- The trailer for a proposed crowdfunded Mechwarrior/Battletech film. Unfortunately we were not able to obtain the legal rights to the IP for funding. But hey, at least we got some stompy animation out of it.
SFX: MWO
Music: NGNG Soundtrack, "Falling" - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Rasalhague: YAY WE'RE FREE AT LAST!
Fate: Hahahaha, no.
Well, it did kind of work out for them in the end when they realized they had more in common with the Ghost Bear remnants than with any of the spheroids surrounding them :P.
@@GaldirEonai yeah, they did get a more happy ending with the ghost bear dominion in the end didnt they.
@@MortarGuyX Mhmm. The Rasalhagues pretty much assimilated the Ghost Bears into their Norse culture.
@@NorthernNorthdude91749 Rasalahauge and Ghost Bears met, decided that this worked out well for everyone involved, and founded Space Sweden.
@@unimprezzedmclastname4220 Eh the bears, especially the warrior Caste still maintain serious separation. And will violently enforce that to prevent the warriors from cultural drifting too far.
Battletech really could be Game of Thrones in space. The lore is rich, with I'm sure dozens of different points for good storytelling to occur. I really hope it happens someday.
And it was out before Game of Thrones.... So Game of Thrones is Battletech in low fantasy.
Seriously speaking, though, much of the GoT-style stuff did come out after GoT did. Don't know if the authors ever read it first, though.
I don't know if a GoT-like Battletech show is actually a good idea. Due to budget constraints, early seasons of GoT were heavy on political maneuvering and no actual big battles. Do we want to see a Battletech show with no battles and no Battlemechs?
I actually think the animated series made a good move by focusing on a few warriors on the front lines rather than the political maneuvering at the top.
Battletech could have a Game of Thrones setting for each faction.
This is Dan and Dave we like to put our own input in here
@@Wintermute01001 The way I remember it, GoT season one was the Stark family and Danny for the most part. Sure it showed their interactions with the rest of the realm, little glimpses into the other houses, but it started relatively small. It grew over time to accommodate the greater machinations at play. The show was able to pace itself, slow and steady as it revealed the grand web of factional politics and characters. I think that would be the best way of doing it.
I'm not a Rasalhague guy, my loyalties lie with the Federated Suns and always have. That said, Rasalhague could certainly be that small beginning and they could definitely pull sympathy like the Starks did. By all means start with a smaller nation, start with a smaller cast sure, but it would be criminal not to indulge in the same kind of natural growth that GoT had.
Alright..the worst part of this video is that it doesn't say, "Coming Soon 2021"! Looks awesome!
Can we just.
go back to the bit where that dude was about to fight a Dire wolf with a fucking SWORD!?
Take this to Catalyst games and show this to the creators. This........this needs to happen. Please don’t give up and please make this happen. Hell show it to George Ledoux and have him help promote it by offering to have him voice the characters. He’s always been a passionate Battletech guy and has helped fan fiction writers.
I love this animation. As a fellow Rasalhague fan, this seriously slaps. I'm even running an audiobook series on CZcams that follows a resistance movement in the region during the Clan Invasion. If I had a ton of money to offer you, I'd suggest a collab.
@@DCBruinsMedia "A Twist of the Knife" is the name of it. I believe you found the first installment already.
I like how everyone complains about how "anime" it is but all of the stuff depicted in here happens all the time in Battletech. Everything depicted in this video you can pretty much do in the board game, there's most likely a rule for it.
+Ayy Lmao Oh god there are rules! *has war flashbacks*
Actually, I think that was a Dire Wolf.
D.C. Bruins is this thing seriously still in the works? Thought it was dead in the water man, my hopes, my dreams, they return!!
I guess people don't realize BattleMechs are actually EXTREMELY agile. Mainly because they don't know shit about BattleTech I guess.
@ErgonomicChair Depends on the mech. Mechs like the Locust, Commando, and MLX? Yeah, thats believable. Mechs like the Atlas and Dire, which were explicitly stated to be sluggish but powerful? Not really.
Best Hunchback visuals EVER. I never gave that glass cannon any credit before. Now it has my respect. :)
mechs just don't move that way imo thats a different ip like gundam where the robots are as fluid moving as a human..
