Mechwarrior Pompeii

[EdwardStarsmith]

Auf is considered by many to do the best music mecha videos. I certainly don't know of any better. And this one is considered by many to be his best work. I know of one I happen to like better, but I don't have permission to post it to YouTube.

I may post it anyway, even though I would have to dig it up first.

I miss strapping into a multi-ton nuclear powered war beast and taking those long walks. Those were good days. (aka IronWarrior)

[orkkilla5589]

why did I see macross and armored core 3 in there!?

[KodyFurlong]

Nice vid, I really like the song used. What song and group is it?

[VazzaPrime]

This video is fucking shit!

[triggeraddict]

Have AUF been a long time buddy its xzer0 get me on msn!

[Revan852]

This song *-* .... awesome. What is it ?? Does anyone know a name ??

[manodeldios666]

the world needs to remember this...Mark my words Aufklarung, all the world will know your name...and have trouble pronouncing it

[frogjedi4]

My god this video is ancient I have it on my computer than hasn't been connected to the internet in five years!

[deathlordmetalgod]

I will not rest until this thing gets a million views.

advertising superpowers...GO!

[Flemr12]

Good video.

[deathlordmetalgod]

Hey Aufklarung, howcome you let so many people post your video? why didn't you only give permission to one guy so that we can get an accurate amount of how many people actually see it?

[Derivshx4]

That would be me actually. Back when youtube was new I asked if I could put it up, he said sure. Everyone else has put it up after me. Go ahead and check the date against the others.

But this is youtube, if there isn't 1000 videos all repeating the same thing then it just isn't right.

[orkkilla5589]

names of the shows used plz and where can i find all of this guyz vids?

[deathlordmetalgod]

summarize everything that my father and i grew up with, fill needle, inject into brain of world.

[Aufklarung]

Oh I can't wait for MWLL so I can come out of NBT retirement. I miss the old days of NBTM *sighs*

[Derivshx4]

Not exactly sure we'll be using MWLL as an NBT league. The admins aren't really interested in it.

[GohanGVO]

I LOVE YOU DERV

[Syklar90]

watch show is that at 2:28??

[DuncanDDante]

I believe it was macross zero.

[marksman7549]

that......WAS FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!

[Sauron767]

where is a good place to buy alot of mechwarrior shit like a whole bunch everything from animated to card game to couple hundred dollar collectibles i could put on my wall and posters and shirts too??? anyone?

[beusabulb]

awsome vid!!! though not all of it was mechwarrior lol.

[brutalxscreams]

did i see some armored core in there ?

[susumu07]

Zion is Zeon.... the "bad guy" faction in the Gundam saga.

You put a few of their clips up in this video. Those mechs are called Zakus.

[Suralin0]

The reason there are Robotech/Macross mechs in the vid, is because in the early days there were a bunch of mechs in Battletech which were directly based on those from Macross. Due to a licensing issue that FASA hadn't foreseen, they got sued and had to remove all images of the Mechs at issue (though the Mechs themselves weren't retconned out of existence or anything).

Recently this has (somehow) been legally dealt with, and the "Unseen" mechs can once again be used in the BT universe.

[Karuik2]

awesome, obviously lots of effort put into this

[lobowolf614]

0:13 wher is that from I know that is a warhammer but I Don't rembember seeing that on the battletech TV shows.

[gribae]

Not really sure why you added in some clips of RoboTech there

[deathlordmetalgod]

also, I thought Zion or whatever was the ancient azz one, not Cyclops.

[deathlordmetalgod]

well most people wouldn't enjoy saying they designed one thing remotely similarly to another. but If im wrong then *beg forgiveness*. but the way I look at it is: If you can take a mech, then add crap to it and make it look like another without too much effort, that constitutes as similar. just build a model of it with like fiberglass or something, then add / subtract till you get something else.

[Derivshx4]

The Cyclops came to be in the early 80s. The Thor and Loki didn't come until later. In fact the Clans borrowed a lot from Inner Sphere designs when they created their omnimechs, so you will see similarities.

Also what the hell is a Zion?

