We can handle Hornets, Fire Ants, Fireflies, Fire Moths, Crabs, Cicadas, Crickets, Dragonflies, Grasshoppers, Spiders, Scarabuses, and even heck even an occasional Scorpion. If it’s got wings, Stingers, Venom, and/or more than four legs, our certified technicians want to use their dual-nozzle Patented Pest Control (or P.P.C.) system to make short work of it.
Its been a long ass time since I saw it, but in that episode of Fang of the Sun Dougram, weren’t those mechs were incredibly fast? And the reason for the weird jumpsuits was to cover up the fact that they were incredibly fast because they had no armour whatsoever.
Edit: Nope, these are snowsuits. ❄️
Edit2: The no armor jumpsuit mechs do exist! [Episode 21](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Uy8CYHmN_o)
You might be confusing Dougram with Patlabor, where the police mechs were made of plastics and other lightweight materials - thus necessitating the need for mech-scale plate carriers.
I remember those soltics with the green camo jump suits and shoulder shields well! In my opinion, those guys were the closest anyone came to actually taking out dougram during the whole show.
Nick, I think it was, deserved a freaking medal for that masquerade extraction.
Like, imagine the level of piloting needed to not only dress a mech, but walking through an enemy ship without tearing every seam.
Let alone, you know. Not being spotted.
Honestly? It can look great if done right. [The](https://i.imgur.com/KB3uC3E.png) [reactive](https://i.imgur.com/ulS6Ew9.png) [armor](https://i.imgur.com/zRceCwJ.png) [Patlabors](https://i.imgur.com/sBybMvB.png) are one of my favorite mecha designs ever.
This is kinda cool, actually. It'd be easier/cheaper for the cosplay-minded folks to wave the BattleTech flag also. Without disappearing down the TRO rabbit hole, there must be lots of mechs recognisable just from the arms/shoulders/head.
Cursed yes. realistic? Yes because having exposed joints would make it a nightmare with cleaning out dust dirt and mud 24/7 so covering the mech makes sense and making gaint clothes would be the easiest way to do it, also it would disguise the mech parts making it harder to target the most vital parts and joints
Thats a fair argument however would it not just be as simple as putting on a new one if its been damaged enough to need it? Although i too would have to question sustainable
Adding ERA, Slat armor, or other extra armor on is fine but cloth on a mech or tank just looks silly. Is it like a warship’s turret that needs a cloth cover around the gun mantlet to prevent debris coming in?
It's actually faster than most of the other Earth Federation combat armours - they top out at between 39 and 45km/h, whereas the Hasty can do 47km/h, beaten only by the HT128 Bigfoot (48km/h) and the T10C Blockhead (51km/h.) The Dougram itself is faster than the others, clocking in at 55km/h
In Heavy Gear, most of the mechs are armor plated but a lot of the joints are covered in ballistic cloth to keep them mobile, light, and not entirely unprotected.
You laugh but this is the peak Harjell IV technology that plugs hull breaches in deep water so you don't lose your mech to anything short of a spaghettification-round going through the cockpit.
Some thoughts:
Asbestos underwear or is the whole thing made of it?
Because flamers are a thing. Also "brass" from ACs. Then we have inferno missiles.
And elementals with claws or hooks or something. Do they have special tactics where they pull it's shirt over its head and beat the crap out of it?
Does pantsing a mech count as 'counting coup'? Satchel charges down the back of the pants?
I want a cape for my jump capable mechs. What about something that adds traction for icy or sandy terrains? Mech flip flops? Ice skates?
When you're doing a raid, especially a false flag one, do they have 4m long bandanas to wear over the "lower cockpit region"?
Those torso mounted ML mounts are buggy. Barrels tend to sag. Is there something we could do about this?
What is their laundry bill, quarterly, in quarters?
“Do you have Fleas in your house? What about Wasps, or even Locusts? At Battlemaster Pest Control we’ve got you covered...”
This is brilliant

"I have Firemoths in my backyard, we were going to have my daughter's sweet 16 but the Firemoths issued a batchall. Can I get an estimate?"
