You'd beat Tex in presentation. He'd kill you with his voice. Both your sound editors/editing skills are going to be cheering together with one banner saying "win" without saying who's supposed to win. That's an image I see as you sit in a Gear staring up Texs (whatever mech he recently talked about). As of the time of this comment it Tex would have an Urbie so... Chances are quite nice for both of you. Good luck!
I love heavy gear mechs, they're as close as you get to being semi-credible mechs in a sci-fi setting. And they're cheap, so all your badlands friends can get their hands on a Anoleis and have fun throwing rockets at city folks.
If you're interested in more Heavy Gear stuff in the meantime, drivethrurpg has some kind of deal with Dream Pod 9 that allows them to give away the Heavy Gear Blitz 3.1 Corebook free as a PDF. So if you want an introduction to the game, the lore, or both, I *highly* recommend you check it out. www.drivethrurpg.com/product_info.php?products_id=395804 (3.1 Corebook, includes other stuff with it)
I love how they feel a need to compare themselves to other mechs. Guees being based on VOTOMS (which are VERY squishy by mech standards) does that to ya
LOL well, they are squishy by mech standars because mech standards are ridiculous. VOTOMS and Gears are both more realistic in their damage capacity. The idea that a battlemech can stand there and need more than one heavy Gauss round to make go boom boom is kind of silly. Either the armor has a buff or the weapons are nerfed. Take your pick. And as I recall Hercs weren't that much better than Gears. Which is not to say I have a problem with any of these universes. Its just big mechs would get zapped from orbit. Feel the same about the Gundam universes. They're all too damned big. Hercs/VOTOMS are about as big as you could get away with.
I figure any nation that can afford to give out Warhammers & Nukes to it's servicemen can afford an OmniPod or two I tell you what. I saw that ad for 1 800 Van Zandt
@@MacsLore first off, them their nucleear munitions we took on payday loan through Discount Dan. Ask for warhammers, I wish. All I got is this used urbanmech I won on scratchers at Uncle Buckies. Damn thing still had bees in the cockpit.
@@milsurp.mephostophiles4485 the last time a friend of mine bought an urbanmech it had a jet pack add-on from discount Dan it crashed after a few minutes of flight. Well, that was a success.
I remeber playin the first game, had a pretty cool intro. Tried to play the second game but it never ran on my system because the version I got was made to be sold with a specific computer or something and wouldn't start without it. Anyway if you want to make a lore video about this series, please do. Would be fun to remember.
Hell, lets throw the armored units from Deserts of Kharak for good measure! If you're gonna have a brawl have a brawl LOL And to be honest their wheeled and tracked vehicles are bigger than gears. Hell a Base Runner could crush the average gear. Watch the opening sequence where Rachel S'Jet's Base runner rolls past the "light" attack vehicle. Which seems to have a 120mm machine gun LOL
Hey, kriff you, energy shields are still king even if they're magic made by witches! Anyhow, awesome work here, even if I'm not that well versed on Heavy Gear. That never got into me compared to other mecha storylines then and now.
Oh come on, Heavy Gear is the shit, there is like 6 to 8 main factions, and countless other factions in the lore in the badlands. Not to mention the Earth forces that invade. That is a funny plug for that religious northern faction lmao. Oh man, back in the day it took forever to download those patches using dial up just so the game was playable on the computer, and still crashed randomly, but that game was the shit next to Wing Commander 3 and 4, and Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries, Heavy Gear II and the recent attempted reboots not so much though.
It's so strange, apparently there's a TON of Heavy Gear lore hiding... somewhere. I only learned about it because I was very interested in the failed attempt at a new video game years ago. Blitz is neat but it doesn't come across as something with as much history as the franchise apparently has.
I recently got into the Tabletop wargame and that was my thought as well. But they just did a huge update on the lore books. On RPG drive thru, of you want some lore books. Plus they just announced a Kickstarter for the 4th Ed RPG game.
@@BeatonArmaments Yeah, I did see the RPG announcement, apparently some people liked it quite a bit as an RPG which is more than we can say of most of BattleTech's attempts
Drivethrurpg has some kind of agreement with Dream Pod 9 to give away the PDF Version of the Heavy Gear Blitz 3.1 Corebook. It includes a bunch of the lore for each faction, including the other colony worlds outside of Terra Nova. And it's the current version until 4 comes out. www.drivethrurpg.com/product_info.php?products_id=395804
DP9 released Heavy Gear Revitalized, which is a rerelease in original quality of the old RPG books. Would recommend the Life on Terra Nova books, they give a great overview of the setting, down the individual cities in all of the leagues.
You think Tex pilots anything with OMNI tech on it? First, uncalled for. Second, we both know he'd pilot an Awesome. No OMNI-tech there, What you think he's part of the clans?
I want to see a growl-off between you and Tex.
Are you insane?! He'd kill my ass in something like that.
@@MacsLore No Guts, No Galaxy

