You truly captured the essence of mecha assembling sequences the soundeffects made me chuckle :D

Oh NCH is an old hand at that, check out some of their older stuff and you'll find more mecha goodness they've made

[@cyz3566]

For those unaware: The combination theme is called "Vacant Soul", from Super Robot Wars 2nd OG, belonging to a soulless bastard of a character named Duvan Org.

[@bouvelleblend1805]

I fucking knew it that was an srw bgm lmao I thought I was trippin

[@TheShinyFeraligatr]

Devant. His name is Front. This is mirrored by his counterpart, Arriere, whose name means Back.

[@cyz3566]

@@TheShinyFeraligatr Thank you for the correction, some SRW translation names can be confusing, like Sombold vs Zonvolt.

[@TheShinyFeraligatr]

@@cyz3566 Sänger Sombold, named after either a pair of Nazi aircraft (well, one Nazi one and one West German one named after a Nazi) or their creators.

There's like a dozen enemy types from first game missing. And Siege Mech was literally this video.

Scout striders counting for two kills is such a good touch.

[@aldosantin1485]

Hey they never completed the transformation cos Robin refused 😤. It would have been epic

[@starry53]

SUPER!!! A+ for that awesome Automaton docking sequence. Franky will be very proud 👍👍.

[@sebastianhovenas272]

The moment i read "Docking" I knew

[@GunlessSnake]

Stop being salty, soldier! Doesn't matter the count, as long as you make it count!

[@randomdude9630]

yeah....but that still counts as one

[@andrewowens4421]

One of those, if they didn't properly deploy they are only one "unit" kind of people.

[@JoveJoved]

>Implying that every bot doesn't still survive the dropship being shot down

[@emetanti]

Thats why it only counts as one.

[@syeblaize]

The berzerkers jump to make the combiner hulk move! I wouldn't mind seeing these in game.

[@jamesliu8095]

You bastard, they're fearsome enough as is with their spawn rate, don't give Joel ideas.

[@Nhikxter]

Gimli "That still only counts as one" + Old School Gundam noises? Not disappointed.

[@Protogen-Doof]

And here i am, thinking they would be transforming into a factory strider.

[@GoodBoyGoneDad]

Same.

[@sinteleon]

If anything the factory strider would be the equivalent to a carrierzord...

[@filanfyretracker]

now would that count as one or can you pro-rate based on its bot production potential.

[@OshidaBCF]

Arrowhead is taking note right now

[@TheArklyte]

Look up Siege Mech😂

[@granoonis2080]

For real, though, I would absolutely PANIC if I saw that thing in game.

[@arcanisdivinitis]

Laughs in autocannon.

[@Rex-ud7hp]

'that still count as one!' i waited for this line to come some where, i wasnt despointed

[@Palgrave]

"Helldiver, quick! You have to dock on the left arm or it won't be complete!"

Big fan of every Gundam sound known to man used for the docking lmfao

[@doctorbright1065]

I swear, I love it any time NCH does anything mechanical.

[@ironwolf5802]

0:49 and that's why there's "accidentally" team kills.

[@Nidrog]

Bro Vacant Soul playing during the transformation sequence is such a damn good pick~

[@timwoods2852]

Gimli would be proud. Also, all that work combining (both in univere, *_and_* from the animator) just to be waisted instantly in one shot. At least we got the walking sequence with the credits.

[@bigdrew1210]

You're giving Joel ideas!!

[@CreatorsToast]

I'd love if commisars could actually give the other automatons orders like this.

[@AWARHERO]

Damn it! Now look what you've done! JOEL.... DON'T LOOK AT THIS! (But really put this in the game....)

[@Prepare-uranus-]

Joel : WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN

[@starsilverinfinity]

If Joel catches wind of this . . .

[@Jawmax]

Love your mecha animations. Also, someone call Arrowhead Studios they need to put this in the game!

[@JerBuster77]

"And I will form the head!"

[@Grayfox251]

[@Moon_Cricket_Stinks]

*Joel* : time to get serious. Combine factory walker, tanks, and bruiser hulks.

went from a 40k Dreadnought to a fucking Battlemech from Mechwarrior real quick

[@LeQuangSang4797]

"Automatons, transform and combine into Hulkticus"

[@Sephvion]

Imagine that thing sprinting at you at the speed of berserkers, while firing off every single weapon the Hulk, Devastators, and Rocket Devastators have. Jesus christ.

