Comment on Wolves -unit colors by shinsengumi77
Thanks! 
I don't have a specific height in mind, and all classes (scout, infantry, heavy infantry, missileer, cavalry, and special cavalry) are somewhat different in stature. I'd say maybe 40 to 50 meters or so, give or take. A slightly earlier sketch of Hiro's unit shows approximate height relative to a person: [link]

40 to 50 meters?! That ENORMOUS!!! Unless they have some kind of anti-grav system going, they're liable to be pulled down and crushed under their own weight. In space, however, is a different story. I hope I didn't ruin it for you, that's not my intent. I just like physics.
Most of my mecha are shrimps in comparison to yours and most giant robots, being 3 to 5 meters tall. They may not be weighed down by gravity, but you can't terrorize a city with them as easily, so there are downsides to everything.

lol man, if I had a dollar for every time someone tried to use physics to reason for the impossibility of my fictional machines...I could quit my job. 
I'm well-versed in physics, but that's where fiction comes to my aid!
Seriously though, I know they're overly huge, but there are various reasons for it, one of them being due to the need for larger payloads (the original mecha in the story -from about 40 years ago- were about 3 meters high, more along the lines of a powered suit of some kind), and in my story they are supported by various systems and hugely different metals than on Earth. Definitely not for terrorizing cities all godzilla-like. There was only one major incident where they were used in a metropolitan area, but it was just a desperate attempt to cover something up, not part of any intended assault.
...They do not have lambda drivers, but unlike the Behemoth from FMP they will not collapse under their own weight (if that was perhaps a reference you were making?).

Yeah I hate to be an asshole about it, so why don't you just pretend I didn't say anything? Your art rocks, physics or no physics I love your designs, so keep it up.
Oh no, you weren't like that at all, I was just being melodramatic Thank you for the compliments; I will try to improve on my stuff
