Battletech/Mechwarrior vs Gundam is kind of an interesting proposition because they grew up in slightly different but related scifi milieus, and each made different decisions about what to do semi-realistically and where to sacrifice realism for the sake of cool robots.

Your basic Zaku is like the size and durability of an Assault Mech with the speed and maneuverability of a Light Mech, but only armed with something like an AC10 and a melee weapon in Battletech terms.

On land it would be terrifying, but Battletech space fighters are on a whole other level, basically Valkyries from Macross (sometimes literally).

On the non-mech side, Battletech has infantry in powered armor and tanks with lasers or PPCs, while Gundam ground troops, even decades after the One Year War, mostly use gear that wouldn’t look out of place in the Vietnam War, or even WWII.

Gundam spaceships tend to primarily rely on ECM, decoys, and point-defense guns to survive, and die in just a couple hits from each others’ weaponry, while Dropships and Warships in Battletech are balls of armor with engines on the bottom.

the chain of events in this minute and a half clip is so extremely delightful and funny

[ankle-beez]

kermit and scooter riffing on how their physicality doesn't let them open the envelope to announce the winner. the audience immediately cracking up when it cuts to statler and waldorf because they know what the bit is gonna be. jim henson slipping into the kermit voice accidentally before bouncing back at record speed and riffing on it. richard hunt genuinely laughing at jim's joke but doing so in-character. prime muppets was something else man