I'm with you at throwing rockets at city folks. Metal bottled water indeed.
I feel like this could be a commercial in the world of Heavy Gear.
The Southern Republic and Paxton Arms also helped tell the Earthers to piss off and that we like our Tim Hortons. Nice ad.
They fought well alongside us in the North to keep our holy poutine away from those got-dang Earthers.
i do want heavy gear lore
its hard to confirm the series even existed let alone any details about it
My wife recently got into Heavy Gear and was baffled to find almost nothing online about it. So she decided to start making a in-depth wiki about it.
@@BeatonArmaments wiki address?
Meanwhile my wife is happily playing Beast and Bumpkins. haha, if only I can convince her to play Heavy Gear 2!!
Calling out the black pants legion 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The NORTH shall rise again!!
I feel a Batchall coming on...
Terra Novans: "Welcome to Terra Nova m*********er! You came a long way to die."
I like the playful jab at Blackpants legion.
YOOOO a Heavy Gear AND Earth Seige reference? Nice!
The Hunter flipping off Earth is the best thing
Why need omni-pods when you have HANDS. Good work as always. Love more Heavy Gear content.

I can't send you the direct link, but, DP9 had a free e-zine called Aurora The Silhouette that had all kinds of in universe lore, fiction, etc.
We need to show Tex of the BlackPantsLegeon this.
Since his pic was in it, he may have been in on it!

The greater the risk of death, the more manly it is.

ROFLOL!!!! Mac, that was AWESOME!!!!
Love that you poked at Starseige and Tex LOL
Us folk out on Van Zandt can't afford yer highfalutin omnipods. Hell, I don't think most of us could even spell it.

😂😂😂
You are doing gods work son!!
Bringing back all these old memories!
Please do find some lore on ultima and strike commander too!🤩
I'm thinking less "southern" and more Old West, which works considering Sam Elliott is Californian.
How much more cultured can you get?

They recently made some repacks for both the games, to get them to run on new hardware. Look it up, they're great!
Appreciate ya including me in there xD
Perhaps Target & Wal-Mart will duke it out their inventory for the last keymaker.
Looks like a multi-verse of mechs games is converging

as a WFP commander, I feel this.
Now this guy Norths.
Holy shit this was fantastic. I don't know who the fuck you are but you can have my like, my comment and my subscribe.
Perfect in every way.
And this my friends, this is what "Frustration with trying to get things to work so just FUCK IT" looks like xD
Yes.
I love this. I can't help but laugh like a giggling idiot.
This is perfection, Heavy Gear rules.
This is beautiful
Nicely done.
Hey, kriff you, energy shields are still king even if they're magic made by witches!
Anyhow, awesome work here, even if I'm not that well versed on Heavy Gear. That never got into me compared to other mecha storylines then and now.
I love it, got real borderlands vibes 🤣
There are similarities. Terra Nova is mostly desert. Not as extreme as Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak, but, still pretty Borderlands like.
Excellent!
The UMF approves this message. Would you like to know more?
First, haha good stuff Mac!

I am sold. Where do I buy one?
I'm an NLC Player through and through (Tabletop, nerds).
You got to get some better animation though. This is like SRA propaganda.
