"MAXes have a melee attack" - Page 3

You know a melee equipped MAX would be kind of cool for door breaches and small room fighting.

The only way I could see a melee MAX working is if it had a 'charge' type attack. This would really help when it comes to blocked backdoors in heavily defended bases.

Believe it or not I was going to suggest the same thing! A 'heavy' cumbersome slow but powerful swing to instagib would be really good

I need the Gundam Theme Song right now cranked up all the way while I'm in the MAX

One of the good Gundams, I hope!

I would like to know the intended usage of the max melee. I think it makes sense, but from a practical gameplay perspective what is the value?

One concern I have is d-bags charging their maxes at the enemy and getting right up on them to melee, giving friendlies all sorts of grief for hitting the max when the max could simply shoot the target at range. But because it has the melee attack they are encouraged to use tactics that grief other players on their team.

Now this is why I think melee attacks are good for maxes. No more dancing around my blind side. I just grab you now and tear you apart!!!

Only the originals.

Although I may yell this as I charge

needs to be a emote and a instagib ability like pyros hadukin in TF2

G Gundam is fine - I would have accepted anything U.C. and/or pre-SEED.

Being a trans-human newtype guy that wears weird stuff and pilots weird stuff, I think he's more of a Vanu type.

Ya, and seeing how our MAX already looks like it had a giant finger it just seems to fit better. Shining finger + 1000 years of pain with that MAX suit? Watch out!

The TR is red though....Although the Zeong was purple....But the Sazabi was red! In a few ways I think the TR fit close to his style and ideals but the TR is based on Earth so I guess he does fit with VS a bit more...

Does this mean the VS are going to get Psychoframe Mechs with Funnels?

give a giant chainsaw to TR and a improvised buzz saw to NCR. it would be badass.

The TR are the Earth Federation. Sending wave after wave of expendable GMs until mission parameters are met, or the supply of GMs is exhausted. Now, what could be more TR than that?

Also, please don't use the word "funnels", even if it's canon. ;<

This is now an official Gundam thread, isn't it?