[@DavidMFlorin]

I can totally see them putting this type of Uber Hulk into the game on the harder difficulties. You need to take out the three skull weak-points before the red center eye loses its extra armor and the back reactor weak-spot becomes a viable target. Or you need to blow off the armored knee pads before blowing up the skull kneecaps to disable it's legs. This thing would be a beast to fight and a lot of fun as well if done properly.

[@Hermitstatus]

Imagine the programming hell the studio would have to go through to implement this in to the game.

[@gishathosaurus6828]

That brough me back to some of your older stuff, amazing work :P

[@DaYemenball]

Joel be like: HEHE!! NEW UPDATE!!!

[@sanjin8867]

DO.NOT.GIVE.HIM(Joel). IDEAS!!

[@joegamergaming]

Yooo! That Megazord was sick! And the little baby 'zord at the end!

[@oscarpita8272]

The automaton combiner looks so cool and the combine sequence amazing, i hope it's used again but in a combat scene

[@ppm3]

The sequence of the assembly was fantastic. I loved it!

[@TheRealGears]

This would be such an insane boss fight- the automatons we already have are insane, imagine having to coordinate an attack against a super-armored humanoid clanker made of 5 seperate clankers joined together

[@octogorb9853]

Damn Counter Sniper and AMR? My kind of guy, exactly how i play. Didnt think it would get representated. Also missing 3 shots to the Hulk head is relatable.

[@JamesTheTurnbull]

Joel: I have a mighty need....

[@RyuKaguya]

really puts into perspective how terrifying the helldivers are. at most there are 4 of us at a time and we CLEAVE through armies.

[@echostarling84]

Now that would be fun to see a Voltron Automoton, just be sure to be shooting during its transformation sequence.

[@SilentderLaute]

Thats some high Quality Animation :3 great work

[@sevenclovers7]

Yeah that really does look fun to fight, love how you keep the back weakness.

[@Majin2buu]

I honestly hope Joel watches this and starts getting ideas. This is beautiful.

[@nukerkid105]

0:43 am i the only one who noticed the fallout 4 gauss rifle charge sound effect?

[@jonedvinz]

Automatons may have the power of friendship. But Friendship does nothing against a Lass-99 Quasar Cannon and liberty!

[@NoelistAvenger]

Joel : "Oh yeah, I'm gonna add that in the game, the players are *so* gonna shit their pants when they see one of those suddenly spawning on the battlefield !" Helldivers : "Wait... This wasn't a joke ? WE CAN FIGHT THOSE ? HELL YEAH!!"

[@dentron2891]

If they get a mech, we should be able to form the coming vehicles into one ourselves. A shame that we only got 4 Helldivers per Mission.

[@sinteleon]

Weakpoints: Shooting off shoulder skulls disbles arm launchers and repeaters. Shooting off head skull disables shoulder gatlings. Chest "Hulk" head protected from explosions, requires targetted high pierce weapons to hit like AMR or railgun. Legs protected from frontal attacks, but can be disabled if shot from sides or back And hulk back weapoint is still present.

[@loltwest9423]

0:33 Little does anyone know that can be considered an Attack of the Clones reference.

[@Gndmmaniac]

I absolutely love the amount of Super Robot Wars references and other mecha references you put into these animations! For those curious of the song used for the combined automaton: Super Robot Wars OG 2nd - Vacant Soul kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpC3c4WGfcmEnacsi=ofhdwN612jUAo5ie

[@geralt7144]

Not gonna lie. That transformation looks very democratic to me.

[@unknownfactor6489]

Music gave me Metal Slug vibes There is also another feeling I cant out my finger on

心の無いオートマトンであっても、ロマンを追いかける事は止められないようだ。

[@TheComradeBritish]

"What's in the new update, Arrowhead?" "Fuckin Megazord, get to it."

[@mister_tin]

I'd love to see an alternate version where the left arm refuses to dock because it would hurt its Automaton pride.

[@bloodhawlings6425]

At least they're polite enough to wait until they finished docking

[@somegoofballwhohasinternet7313]

Imagine the sheer about of democracy that could be spread of the helldivers got a combining mecha suit like that.
