Yet Another Robot Video

Now that I've figured out how to get past the problems with embedding videos, I seem to be addicted to it.



At first glance, this video (from Panzer World Galient, which has no good resources so I won't bother linking any) doesn't seem that wacky. But let's think about what happens in it.
  1. The red robot (Galient?) sets up his big gun in his shield.
  2. He shoots the slag out of a bunch of robots without guns. (Some of them appeared to have missile launchers, but only one used his, and he was a terrible shot.) When I say "a bunch," I mean enough to conquer a Cold War era Eastern Block country in fifteen minutes.
  3. He puts down his gun and jousts with a giant centaur knight robot using wheels in his feet.
  4. Finding that, despite his superior redness giving him the advantage, he and the other guy are evenly matched in raw power, so he breaks off.
  5. He turns his sword into a whip and uses it to pull over the centaur knight robot and take away his lance.
  6. He cuts that bugger in half.

You can practically hear the badguys here saying "Why the *!@# does he have a gun when we don't?" "How is this fair?" "Run away!" "Mommy!"

Tip for the evil overlord types: If one or more of your enemies' giant robots has a gun, make sure yours do too.

Also, train your robots' pilots to cheat when fighting. The big centaur knight could have thrown his shield in the red robot's face to stun or distract him, but instead he met with the same fate that anyone who opposes Wolverine does, bisected down the middle.

And this kind of stuff seems to be typical for the series:

Man, that red robot has them totally outnumbered.

Also, why the heck is the series called "Panzer World Galient?" I see neither panthers or Third Reich battle tanks.
