Am I 🧑‍🏫 out of touch🤔? No🧐, it's the children👶 who are wrong🤷🏼‍♂️
So I dispute your claim that metal Gear Rex is the first American intro to mechs because there was also THE MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS and the Megazord was cool as gently caress.

What are you? Mid 30s? There were mechs in the Murricaville in the 70s!

And this still means one is ignoring Mechagodzilla and Tetsujin (Gigantor) amongst others in the 50-60s. The mid 80s was a drat wonderland of big stompy robots beyond that.

Friggin kids these days. The hell are they teaching you in school?

Clearly not in Gosaurer's school that's for sure. :colbert:

Okay well then you further prove my point along with Transformers being a very 80's thing.

OP made the statement that METAL GEAR REX was America's first obsession with mechas (which is a solid mid/late 90's thing) and I just wholeheartedly disagree :colbert:
