 7 pilotable mechs in movies.
Kicking things off is James Camerons sci-fi action film Aliens. Despite the fact the Power Loader from the 1986 film is not the most combat equipped machine to make our list, when Ripley joins a team of Marines returning to the planet from the first film to investigate loss of contact with the colony, it's the heavily armed marines who are no match for the predatory blade tip tailed alien creatures and Ripley piloting the Power Loader Exo-Suit armed with little more than a blowtorch that takes on the alien queen.
In 2008s Starship Troopers 3: Marauder, Rico leads an elite team of troopers on a rescue mission to Oscar Miguel -1, a planet in the Arachnid Quarantine Zone. Rico and the other six marauders enter bugtown using the Federation's new battle-suits, equipped with flamethrowers, dual machine guns and the love of Jesus Christ, they attempt to defeat the Arachnid warriors and rescue the two survivors Holly and Lola.
The 2003 film The Matrix Revolutions was the final movie of the trilogy and showcased The Armored Personnel Unit defending the underground city from the sentinel machines. The APU consisted of 350 hydraulic powered battle suits designed for combat and defense of Zion, with two 30mm cannons equipped, the APU mechs might just be reason enough to take the red pill.
2009s Avatar, set in the mid-22nd century, humans are mining a precious mineral on an inhabited moon called Pandora. When the native inhabitants the Na'Vi refuse to evacuate a sacred site, war breaks out between the native clans and the human RDA private security force. Not for the first time towards the end of a James Cameron movie, a human in a mech faces off with an alien species when Colonel Miles jumps into the AMP suit (the A.M.P stands for armored mobile platform} this time though roles are reversed as Neytiri of the Na'Vi and then Jake Sully's avatar fight with what seems to be the real monster of pandora... Colonel Miles in his AMP suit!
Making it into our top 3, Robot Jox! A 1989 post-apocalyptic science fiction film set fifty years after a nuclear holocaust. Open war is forbidden by the surviving nations which have merged into two opposing factions, the western influenced Market and the Russian themed Confederation. To resolve territorial disputes the two sides hold gladiator style matches between giant robots piloted by robot jox. The acting is far from Academy Award standard and the films cold war influenced plot plus the special effects make it a little dated, but with espionage, genetically modified pilots and stunning robots armed with some of the most surprising weaponry, it's well worth it's number 3 spot on our countdown.
In at number 2 is 2013s Pacific Rim where an interdimensional portal has opened on the pacific ocean floor, colossal beasts referred to as Kaijus come through the portal and venture inland attacking the surrounding cities. To combat them the pacific rim nations come together to build Jaegers, equally colossal humanoid war machines. The biggest mechs to make our countdown, the huge Jaegers are usually piloted by two people whose minds are linked to share the overwhelming mental load of operating them. Armed with weapons like these triple buzzsaws and retractable swords, should these gigantic mechs of been number one on our list? Indeed, they are pretty cool and it's hard to find something not to like about these mechs, but perhaps the names Striker eureka, Coyote tango and Gypsy danger could have been better.
It may surprise some but topping our list is District 9, made in 2009 this film is about an extraterrestrial race stranded on earth and forced to live in slum like conditions. While smaller than most on our list this alien mech-suit packs quite the punch, armed with a plasma gun, machine gun and the must have for any giant mech... shoulder missiles! But best of all... it's equipped with a vortex shield capable of blocking munitions and reflecting them back to the enemy just like those found in Titanfall. Agile yet powerful, perhaps the only drawback to this mech is to pilot one you would first need to be suffering from a condition mutating you into an alien prawn like being! Still, with the ability to fire livestock at your foes.. well worth it in our book.
Gotta love them Matrix-APUs with their exposed pilots, hydraulics and ammo belts.
Ahah what were they thinking
Matthew cause it feels badass like you're Rambo firing machine guns shirtless
The APU's from the second Renaissance look a lot better.
Yep I love just for that it show how desperate they are and it show how they need to use every little thing they have and can’t spare anything for protection and stuff like that
Pacific rim is not 2009!!!idiot
District 9 was awesome and so was the Mech.
Even though it was only piloted by an amateur it managed to wreak havoc.
Imagine an experienced pilot in it...
Doan08 ok
Doan08 To be shoved in to a cockpit designed for anotomy for totally different species. To have a variety of diffrent kind of probes and sensors pierce your skull and spine. To bleed continuosly all over the place whilst piloting the machine through a fog of mind numbing pain and agony - Yey. Wikus was seroiusly injured entering the vehicle and would probably have died with out the metamorphosis part - which btw was the only reason why he could operate it or use any of the alien artifacts.
sanakassara I think he means piloted by a prawn warrior. That thing would not escape the mnu then, it would just take them all out insted
TraiIerRedux Sure, if taken out from the context. Seems to me that he should have mentioned that part.
sanakassara
It is a Prawn weapon. I thought it would be obvious that I mean a experienced Prawn Pilot.
exos and mechs... not always the same.