[gribae]

The Clans had the origins in the IS, so naturally, they would have started from IS designs. In fact, the SL took all their knowledge with them when they took the Exodus road, and without submitting themselves to petty fighting like the IS for the next three centuries, were able to focus and build on their military capabilities that far out-weighed the IS

[Suralin0]

The Cyclops predates the Thor and Loki by at least a hundred and fifty years. And there's nothing in the Canis' TRO 3060 entry about it being related to other mechs (except perhaps peripherally).

You might be thinking of the Sunder, which is a Kurita OmniMech based on the Thor.

[deathlordmetalgod]

this is a reply to the guy talking about cyclops and canis. YES, they ARE mods of thor and loki, just like Bushwacker is an inner sphere knock-off of the Clanner Vulture.

[Suralin0]

The Cyclops dates back to the Star League, several hundred years before the Thor or Loki, or even the Clans, existed.

And there is nothing in the Canis' entry in TRO 3060 about the Coyotes basing it on any other mech designs. No mention of the Thor or Loki.

Methinks you were thinking of the Sunder.

[Derivshx4]

He could be talking about Mektek using their basic in game model as the basis for the new models, though I doubt it.

[animehunter91]

What is Macross zero doing here?

it has nothing to do with with mechwarrior

[Aufklarung]

Actually, they do. Ever heard of the Unseen 21 mechs in Battletech? They were a direct copy from Macross/Robotech. Battletech also copied mechs from Gundam as well (Zaku) which is why I saw fit to add them to the video back in 2002.

[GhostBear3067]

21? never thought it was that many...

[deathlordmetalgod]

that had mechwarrior.robotech,and mobile suit gundam. BTW last fight between white and brown were mercenary variants of Thor and Loki. dont believe me? look closely, they have a cactus on fire as emblem(black legion baby). white on was thor by house Kurita designed to snipe out enemies. note:houses that hire mercenaries give them their mechs.

[cptultor]

can;t forget a bit of heavy gear and heavy gear 2 in there :P

[Aracnop]

that last fight used mechs from Mek Tek mekpack 2.0

[StormSpotter342]

They also had a brief glimpse of a scene from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, as well as some Armored Core.

[DuncanDDante]

Actualy, those two were cyclops and canis. And as far as my knowledge goes neither has anything to do with thor or loki.

[SYSTEMADMINISTRATOR3]

That was amazingly good work! nice video compilation. This one is a keeper and should get an award of some sort!

[ARMOROID5000]

WOW!! That was an excellent video! Perfect timing to music ratio, superb pacing and super editing points. I love the blending of mecha generas. The music was just right too! You did an awe inspiring job on this one!! SUPER GOOD JOB!!!! Top of my favorites list. THANK YOU FOR SUCH AN AWSOME POSTING!!!

[ZeroCaos1]

What is that music?

[danoobertrooper]

i think this was made as a trailer for mekpak 2. The last fight sequence was to show of the canis and the cyclops i believe it was a cyclops

[malachoi]

alot of the vids came from the

Robotech zero OVA.

[archangelmk2]

exellent job alferrug or whatever

[catchacatforme]

whao aws, but where did all those vids come from, where did you get the (i think) stone rhino, the one where there are lots of squares and that final duke out, what mechs are those?

[Ravenwing1970]

The final fight is in-game footage from Mechwarrior 4 (with expansion packs). I don't know about the other two.

[GhostBear3067]

Where is the animated warhammer from?

[rustyATV]

I can't verify, but I think it came from the Robotech animated series.

[Zoneoutboy]

One of the mech things from the Robotech series looks exactly like a Warhammer

[EdCrab77]

Very, very well made video.

Anyone remember those netmech simulators, clusters of 4 "sim" machines at arcades, basically running MW2 on a lan? Remember all the guys who got together with their patches, gear and rulebooks and would play battletech while waiting their turn on the machine?

Yeah... god damm, that was forever ago. Where'd I put my cane?

[ARMOROID5000]

Hey, I'm one of those guys! Yeah them was the good old days. I remember when battle tech was first issued as battle droids. (GASP)(Cough) oh, I'm heading into the light. so long ccruel world. (Last GASP)(Heart monitor goes flat line.)HAHA! THANKS!

[orkkilla5589]

@EdCrab77 your cane is right there, over by the giant thing that looks a lot like a tho- HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FU- *gets slaughtered*

[MangaMarvelvideo]

May i ask What's song did u use it?

