The Raven RepublicOver at the forums, R.Leonhardt just shared with us two fantastic stop-motion videos of his collection in action.
One more vid after the cut:
A brand spankin’ new trailer for the upcoming Front Mission Evolved has been floating around, which give an insight into the story and details have emerged on FME’s multiplayer game mode titled “Domination”. The brief background of the story from Siliconera:
In the future, the world is a changed place. Technology has advanced. Countries have merged into massive geopolitical blocks. But one thing, sadly, remains the same – humanity’s appetite for war. When a terrorist attack destroys one of the U.C.S.’s prized orbital elevators, the military is mobilised to eliminate the threat.
Dylan Ramsey, a young engineer, finds himself quickly caught in a swirl of destruction, conspiracies and crumbling alliances. Experience his story in this high-octane third-person shooter.
Its hard not to see similarities between Astro Plan and the popular series Macross. It has a cool looking poster though. No news if this is a game or an animation production of some sort. A short video clip of what to expect and a shot of the cast after the jump:
What we have here is an awesome short fan video about giant alien robots invading the city of Montevideo located in Uruguay. Rumor has it that the creators of the video have been contracted by Mandate Pictures to give them $1 million to direct a $30 million film on the basis of this video which reportedly only cost $500 to make. Directorial and actor management aside, there is no doubt to the quality of special effects used in the video are nothing short of awesome especially considering the budget and robot action involved. Enjoy!

No, not the upcoming PSP game, but maybe one day if they’ll scale this up this will be way better. Filmed from the International Robot Exhibition 2009 in Japan.

Because everyone digs giant robots.
Ok, I know I’ve been slow. Not covering Silent Line Portable‘s JP release was already a sign and missing last week’s Random Mecha Video of the day/week was another. So to make it all up for the lack of Random Mecha Videos and content, I present a massive collection of Mecha Anime openings from 1960’s till 2008. This is not my work, but it has been floating around an would at least interest anyone who has played SRW and asked “Where the hell did this robot come from?”. You’ll see it all, from icons like Tetsujin 28 (including the re-makes and re-imaginations), Mazinger-Z, various Macross and Gundam titles, to obscure super-robot titles such as Chogattai Majutsu Robo Gingaizer (Super Combining Magical Power Robo Gingaizer). It’s 7-8 hours of awesomeness and mecha history. The download links after the jump.
Okay, to make up for being half-assed in posting front page content I’m posting 2 videos for this weeks Random Mecha Video(s). This first one is from a live action movie Gunhed released during the 1980s, and it certainly looks something out of the set of Aliens. While the mech itself spends much of its time rolling, its good to see it actually blow stuff up. Second random mecha video after the jump.
We finally got an official Youtube account for Raven Republic, where we will feature various AC fights from all over the world. We will feature great fights, AC glitches, and various things that may or may not interest the AC player.
PACT videos will eventually be transferred here as soon as the opportunity arises, but for now everyone gets AC videos from Japan. Come visit our channel in Youtube.