True
Some people claim they are. They are completely different
@@annihilationsquadron8585 exactly
EXOs, or I assume exo-skeletons, are light and designed to fit around parts of the wearer, improving strength and sometimes speed, a great example would be the EXO-Suits from COD Advanced Warfare.
Power Armor is bigger, heavier, and cover the entire body (there can be some gaps.) Fallout4 Power Armor or the Mjolnir Armor are great examples.
A mech is typically large and requires the user to sit down, these range from smaller Titans to huge Jaegers.
@@chavezreal This is actually very false. A mech counts as an exoskeleton, in real life these already exist usually used in some type of construction to carry heavy weight(not everywhere obviously. They're a different type of exoskeleton called 'Powered Exoskeleton'. Nonetheless, they're exoskeletons. Exoskeletons, atleast the ones you've attempted to talk about only talk about the first three or four types.
District 9's mech is by far the best ever shown on film. Aside from the mech in Aliens, the others felt fake and over the top. But in District 9 it felt so real and organic. I like how it was grounded in it's interaction in the slum environment, as opposed to some CG background. Moreover, it being Alien technology just made it so cool. It was also the perfect climax for such a superb film
Agree
Haha banana mech go pew pew!
Yep. I agree. District 9 mech is pretty fricking awesome.
"Equipped with flamethrowers, double machine gun, and the love of Jesus Christ." (
Ask a Dreadnought of year 40.0000 he may can tell you more about this unique battle strategy
@@NarrowJester91 *WE ARE ONE IN THE EMPEROR AND THE WILL OF MAN*
"... Flame throwers, 2 machine guns... and the love Yizus Kraist!.." that made my day..
I am Titanfall fan and i love the mechs of Avatar ! And Pacific Rim is a very nice movie !
District 9 is basically the prequel Titanfall lol.
ikr
Though if it was, I bet that it years to reverse engineer the technology, had enough money to fund any projects, and a lot more time to make any sort of mech of their own
that mech is basically Titanfall ION on a budget
Yeah pretty spot on. I might re-order that a little, but number 1 is The district 9 mech - that is just awesome!
I remember watching Robot Jox over and over again when I was a kid.
The fight concept was cool. Would love to see something like that with current CGI
At first didn't care to see District 9, but once I did it soon became one of my all time favorite movies. The mech fight scene is EPIC! I so much want to see a sequel to this AWESOME movie! Come on sequel! You left us wanting more! ;)
Hmmm, those pacific rim Jägers are almost as big as supreme commander units
They're bigger
AMP suits and Robot Jox definitely my favourite
I didnt like other starship tooper movies after the first. the cgi seems to have been downgraded from the first and the storyline gets worse and worse.
agreed
Totally agree with the #1 choice. Overall, the climax of District 9 was one of the best in all sci-fi. But the best part was the complete transformation of Sharlto Copley's character Wikus fromm a milquetoast company man to a raging, avenging (almost literal) killing machine. Most actors require several films in order to demonstrate a range similar to Copley's, just an extraordinary bit of acting.
I'm just happy on of my fave child hood movies Robo Jocks got on here.
Gonna watch district 9 again this weekend thanks to this list :)
How'd it go
@@gipsy_3o3 loved it as if I just watched it for the first time.
Pacific rim, Matrix Revolutions and District 9 is the BEST
wasn't going to give it a like, but #1 was spot on. love the tech in this movie. so badass.
Thanks for including Robo Jocks. This oldie movie is rather funny, and it does a lot with a low budget and the special effects of its time. I recommend it even to you young sophisticates of the CG era.
So glad you included ROBOT JOX! Used to watch that movie and the classic Knight Rider series every weekend time. What about the mechs in Star Wars... too mainstream?
AsianGlow Good shout. Yeah the Scout Walkers in Return Of The Jedi were pretty nimble mechs. Like you, i enjoyed Knight Rider at 5.35 every Saturday evening. Star Wars is probably where the love started for me. Either that or the robots in the original Transformers animation series. Robotech made the genre cooler though i think.
The most practical suit being the one from district 9. Avatar mechs look like they can be taken down by AT weapon easily.
Avatar mechs weren't meant to fight a race with AT weapons, though. Even though this comment is a year old I still am dumb enough to reply.