[EdCrab77]

Pompeii, by E.S. Posthumus.

[CKOCKMONGLR]

Oh shit, I remember when this was made and posted on NBT forums.

I love you guys.

[CauldBorn]

To clear up the discussion about wich games are used in this movie:

(from a previous post)Hi, I'm =WM=Aufklarung Vordermark

Regarding remarks of certain footages used:

Macross -- BT used similar or the same mechs

Gundam -- To a lesser known extant, same with Gundam (Zaku = Clan Peregrine)

Armored Core/Heavy Gear -- After exhausting all known mech footage at the time, I needed something to fill in those annoying 1/10sec frames between those scene transitions.

[danoobertrooper]

i think this was on mektek's website to promote mekpak2 or mekpak 1 i dont remember i remember seeing it and being like crap i wish i hadnt broken my computer lol

[Swordswind]

The tittle says mechwarrior so any mech piloting any type of mech even if it is gundam then it should be okay. Think of it as mech variant collab.

[StormSpotter342]

Mostly Mechwarrior and Battletech stuff. Also contains 08th MS team snippets, pieces of Macross Zero, Macross: Do you remember love, and one brief scene from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. I'm such a nerd for being able to identify everything in there.

[StormSpotter342]

OH! Also, some Armored Core stuff.

[Ephilepson]

yeah yeah but all are mech and all are piloting by a human so...  they are mechwarrior at last no?

no for series of MW I can see are very saries in this vid but I'm in right??

[ldrz1]

what shows are 13 15 and 18 secondes please somebody tell me

[StormSpotter342]

Macross: do You Remember Love, I believe.

[LatinoBadass]

robotech i think

[Blackop198]

is that a game or a film???

[orest1s]

a game and some scenes from the cartoon wich the game is made of.

[CauldBorn]

Several games

[orest1s]

yeah. right

[Firefoxbandit777]

Awesome 15/5 stars

[SohnFiruns]

Stark,sagt ist das ein Felsrhino in der 2 Szene??

[USINROCK5]

hey what is the robotech the one with the 2 varatechs fighting i want to get that one and the other robotech is robotech shadow chronicals

[BerserFury]

what are the 2 mechs at the end?

[Derivshx4]

Canis and Cyclops

[spdkilzasoundsuck]

1 looks like a masakari idk the other

[DthScythe01]

Whats with mixing robotech and gundamn footage in it?

[scifishooterguy]

Robotech I dont mind so much, as long as Mechs act more realistic, like in Mechwarrior. But Gundam, Ive never been a full time Anime fan. But Mechsa re my favorite Anime I guess.

[arthurphrain]

What is this music from?

[Derivshx4]

Pompeii by ES Postmus

[arthurphrain]

Thanks. It rocks.

[ZanTheFox]

Gotta be the best mech music video I've ever seen! Major props to the creator!

[Mechsae]

This is AWESOME. I'm sitting here rewatching it trying to identify the 'Mechs you see in the flashes.

I need to show this to my Mechwarrior clix group.

[LightSparkzz]

But the most mechwarriors are from old mechwarrior games but only the mad cat is the one who stays in alll mechwarrior games

[Aufklarung]

Hi, I'm =WM=Aufklarung Vordermark

Regarding remarks of certain footages used:

Macross -- BT used similar or the same mechs

Gundam -- To a lesser known extant, same with Gundam (Zaku = Clan Peregrine)

Armored Core/Heavy Gear -- After exhausting all known mech footage at the time, I needed something to fill in those annoying 1/10sec frames between those scene transitions.

More importantly, its good to know that we few mech-jockies aren't an extant breed. :)

[Chance2345]

oh wait, I saw some gundam too

[Chance2345]

I saw robotech, battletech, mechwarrior, armoured core and macross zero.....did I miss any?

[plasterdat]

man the mech games r the bomb . ive played all of em and it saddened me wen i heard there would be no mc3 or another mechwarrior. so now i live off mw4 merc multiplayer. i dont know bout u guys but the idea of huge lumbering mechs carryin a shitload of weapons is dope to me. also are some of the scenes in the vid from gundam? gundam sux imo

[plasterdat]

also W00t ATLAS AND WARHAWK. they shud make a mech game with evry1 single dam mech ever. even all those eight legged mechs and all the orginial battlemechs

[plasterdat]

if u guys want the whole battletech history and evrything jus check this wiki out hxxp://wxw.battletechwiki.c.m/­wiki/Main_Page

[Derivshx4]

Grammar Murder.