@@homelessEh'Mechs are in fact able to move with near-human maneuverability and reflexes, partially thanks to the way they tie in with the MechWarriors' own sense of balance, but the HunchBack near body-slamming a Timber Wolf over a cliff was a HUGE exaggeration.
@@JimBobJoeB0b Cut to 3052, on Alyina when Kai-Allard-Liao tackles a clan mech off a cliff into the ocean, in a Centurion.
Jacob McEwen LINKS OR IT DIDN’T HAPPEN!
@@JimBobJoeB0b It's from either book 2 or 3 of the Blood of Kerensky trilogy
I said this on your Frihet video, but I'll say it again here: your work is fucking fantastic! Just a perfect combination of action and emotion, and manages to tell a story without even using dialogue.
Also, I like how you showed Mackies being assembled at the beginning. That was a nice touch.
this intellectual property has so much potential I really wonder what Microsoft is doing besides MechWarrior 5 like seriously the film potential I'm not saying I support video game movies remember World of Warcraft nope not going to do that again but seriously maybe they should try doing another animated series and take it seriously instead of making it some kind of Western Mega Man scenario
the apparent problem so far i seen with most vidio game movies..is that they market themselfs as a 'movie about x game world'' or such kindof same syndrom for movies made from popular books although those at least have good examples in quantity enough to merit some consideration :/
..and then either ends up being little more then ip names stamped onto something unrelated with its origin being little more then a pr stunt to grab sales through name recognition ..or something so laced with the life messages the main streem industrie pumps out atm ..the movie is jsut a poor destorted reflection of what it takes its name fame from , example would be directors own idea about say..fantasy..aka eragon ? 99% of the movie was little more then the books names borrowed for characters in poorly scripted shit in a similar plot ,sure not a 'game' movie but a good example of the hole ''hey people we make a movie about this thing you buy that right ?'' .. dident even watch the world of warcraft movie :/ the snips i saw of it in trailers and others hersay made it quite clear msot of the plot from the games hade been ripped out in favor of some wierd jesus symbolism and the generic 'epicness' that corrodes blizzards mmo since a few years back.
a good example though that i would say..can be hmm , final fantasy perhaps ? one movie that followed as a small 'elaboration' of the ff7 plotlines and another one that jsut was sort of ''yep its final fantasy so just roll with it ,its not supposed to be your average earth''
well the WoW film was based off of the Warcraft novels and technically not the game
MS is basicly not doing anything with the IP, PGI is the only ones doing anything with it but they are small time among other things. MS also just recently extended the rights to the IP with them. pretty sure its only for video game stuff but either way would likely need a real major hit release for any tv/movie stuff to happen
@@kinggoten HBS did a great job with the battletech turn based game...You can't hack the planet if you forget to mention that gem.
@@torcheddreadnought899 HBS did a good job, but it was licensed to them by PGI and while it was a good(just short of great) game it wasn't a huge hit
Watched this again. I would LOVE for this to be an animated movie. Gets more of the feel of the original feel and writing of the Battletech mechs, not the static, limited by modern technology mechs we have today.
Been years. Still think it is better than most stuff coming out these days. Still want an actual series.
Over the years I have watched this countless times, it's just beyond awesome. The moment at the end when the MWO sounds kick in and the Atlas and Dire Wolf go to town on each other, goosebumps man.
If i or any Battletech fan won the lottery, i would heavily invest into making this a solid fan fueled reality. GOT is awesome. Just imagine if we had the proper funding.
Cheers all
0:36 love how that atlas move. that's one of the reasons i love atlas in MWO
and now i know the source of the mechwarrior animation gifs i can find via discord. Keep up the good work!
Ok this needs to be a series seriously. Battletech anime?! Sign me up!!!
As someone who was recently introduced and quickly fell in love with Battletech/Mechwarrior in a pure lore sense, this is fantastic, in my opinion a series like this could have had Game of Thrones levels of potential if written and approached right in such a lore heavy universe. I hope you guys really try again for this to work. question, was this going to show the fall of Rasselhague to Clan Ghost Bear? I'm just curious.
Every time I see your Rasalhague helmet design it activates neurons in my brain, it's so damn good.
Watched this several times now, and it looks amazing. Your mechs are as fluid as I see them in my head- I should point out that the Locust and the Hunchback have been two of my goto faves for 30 years and deny any accusations of impartiality. I love how it looks like you' were setting the trenchcoat character up as the leader of the resistance- callsign Odin? Lost his eye and gained wisdom? I do wish you'd been able to finish this, because it feels like you've got a great story here, slapping the Dragon and poking the Bear.