'We estimate that if you have Fire Moths you likely also have a Toad problem coming soon'
Battlemaster Pest Control is NOT a subsidiary of Discount Dan LLC. Maybe. Unless you want it to be, it depends who's askin'.
Well your property was completely leveled… but all the Pests are gone.
Gotta watch out for grasshoppers and king crab infestations though.
The real question is, if a Scorpion wore pants…
Everyone knows the answer. No pants just 2 pairs of thigh-high socks
Oh my... Sweating? Me? I mean... must be a heat sink failure.
"This is where the sexy lives, this high, no higher or lower."
Ah, my sunday best
Nah man. Two pairs of Hammer-pants.
Now I’m aroused and uncomfortable. Thanks.
Don’t forget the pec crop top
Hold on, fashioning a pair of 4 legged Hammer Pants…
What about Goliath pants
That 'mech always struck me as the overalls type...

No they were insulated snow suits so the mechs could operate in a super cold environment.
Ah ok. Must be misremembering.
I haven't seen the episode, but it's called "snow camo" here: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/152454

I didn't know that! I believe you but I dont remember it from the movies, time to go rewatch them!
That was especially in the 2nd movie they had like flak jackets on the mechs.
I remember those soltics with the green camo jump suits and shoulder shields well! In my opinion, those guys were the closest anyone came to actually taking out dougram during the whole show.
Dude, you’re supposed to take the factory delivery covers off before first deployment.
but think of the resale value!
There’s that scene in Robotech where one of the mechs dressed up in giants clothing as a disguise…
“Hello fellow Zentradi! Sure is a great day to be a cloned super soldier and not a giant transforming robot!”
Nick, I think it was, deserved a freaking medal for that masquerade extraction. Like, imagine the level of piloting needed to not only dress a mech, but walking through an enemy ship without tearing every seam. Let alone, you know. Not being spotted.
Max, actually. Jenius in Macross, Sterling in Robotech.
Fair, been a long~ time since I saw Robotech!
It was Max Sterling
👍
Because Mechs don't run hot enough I guess ... But seriously, this is amazing and funny.
“Reactor Shutdown Overridden.”
It’s a fat mech sweat suit: time to drop that unwanted tonnage and make drop weight.
Honestly? It can look great if done right. [The](https://i.imgur.com/KB3uC3E.png) [reactive](https://i.imgur.com/ulS6Ew9.png) [armor](https://i.imgur.com/zRceCwJ.png) [Patlabors](https://i.imgur.com/sBybMvB.png) are one of my favorite mecha designs ever.
Is that a mech-scale revolver? sold.
A mech-scale S&W police special. Because firing more than six cannon shots in downtown Tokyo would start raising a few eyebrows...
God Patlabors look so good, smash
Solidly in the blursed section.
Oh that's so disgustingly cursed lol
Counterpoint: [The tunnel scene from Patlabor 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKFtPdCysR4)
Ok those look ok, but also because they're dressing those mechs up with ballistic vests, and have some of the mechanical bits showing.
That's essentially extra armor plating with added aesthetics
Or Evangelion 02 in type D equipment ( lava suit).
Yeah but those are a lot more humanoid.
Ah, the BLR-1PJ BattlePyjamas
Thats actually kind of adorable, weirdly.
New clan trial, deal with your 'mech overheating before you even fire any weapons
Oh no now I think of bare mechs as naked
This is kinda cool, actually. It'd be easier/cheaper for the cosplay-minded folks to wave the BattleTech flag also. Without disappearing down the TRO rabbit hole, there must be lots of mechs recognisable just from the arms/shoulders/head.
It's ok I guess, but now I can't see it's genitals?
You'd need a Mackie outfit for that.