And I'm dumb enough to leave a comment a year ago.
fml
SVAFnemesis lol
lol they forgot to strap machine guns
I love how he called the ka-jus when its kai-jus
thank you for including robot jox in this line up. its a bit corny but one of my fav movies from when i was a little kid. love to see a reboot of it. lol
Mecha Godzilla should have made the list
but still good job on the vid
the undead jester, is mecha Godzilla piloted? Because if not it wouldn’t have made the list
Mecha Godzilla is more of a massive robot not a mech. Nothing is actually piloting one.
the one with Tom cruise keeps repeating his life
This list is awesome. District 9 deserves to be number 1 that mech was very scientifically thought out
omg i still remember watching robot jox when i was a very small kid. that was my first robot movie. it's basically just like pacific rim but without kaiju.
I kind of like the Type D mech from the mini-series Dark Soldier D. A Russian power armor, stolen by the protagonist when the wall fell, and upgraded by a scientist he hires. Armed with both Russian and American heavy infantry weapons for the time, he used it to fight everything from an giant alien chicken to the Type C version.
I love Robot Jox. I was so happy to see it on this list. My #1 favourite movie.
Great collection, thanks. Remember about "Chappie" and one of the final bad guys, it was also worth looking at. Neil Blomkamp does know how to film mechs, he should do a Battletech/Mechwarrior movie.
bio-mech from District 9 is the best. This thing can decimate the whole crowd of soldiers just with one shot from chain-cannon, or machinegun.The rocket-system is able to destroy some area of buildings or hostile vehicles. It can even catch bullets by using kinetic-forcefield.
More importantly, this mech can be automated to execute commands by remote control!
The only flaw is: mech is bad against armor-pierce shells (like was from high-caliber sniper rifle in movie).
But still - this mech got awesome design, large amount of variative weapon systems. And high mobility.
I wish I could go back in time, and unwatch starship trooper 3. And unwatch #2 as well.
+aethertech Same here - pure stinkers...
Pacific rim is probably one of the most overrated fucking movie ever. I hated it.
If this video was released two months later in 2014, then I think the mech suits in 'Edge of Tomorrow' would have definitely earned a spot in this top 7.
Really glad you put Robot Jox in there, as that is one of the best giant robot/mech movies in history (yes, despite being dated and corny).
Rather disappointed that Starship Troopers 3 made it in there though, as the mechs were slow and clunky, the CGI was garbage (like the movie), and there was nothing particularly impressive about them.
I can't agree with District 9 getting the top slot either. It's cool, but easily forgettable.
Going into this, I thought, "They'd better make yeagres #1. Anything else would be ridiculous."
And then they came in at #2. When District 9 showed up, I said, "Are. You. Kidding me."
Actually, that District 9 mech looks pretty darn awesome. Points for the Vortex shield.
Some of the Jeager names weren't so good but there is one that is truly awesome, Cherno Alpha, That sounds soo badass!!!
virgilio moncada gypsy danger sounds like a stripper name lol
Yea plus striker eureka is so badass to
pacific rim is awesome litterally my favorite movie the second one just felt like a high budget spinoff
well, lots of these mechs have been inspired by gundam. by this I mean that gundam started the concept of humanoid mechas built as military devices, made for fighting other mechas : the "real robot" style.
Why the hell was Pacific Rim second. It should have been the first.
Because whereas a powerloader or a amp suit is somewhat feasible pacific rim is literally impossible, i love pacific rim but it’s completely ridiculous
Those are super robot territory
exactly
Should make a list of all the mecha in live action films and tv shows. Like to go with Robot Jox there was also Robot Wars and Robo Warrior. Also, how can you not include Star Wars?
Wow! Props for putting Robot Jox on there! Not many people have seen it, but it is my favorite mech movie.
Akkadian Empire at the beginning, made my day.
Thank you sci-fi film 7.
The simple fact you have Robot Jocks and Pacific Rim back to back deserves a thumbs up.
A gundam from gundam 01 and a standard zaku would be a good addition.
dude this video was amazing! you simply must make more!
should check out gunhed
Thanks to those of you who pointed out the Pacific Rim (2009) typo. Unfortunately, not much i can do about it now :(
How did pacific rim now make the first one? D:
JpiaPlaysMc | Road to 500 Subs! Personell preference I believe, but I dont care about such minor details anyway..
JpiaPlaysMc | Road to 500 Subs! Because the District 9 mech is way cooler. Great list of movies though... Reminds me when I watched Robot Jox on VHS with subtitles when I was young living in Poland still, ahh memories. Seemed so bad ass back then, can't imagine it was all just stop motion with tiny robots.
Radoslaw Zablocki Not even close .....
Sci-Film 7 why you all act like Titanfall is the only game that have mechs?
it's hardly even one of the good ones...
Armored Core, Mechwarrior 4 and Shogo? among other...
Personally I like the loader from Aliens, the mech from District 9, and the Pacific Rim mechs. Ive always LOVED Robot Jox, it has so much good script and acting and so much bad acting/script writing; but you just know those model animators put their heart into the movie. Theres a lot of other mechs movies around though.