The is outstanding! So sorry you couldn't get the rights, BT needs an outlet for the amazing universe it has. For the FRR, drive the invaders out of the sphere!
The clans got what was coming to them though in the end.
@Needa Pickle Videos Yes...enjoy rolling around in your own filth just as you have done for the past several centuries. The descendants of Kerensky came back to put right what Amaris made wrong and you stravags threw it away.
@@NodDisciple1 One word clanner, Tukayidd
@@kilowhiskyforge4337 Not to mention by the time of the IlClan Era, a SPHERE-born Warrior of Clan Wolf is the IlKhan.
And all of the invading clans more or less just became new states in the IS, with trade ties and everything.
So even when the Clans "won," they lost. Because for all their "Genetic Superiority," it was a freeborn who ended up leading the ones that didn't fuck off and become isolationist.
So much for "Bred for War, superior to you Inner Sphere Surats."
How does this not have more views?!? Also
Wow, COOL! I like the blue themes, the chicken walker (Locust and Raven) run cycles, the people and blue eyes, and yeah Dire Wolf vs Atlas grand climax with appropriate audio is excellent.
It looks like trailer to bigger animation
I beg you, more!!!
Congrats on making the locust actually look cool. That takes talent!
For everyone ragging on the sword vs Dire Wolf guy, I personally would love to see the clanner pop his cockpit to fight the dude honorably and get sniped. The IS engaged in cowardly trickery all the time canonically.
Of course, I would also love to see him get out without getting wrecked and do epic anime swordfight. It'd be a slick callback to Wu Fei and Treize in Gundam Wing. Depends on how anime you wanted it to be I guess.
How to get a new mech against clanners:
Step 1: Find a sword and wave it around as your desired mech approaches.
Step 2: Assuming the pilot sees you and gets out to honorably duel, have your buddy(you've got a buddy, right?) snipe the cockpit with his trusty urbanmech's small laser. The AC/10 would ensure a kill but then the cockpit would be destroyed.
Step 3: This is the hard part...climb up the mech to the cockpit. This will take a while.
Step 4:Profit! XD
Excellent points all around my man. Excellent points all around!
@@thecrasaeone Forgot step 5: Watch as the clans designate you and everyone associated with you as Dezgra and then engage in unrestricted warfare designed to utterly annihilate you.
@@guitarhausdoesntknowwhatac3285 Results may vary.
And people wonder why I prefer the Clans over the IS.
I'm so sad this didn't get made. I love the animation style and the story looks like it would have been great
A hunch against a timber wolf... with a clanner pilot... good luck! Dire wolf against an atlas, unless that's an SLDF Royal Guard variant it won't be much of a fight.
So this is what a finished work looks like ;D I just came from another video of yours about the starting out of the young mechwarrior in her Hunchback in this video. Your work is fantastic. A lovely blend of action, storytelling and emotion without dialogue. Well done :D
I still like the unfinished artwork of your other video believe it or not. It has a certain raw quality to it :D
Liked that :D Especially the part at the end when that Daishi was fixing to be lawn fertilizer when that atlas was done pounding it to paste.
You laugh at the man with the katana, but if he can do a melee attack it'll force a piloting check and could knock the Dire Wolf over, thus beginning the cycle of:
Try to stand, fail, falls
Try to stand, fail, falls
Try to stand, fail, falls, pilot blacked out
The odds are slim, but never zero.
Damn just love that locust running animation
Daaaaayyyyuuummmm!!! Somebody needs to get Mr. Netflix on the phone! They can make a decent comic series about Pacific rim, this would kick so much more ass!
Love this anime style, so beautiful! I would pay to see this any day of the week!!!! Just bloody awesome!!!!! Really captures the Battletech/Mechwarrior theme completely.
I would pay seriously good money to see some Battletech unfold. The fall of the SLDF and foundation of the clans would make a fantastic series
7 years later, this is still a phenomenal release and has never really been topped.
(though your most recent one w/ HPG maybe matches it....)
Great work!
This is the animated series Battletech deserves.
I see the FRR banner burning... It must be extinguished with the spilt blood of the vat born!
I still can't wait to see this done. I hope it's still even just a backround project.
