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
