Chapter 1080 [Amazing Mecha]
For example, Chinese kung fu such as over-the-shoulder falls, flying legs, and thundercloud formations that Chinese mecha are good at; The attacks of American mechs are infused with mixed martial arts; Russian mechs are good at "don't coward, just do it" wrestling and scuffle; Australian mechs are improved for boxing and more.
In terms of the final parameter setting, Storm Red also has a very unique embodiment.
Speed: 9
Energy: 8
Armor: 6
Number of enemies destroyed: 7 chrysanthemum beasts
From the official set values, it is easy to see that the speed and energy of Storm Crimson are at the forefront of all mechas.
However, the defense of the armor layer is obviously a bit insufficient, and the position of the cockpit is relatively vulnerable to attack, which is also a common problem of speed mechs.
The number of "Kaiju Beasts" destroyed by each mecha is also recorded in detail.
Moreover, the "number of enemies destroyed" will be engraved on the chest or abdomen of the mecha as the record of the mecha, which is used to visually show the honor of each hunter mecha.
Just like in World War II, the German tank commander Michel Wittmann drove the "Tiger" tank to annihilate the number of Allied tanks, which would be engraved on the barrel.
For each successful kill, a mark is carved into the barrel of the cannon to show off as a personal achievement.
Storm Crimson destroyed a total of 7 Kaiju Beasts, second only to the Australian mecha "Eureka Raider" in the number of enemies, and made a great contribution to the protection of humanity.
Of course, this is not all shown in the movie, which only shows a few of the Hunter Mechs fighting the enemy for a short time.
Design ideas......
"Storm Crimson" is a crimson mecha, affectionately called "Little Red" by Chinese netizens, this mecha has a relatively beautiful appearance, a bit like EVA born from the combination of biological machinery.
And on the whole, it is more like the shockwave in "Transformers", which is a big one-eyed shape.
Its body is the lightest of all mechas, and it has excellent hand-to-hand combat performance and speed.
The right arm is a large-caliber electromagnetic energy firepower gun, which belongs to the fire support type, and the left arm can be rotated with two fists and wrists, similar to a rotating flywheel like "Hot Wheels".
Similar to the principle of heavy drilling rigs, it has a strong armor-piercing ability.
"Little Red" mainly emphasizes flexibility, and incorporates the setting of Chinese martial arts, with low armor resulting in average hand-to-hand combat performance, but high technical and tactical ability, and three-person driving can highlight its combat effectiveness.
Storm Crimson is also the only fourth-generation product among all 31 mechas, which is more advanced than the third-generation mecha of the United States Emperor, and only slightly inferior to the fifth-generation mecha in Australia.
It entered service from 2018 until the cancellation of the MechHunter program in 2025.
In the past seven years, Storm Crimson has successfully defended Hong Kong and survived intact, which can be called the most capable hunter mecha.
In addition to these more accurate data, Xingfeng also collected some tidbits and small news.
For example, when Storm Crimson was originally designed, the action style came from the American BC and BA middleweight champion Mayweather Jr., and the fighting style was naturally integrated into Chinese kung fu.
Another example is the original Storm Crimson design, which is different from what it looks like in the movie.
The original setting was originally four arms, based on the multi-armed element of the eight-armed Nezha in Chinese mythology, reflecting a special fighting style.
But there are too few Chinese quadruplets, and it is too difficult for the brains to be synchronized without quadruplets, so in the end, they can only change their left arm into an electromagnetic cannon and turn it into a three-arm mecha.
"Xiaohong" plays a good soy sauce in the movie!
There are not many battles on the screen, and after revealing the Chinese kung fu "thundercloud formation" with a hand mark, he was killed in seconds by the tailed rat and the prism-backed turtle in the battle.
In the original official setting, Storm Crimson was the director's daughter's favorite one, so many wonderful scenes were designed.
Second only to the United States and Australia!
But later, due to the problem of capital and budget, there was no way to design too many combat special effects, and the director had no choice but to cut off a large part of them.
Because of this incident, the director also apologized to the Chinese audience for this.
Since in the setting of the movie, the mecha pilot is driven by multiple people, and the drivers must achieve "human and god unity", and the brains are linked to each other, sharing memories and consciousness together, and achieving synchronization and consistency of action.
Therefore, the coordination between the pilot and the mecha, the action of the mecha and the battle scene are very realistic.
The audience can intuitively feel that it belongs to the kind of giant mecha that it should have, like a heavy shock of a mountain moving.
……
Xingfeng recalled various battle data and followed General Stark into the base.
Raleigh, who was carrying a large travel bag, walked in and looked around, and soon noticed the mechanical clock above the door, which was counting down to the second.
"It's the battle clock, and every time the monster attacks the time, it starts counting down again."
General Stark's pace did not stop, and he continued to explain as he walked forward: "Always remind everyone here that monster attacks are becoming more and more frequent, and the end of humanity is rapidly approaching. ”
Xingfeng and Mazi walked side by side behind the general, glanced at the countdown clock and asked, "General, when will the next monster attack come?" ”
"The more optimistic time should be a week later, but experts say it is very likely to happen sooner."
Hearing General Stark's answer, Raleigh trotted a few steps to follow, and asked, "Monster time is getting faster and faster, how many hunter mechs are left in this base now?" ”
"This base can hold 30 mechs, docked in five storage slots like this, ready to attack the monsters, but now there are only four left."
Although there have only been 31 hunter mechs in the entire world that have participated in battles, General Steck's words are not wrong.
The Hong Kong base is different from other bases, as the only mecha base in China, it has the only Horizon Warrior Hunter mecha that can achieve mass production, and it is normal for the hangar to have a larger capacity.
"I didn't expect it to be so bad."
It has been five years since Raleigh left PPDC, and his knowledge of the Hunter Mecha is outdated, and he didn't expect the loss of the Hunter Mecha to be so serious.
Just when the group came to Storm Crimson, Raleigh looked at the mecha with these three arms in front of him and a dark red body, and asked curiously: "This mecha is a little strange, why haven't I seen it?" ”
"This is the Storm Crimson produced in China, one of the world's top hunter mechas."
General Stark explained as he walked forward: "The production site is in Changzhou, the core is pure titanium, not an alloy, and each power band is powered by 50 diesel engines, which is a powerful weapon on the battlefield.
It was piloted by the Chinese Wei brothers, the triplets who fought together, they had fought seven times and successfully defended the port of Hong Kong, and their trick was a thunderstorm cloud, but the three brothers liked to call it the thundercloud formation, a trick in Chinese kung fu. ”
"See, the three-arm technique, it sounds pretty good."
Raleigh glanced at the open space below the mecha, practicing basketball to enhance synchronization, the three Wei brothers in red training uniforms, followed General Stark to continue walking, and saw a strange mecha with an "iron bucket" on its head, which looked very bulky overall.