This is so damn cool. I absolutely love it! I really hope we get to see more!
This is so fucking cool. The thing that just about every Battletech game has been missing is straight up melee, big stompy mechs duking it out with their fists, punching through cockpit hatches, ripping weapons off, crazy shit like that. I hope Battletech gets some sort of show soon, a Netflix series, Amazon, live action, 2D, CGI, anything would be so sick.
damn this looks so good. They captured the imposing doom of the Daishi coming out of the mist so perfectly, not to mention the really smoooth animations
This was freaking awesome, well done
1:25 this short sequence of running has lived in my brain rent free for years
I love the animation, reminds me of the cutscenes in Torchlight II
We are Jade Falcon, great among the Clans. We are warriors who fight with the strength of the Falcon’s claw, and ascend to the heavens on wings of jade.
We remember with the clarity of falcon flight the words of Kerensky. Through the smoke of time, he speaks to us, his chosen, and urges us onward with the promise of Eden. We will retake what is ours by right: that shining jewel, Terra.
Not the vastness of space, nor the Wolf’s obstinate howl, will stay us from our righteous goal. We are Crusaders and will trample all who stand in our way.
Very nice. Run locust run!
If that's a Jade Falcon pilot, you've got a decent chance of them meeting your challenge of a drawn Katana. I think. Their founder made a legend with one she used.
@@DCBruinsMedia Capellan fuckery BEYOND THE PERIPHERY none the less.
Yeah, it was the Capellans.
Brought a sword to a gunfight. And WON.
animation really gives me a Dead Leaves vibe. good stuff
Netflix needs to get the battletech license hand D.C. Bruins a fat check and they'd have the best new animated series in the bag.
Here, take my money... FOR THE CLANS!!!
WOW!! Just WOW!! Amazing video!!😮 The vision that you put in it is the one that I have playing Battletech😍 And that Hunchback is the boss!! Please give us more of your fantastic work sir🙋👏👏👏
Remember there is a tabletop game called "battletech a game of armored combat".
Awesome work!! I really like the art style.. Monofilament katana vs Masakari = AWESOMESAUCE
Would love to see more like this.
im genuinely curious if that character we keep seeing, the one with the Hunchback, is the same from Frihet.... if so, i really want more of these top tier animations telling the story of the RR and the invasion
I have to admit seeing the mech so fluid (instead of blocky movement) was nice. Suckers moved almost like Armored Cores.
You know I keep coming back to this. Even after years after this came out.
I enjoy it because of the style, the animation and the setting. I understand how it departs from the source material to stay fast pace, but I can see the attention to detail to which only a true fan would recall.
But most importantly I can see the potential in it. I can see this and imagine a modern day animated series.
The videogames made them slow and lumbering. Canon has mechs being very swift and agile thanks to myomer effectively being artificial muscle, and the mech's gyro being tied directly in to the pilot via a neurohelmet MMI.
@@elucid07 I really wish we'd get a MechWarrior game with proper melee combat and movement options. No sprint, MASC is rarely present, no battle armor suits with claw mechanics, no picking up trees and using them as clubs...
wow I've never seen anything more beautiful in my life.
all i want is a one hour loop of the circle of death at the end...
This is fugg'n awesome! I love it and shows how things go down in BTech perfectly!
GOD DAMNIT this still upsets me. we could have had greatness
WAIT I finally found this and you're telling me we COULD of had this but didn't get it??? Now that can't be right this has so much potential!
@@DCBruinsMedia Yeah, I get it I truly do. But I can still be frustrated about it haha. If only everyone can be like Sega is with Sonic fan material and just let them go wild and endorse the fan games that do well. Well I hope at the very least, the love you get from your followers, myself and now more people to whom im showing this to, can help you feel good about what work you put into this. Because myself and the others love this. Absolutely we do.
How far would you go?
ANYTHING AND EVERYTING!
Congrats, you're a mechwarrior
Wish the mechs in game moved like they do in the animations. So much more fun to be had
The games? They are mostly in universe entertainment products dating from the first half of the 31st Century. People knew rebuilt mechs and new designs were coming out, and that things like neurohelmets were getting fixed after the Helm Memory Core, but only people who had need to know really got to see SLDF grade machines in all their glory. (My in-universe story and I'm sticking to it)
That contact between hunchback and madcat was epic
Wow, you made a Jagermech look cool. I didn't think that was possible :D.