There are no eight legged mechs in true Battletech. Take your Mechassault II and go home.

[plasterdat]

im no talkin aabout mechassault i never playyed mechassault. im just takin it from the link i posted below. they have some mechs that have more than 2 legs. i just thought it'd be cool if they had them in a mech game. dont bite my head off. i never played mechassault an i dunt kno if its good or not bcus i dunt have xbox

[worldmartini]

What is that song?

[Dustmuffins]

Pompeii

[worldmartini]

i think it was from another video. The Ryu vs Scorpion. ( its in my Favorites. Is it from another game?

[TemplarsWildFire]

Wow, I'm speachless! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

[owen117]

can someone tell me what happend to the call to arms mechwarrior vid? if possable give the link thing, btw nice vid dude, LONG LIVE THE DRACONIS COMBINE

[Jackel0519]

Awesome vid

[puttster3]

There is one thing about this movie I do not like, it has gundam and armored core, not that I don't like the two. The reason I am saying this is this, battletech took just about everything from robotech. Though I am not sure about the Monster from robotech, everything else from robotech is in battletech. The robotech fighters were called LAM (Land Air Mechs) which were lightly armored, unsuitable for combat, idea was a mech to get to the fight FAST

[puttster3]

Due to 500 character limit: and an experienced pilot could fire the lasers while it transformed. PS, I know it wasn't you who made it, this is more like a generic style of posting. Also hoping you actually can tell the guy.

[Gurthring]

HERCs need to worry about how much power their reactor outputs, Mechs need to worry about the heat generated. Same functionality, really.

Anyway, I like Mechs better, as they're more "realistic." Great vid, thoroughly enjoyed identifying them as they went by :P

[tikasou]

They deal with heat build up by using devices called heatsinks which use coolint from holding tanks and disperse it on the mech to cool it. They are big bad and better then hercs and they are called mechs from mechwarrior and mechassault folstrimhori ok this is from a die hard mechwarrior fan. I hate mech these are actually beleivable other then the highpowered lasers and swords!

[arthurphrain]

sweeeeeeeeeet!

[Sujad]

Meh, Hercs are better than Mechs. More firepower, shields and they don't overheat.

[FolstrimHori]

Hercs? And if they dont overheat you might aswell call them Gundam or any other generic jap mecha.

[Sujad]

Except for the fact that they're not anime like mecha. They do not run and jump around with swords or ridiculously designed beam weapons. Look it before you try and badmouth it.

[FolstrimHori]

sry bout that then, did my research and its from Starseige right? So how do they ventilate heat buildup then? Cant find any tech specs.

[tikasou]

Hey folstrim they are called mechs from mechwarrior and use devices called heatsinks to disperse coolint on the mech. NOTE: they are also from mechassault aswell

[FolstrimHori]

Oy, actually I know about BAttlemechs, and the Whole Mechwarrior series, I use to own at Mechwarrior3 & 4 online, until my joystick broke. Either way what I was asking about was the HERCS that SUJAD had mentioned.

Also I dont know about you but mechassault was a disgrace to the whole series of pc games.

[FolstrimHori]

Also, is their anywhere I can download a high quality version, or any version for the matter, of this video?

[FolstrimHori]

Um, what's the source of the anime-esque clips of Battlemech launching missiles in the beginning? I know it ain't from the Battletech animated series cuaz those mechs were CG'd.

[dodopod]

They were probably from SDF Macross.

[zolro]

woot, nice vids, mechwarrior...epitome of mass destruction...be afraid very afraid

[ecpeter]

Good song, excellent cutting man you have TALENT!, dropping the cuts on the beat and a diverse amount of footage keep it up!

[scrotumshogun]

yeaaaaaaaaaaah macross

[warnexus]

nice!

[TheVerisimilitude]

TIMG on Page 3, this is "Pompeii" from Unearthed by ES Posthumus.

[mbeige]

Why did I see Heavy Gear?!?!

