One of the great TV series.

I don't know if it could be possible to remake it in these modern times.

So did you ever figure out who Number 1 is? It's in the very last episode of the series.

I'm currently playing Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries and am quite happy with my 75 ton Black Knight. It's armor alone has a few hundred hit points. And it can step on tanks. Why waste good ammo on them?

Still, it's only a matter of time before I scrape a Marauder [^] off the battlefield, even if I have to scrap it myself first. I always had a Marauder, beginning with Mechwarrior 1.

These types of mechanized exoskeletons have become a lot more believable since Boston Dynamics perfected walking robots.

Not really, at least not the huge versions that can step on tanks. For the same reasons why a flea can jump a few thousand times its size while an elephant can't jump at all. It's the inverse cube law- Double something in size and its mass increases eight times. An elephant sized flea could not jump a few miles.

Without some Unobtanium[^] such devices or movie giant monsters will never exist in this universe.

The shows in the real robot genre are at least a bit more plausible, like Patlabor.
Or Fang of the Sun Dougram, where they paid some attention to terrain and tactics. For instance, a 2-legged mech isn't very useful on sand dunes.