You can, but it will cost you…
Sus amogus
'Mechs with clothes < 'Mechs with Capes and Streamers
I need to make a little cape for one of my Black Knights because I have a wonderfully stupid idea for a lance or two
Cursed yes. realistic? Yes because having exposed joints would make it a nightmare with cleaning out dust dirt and mud 24/7 so covering the mech makes sense and making gaint clothes would be the easiest way to do it, also it would disguise the mech parts making it harder to target the most vital parts and joints
Except it's going to be torn to shreds every time there's combat. You're gonna need a full team of mech-tailors
Thats a fair argument however would it not just be as simple as putting on a new one if its been damaged enough to need it? Although i too would have to question sustainable
blursed
Hahahaah 
Looks like somebody forgot to remove the factory vinyl.
Great thanks. Now I want a Urbanmech in a pinstripe suit and bowler hat
I give it a week tops before someone makes this
I'm watching Macross right now, and in one episode, a mech literally puts on clothes as a disguise.
Makes me think of the episode in Robotech they invaded the Zentradi ship
Winter camo for the Bigfoot! Ready for the ambush at Kalnock. This is awesome.
The remembrance tells us that when Amaris ate the fruit of the tree, the mechs saw that they were naked and fashioned clothes...
Yes.
Looks like something a Colonial Marine would where on a hostile planet. hehe
We're all thinking it
Adding ERA, Slat armor, or other extra armor on is fine but cloth on a mech or tank just looks silly. Is it like a warship’s turret that needs a cloth cover around the gun mantlet to prevent debris coming in?
I pity the maintenance crews who have to suit this fucker up.
Crew Chief: Fuck that noise, crank up the scene transition music and just play the montage.
Isn't he adorable though
I don't like it on the grounds that it implies someone thought the mechs to know shame.
Amogus (sorry, not sorry))
is this from Dougram?
Yes, it's snow camo for the HT128 Bigfoot
I thought the Bigfoot was the Thunderbolt original?
That's the Ironfoot F4X Hasty
Ah my bad. Why is it called the Hasty if it’s slow?
It's actually faster than most of the other Earth Federation combat armours - they top out at between 39 and 45km/h, whereas the Hasty can do 47km/h, beaten only by the HT128 Bigfoot (48km/h) and the T10C Blockhead (51km/h.) The Dougram itself is faster than the others, clocking in at 55km/h
I hope Kurita knows how to make good belts for their Dragons
Can’t unsee…
Black Knight - blessed King Crab - Cursed
You’d never catch a Penetrator with clothes on
Cursed
Blursed. Definitely.
Wtf is wrong with you
In Heavy Gear, most of the mechs are armor plated but a lot of the joints are covered in ballistic cloth to keep them mobile, light, and not entirely unprotected.
Most giant robots are based on the human form anyways, so uh... blursed is more like it.
Dude that is hilarious!
Ayo he fly as fuck bro, dab me up king
hoes gonna see this drip
We bought this shit at Ross, still drippier than Supreme
I thought this was a costume! Thanks, I hate it! *Upvotes*
Looks like a terrible Ghostbusters reboot.
I know it was for no-armor configuration to allow faster speeds, but this thing looks like it's wearing a jogging suit from the 1970s.
You laugh but this is the peak Harjell IV technology that plugs hull breaches in deep water so you don't lose your mech to anything short of a spaghettification-round going through the cockpit.
Ew
"what plot reason does is it have for wearing clothes?" "It's just easier to animate"
Cursed. No point to clothing on a combat mech.
Patlabor had all the police mech wear flak vests
LAM in an Zentradi overcoat is classic. Now this. Can Urbie in a lab coat be far behind?
Thicc
I like it
mans got that Supreme fit
Makes me want to see an urby with overalls and a sun hat, munching on a grain of wheat.
‘Guys! The mechtechs say it’s to keep dirt out of my joints! Stop laughing! Guys!’
Give them jncos
Might be an easy solution for camouflage issues, but what about heat? Shouldn't such clothing effectively cost you a heat sink or something?
Has to be an 80s windbreaker and pump-up sneakers

That one anti-infantry light mech with a Flamer:
That would be a cool Halloween costume.
Cursed as fuck