The final cut of the Dire Wolf and Atlas just duking it out looks so damn cool, I love it. Clan 'Mechs in MW:5M when?
The balls you got to pull a katana out with a mech coming straight at you
Holy shit I just found this and it's fucking awesome!
Imagine this and NOT Game of Thrones. People really have a tendency to choose the worse options.
This is actually GOOD!
Wow, they actually made the jegermech look cool
A katana against a Daishi/Dire Wolf? Man! And I thought Wrath from FMA: Brotherhood taking out a medium tank with a sword was anime bullshit crazy enough
Vibro-katana too. And the pilot may have disembarked to go hand to hand with the guy. The Clans are big on personal challenges and honor like that.
He watched "Attack On Titan" too many times.
Vibroblades are badass - techs use them to strip off damaged armour.
@@Hopfolk, they also make them Mech-sized. All the bonuses of a Sword, but have a set size and damage when activated, along with heat buildup.
Last Friday I took 3 custom 30 tonners that were only armed with ECM and a Large Vibroblade, but could run up to 151 kph without activating its Supercharger (i.e. 9/14 (18)). 14 damage in melee off of a 30 tonner is no joke. Unfortunately, all I faced were a bunch of jump-happy punchers that night. They managed more damage than the customized Banshee I made armed with Claws and Talons, though (namely because the Banshee couldn't keep up, even with MASC and a Supercharger, and only managed to be in range to hit one thing all night).
@@Hopfolk Standing here, I realize you were
Just like me trying to make history.
But who's to judge the right from wrong.
When our guard is down I think we'll both agree.
That violence breeds violence.
But in the end it has to be this way.
MAKE THIS A TV SHOW LIVE ACTION NOW!!!!!
Ah, so this is the original! Wish I had found this sooner.
In galaxy far from this one in a dimension full horror and abominations a god of war, skulls and blood shed simply smiled as he felt the blood flow
As much as I'd love for this to become the next LA series, I just have the worst feeling the production team would eff it up like HALO
This needs to be made into a movie.
If were lucky MW5 will take off with more than just the very specific audience it currently has and things like this will get a more in depth look at. we might be on the verge of a new era!
If someone did a Netflix series or something of Battletech I think it could go far. The Successor States are basically sci-fi distopia Game of Thrones.
I'm loving the norse style neurohelmet!
Back again, I still want this to be a thing.
Excellent job!
Ah, yes, a katana vs a mech. Balls of steel, brains of toilet paper...
Now see? This is good Battletech stuff!
Whaaaaaa??? Thanks to George Ledoux I have found this gem just now. Amazing! Wish I could give some more thumbs up.
Commentators: Keep Game of Thrones (ESPECIALLY the last, um three? seasons) AWAY from MY 'MECHS (please).
Yeah, too bad some giant like Netflix hasn't optioned this or you! I really, Really, REALLY hope that some form of BattleTech/MechWarrior blockbuster movie emerges someday before the SLDF!
Of course, I'm an optimist, and still waiting to see what Netflix does with Old Man's War ... they're only the 3rd? 4th? to procure the movie rights ... at least if they DO continue forward and make that property into a movie (why not? it's just money to them and has the BEST opening line ever!)
It’s been 7 YEARS!
I just found out who that banner belongs to. And I can see why it citizens and warriors would feel especially violent or desperate in the face of the Clan invasion.
I was thinking more in terms of how they were positioned to take the brunt of the clans without any territory out of the way. Didn't know they got singled out before that.
And why the Hunchback pulled a Miraborg Maneuver?
make it happen! you have the powah!
1:58
That. That right there. That is pure Battletech.
Only just picked this series up again. Mechwarrior 2 was my first video game and though I was too little to think about the story, I played a lot of skirmishes with the Timber Wolf. Always my favorite mech!
I love this video. It is awesome!!!
You guys should try again. Maybe something like the Astartes style warhammer short fiilms.
I'm sorry, what. A fucking sword.
Probably a Drac. They tend to be crazy about Katanas. And dying with a sword in hand would probably be up their alley.
I like your Style, it would be pe perfect for Battletech!
I still think your atlas near the end was the reason an atlas got a PPC quirk...
Which I don't mind as that same atlas is the one I used to replicate your build :D
Man a Battletech series a la Clone wars 2003