[ecpeter]

Picky picky. But it won't overshadow the fact this is a great if not the best fan video I've ever seen. Why don't you post and make one of your own that is even as good as this.

[BicolBandit]

I love the Cyclops v. Canis ending. Most people just cut scenes to music arbitrarily, but your ability to augment and match the climaxes and lulls in the clips and the music is pretty well developed.

[Ephilepson]

mmm un buen video con algunos Mad Cat's y demàs bueno...

[Tribersman]

Often to fast to see in détail some of the Mech

[ShakeITyEA]

this video is so cool, macthes the song perfectly well

[ZalainVictor]

cool!

the robotech was the shadow chronicles??

[walterkeane]

robotech was first, by a long time. There was a lawsuit over the robotech mecha that appeared in FASA books years ago, especially technical readout 3025.

[Bapman2099]

LOL... I remember in BATTLETECH universe they had a Robotech Guardian / Gerwalk mode looking MECH tht didn't work very well.

Was funny.

[Bunnypopper]

Absolut cool Video. Robotech is the japanese part of Battletech, but I don´t know, what was the first.

[esracoon]

robotech is the american version.. Macross is the japanese version.. altho no biggie. Ya, this is a pretty good vid. If you all wanna see a good anime OVA, download or rent Macross Zero(3D-cgi anime). (i think i saw some footage in this vid.

[Bapman2099]

HOLY SH|T MAN !!! That has to be one of coolest... kickass video I've seen in a VERY lnog time.

Absolutely AWEFREAKINSOME !!!

Wish I could get a higher quality version that I could dl.

[racuti1]

Some Robotech mechs were borrowed from Mechwarrior. The Rifleman, Marauder, Phoenix Hawk and a couple others. The odd thing is, those models were rarely if ever choices in the MW games.

[Derivshx4]

No, when Battletech was created (Battledroids), they took mechs from other games like Robotech and Harmony Gold, IE the unseen mechs.

[79camaro454]

On Scene 0:43, With the Rifle man, where is that from?

[Artimisintransit]

saw some robotech stuff in there

[bravoattack]

Bloodpit! Man I love that map.

[SpiffCat]

Awesome vid! Very impressive. A small band of us are still dedicated to keeping MechWarrior4 alive!

[Derivshx4]

Because this is a mecha video, not just Mechwarrior.

[isocryd]

Pretty nice, and pretty well done, too. I just got one question.

Why did you include Gundams?

[Cezain]

MechWarrior/BattleTech; extremely underrated.

[botch13]

You bring a tear to my eye bro. Mechwarrior lives on barely these days. Thank you!

[timg4444]

whats the name of this song? just curious

[Derivshx4]

Pompeii

[EmeryPearson]

Who's it by?

[timg4444]

ive been around ever since MW first came out, brings some very good memories back, and since MW5 doesn't look like its gunna b comin ever mercs is the last game for mechwarrior glad they got a solid video like this out, but i saw this video for MekTeks mech pack 2 a few years ago....

[dvaston]

At 0:44 is that scene from Multiplayer Battletech 3025?

[Derivshx4]

Yes.

[79camaro454]

I belive so, never did play it 3025. Where can i get it?

[dvaston]

Actually I just noticed you have got scenes from the original Mechwarrior 2 and Ghost Bears Legacy as well. :)

[dvaston]

Mechwarrior is awesome. Nicely done vid, shame that the music is a bit repetitive tho. Is that some shots from Robotech and Gundam in there as well as the scenes from Mechwarrior 3 and 4?

[edjcox]

Who is the music by, is it in German?

[juki009]

I recognize some of the scenes from MW3, MW4, mechcommander but the one with the Stone Rhino...Wer is that one from? And the one with the mechs figthing in the green valley, wers that one from too?

[79camaro454]

I was wondering the same thing. I loved the stone rhino. Where did the "cartoon" mechwarrior/battle tech come from in the beging,  its differend than the battle tech series.

[dodopod]

The green valley one is MechWarrior 2 Mercenaries.

[FolstrimHori]

Damn this vid brings a tear to my eyes, my old lost memories of mechwarrior coming back to me in a flash

[79camaro454]

same here brother, im making a myspace page deticated to mechwarriors, email me for updates.

Hail
