Mechanista in G Ep. 262: Warframes (Part 1?)

By Six Dettmar May 30, 20241152 views

A promise unforgotten. It was a bit of work, and it’s a bit clunky, but we are here to talk about warframes as promised. The designs themselves are of course very cool, but they also prompt a difficult question: if mecha don’t have to be big, and they can be organic, where is the line drawn? Is a warframe a mecha? Is a person being possessed a mecha? But in truth this is pedantry: we know a mecha when we see one, and it’s as simple as that. Warframes aren’t mecha. But they ARE dope.