Thank you for this, one day we may even have a Titanfall movie listed.
The mech in chappie is awesome!
You know what...all mechs are awesome!!!
I have to disagree with most of the list . ST3 was horrible and those "mechs" looked sad. Avatar should have been much higher on the list and Pacific Rim should have been number 1. Instead of ST3 I would have put the Iron Monger from Iron Man in it's place.
1. Pacific rim
2. Avatar
3. District 9
4. Robot jox
5 Matrix Revolutions
6. Iron Man
7. Aliens
That's how I think the list should have been, but this is just my viewpoint on the those movies.
the robots of avatar are ugly as fuck
+carso1500 So are the one's in the matrix -_-
I think iron mans armor should be number one on the list. Like the mark 6 or the hulk buster, or something like that. You know.
Well, when Battletech gets onto the big screen, then it would outpace everyone. It has powered armor, mechs, and mini-mecha of all kinds.
Then again, House Steiner and it's infamous Assault Scout Lance. :P
Only just seen the CGI title and I'm lurving this!!!
HYPERNAUTS! It was a tv show in the mid 90's!
Cody N I remember that show and was crushed when they canceled it.
8:46 what song is that?
Never seen robojocks but it seems like a film worthy of being reimagined in a modern way seems like an interesting workin that was ahead of it’s time
Pacific rim is just, a chef kiss
Remember going to see Robot Jox on its release !!! - I'd forgot all about that baby -
Thanks for sharing this great little doc. I
Totally agree. District Nine's mech is the bomb.
Nice bit of history that!
Good work! After waching this i know i could go home (europe-i'm american) and not be alone.
Thanks.
I remember when I saw matrix revolution the first time, those mechs got me so hype
absolutely agreed with the first place!
bro when I was watching avatar with the mech I legit thought about titanfall
ambers sucker punch mech.
rhino from the amazing spiderman.
technically animated but with CG instead of full lineart -
Appleseed (both films)
im sure i will remember more lol.
Blkarrow Rhino's was more of an exo suit, wasn't it?
Something that sets Titans apart from mechs is that they themselves are also self contained robots capable of fighting and functioning without a pilot controlling them. They're like giant robots with a neural link to their pilot that allows the two of them to work together as one being. Titans aren't mechs. More like advanced robots that protect the already exosuit wearing pilot.
#1 Disctric 9, Suit. yeah AGREED
Never even heard of Robot Jox before. Looks so Gundam
Holy shit! I remember watching Robot Jox as a kid, but could never remember the name. Everyone I ever asked didn't know either. "You know, the one with the giant fighting robots?" So glad I found this video and the name of that movie, I'll have to watch it again someday!
For motion picture reasoning, I found the order and choices pretty fair.
Avatar........SPACE TRAVEL....but they still have regular rifles and....knives. I would poop in Camerons popcorn for that! No joke. We already have lasers, particle beams, gauss stuff. Not really ADVANCED yet, but its the fucking FUTURE. Gawd.
The humans in the Avatar Universe are running low on energy, that's why they probably don't use laser guns
Holy shhh why am I barely seeing this video...rip titanfall
As a diehard Titanfall fan… I think I fell in love with Pacific Rim
I remember watching that part of matrix revolution
This feels like it's just a list of any exos in films.
i agree with the list. But not mentioned (small role it was anyway),but i liked the "Rhino" suit from The Amazing Spiderman
Really enjoyed this one. Subscribed!
Excellent list!
I know the District 9 I loved it :D
Nice final choice
District 9 was so very underrated. Hoping for a sequel still.
the Num.3 has been a movie i was looking for but had forgoten the god damn name! thank you!
I believe pacific rim had better bots as they also had plasma cannons but still could beat the others alone by stepping on them😆
GUNDAM WING and FRONT MISSION best mechs ever and did make it on movie screens but still in animated form
Missing Gunhed here. And most anime movies ;)
i like BT and Copper btw cuz its cool of the graphics
so im gonna go watch district 9 now
Awesome vid !
I love Titanfall and this movies look good
im not gonna lie, district 9 was a very interestingly good movie, and i completely forgot about it it years later. i also forgot about the Mech that can deflect bullets...good idea
Thyphoon is my fav robot on pacific rim
I remember watching robot jox with some buddies in college. Lol we actually thought it was actually pretty cool at the time.
4:18-4:25 One of the greatest stunts in movie history!!!
ok in starship troopers the novel the mi had power suits and were cool good list man :D
lol, title is 7 greatest, channel name is Sci-Film 7 and I watch this video in 7 years after upload. Lucky 7 :D
Very good! I'm Russian, but I liked the selection.
The thing is that the mechs from titan fall have a personality
dope list, props
the pig launcher is by far the best weapon ever made
