      That's my favorite robot in a movie ever. I think what really nailed it for me was the sound effects and its voice - particularly when it was angry.

        I used to imitate ED-209's walk as a little kid and use my tucked in forearms as autocannons.

        I think that helped me get into MechWarrior 2 later.

          Need a car mod that goes

          "Reactor online

          Sensors online

          Weapons online

          All systems nominal"

          Whenever I start my car

            That's some treat enjoyment slop I could totally get into, especially if the music player had some tracks like this built right in:

                Oh yeah, Mechwarrior 5 Clans comes out in about a week!

                You have to play as Clan Smoke Jaguar, but oh well. That's just about my least favorite Clan. Hell's Horses ftw.

                    I liked how being a Merc let me kinda role-play as a Robin Hood style. Mining settlement getting harassed by their bosses? Yeah ill take the pay cut to defend the space proletariat
