Operation: Salve Array
In the far distant year of 1993, a mysterious figure has dark plans for a medical outpost. Can the heroic Mercury Squadron stop them in time?

[@keysontrains538]

Gotta love body language in inanimate objects. And space trains. Can’t wait for more!

[@josepablolunasanchez1283]

If mechs are an extension of own body, via neurohelmet, they might reflect pilot mood too. Very clever.

[@jaromswenson7541]

i like the "red vs blue" type banter between the "stomper jocks". i also like the A-10 warthog design of the atmosphere fighter. the way the mechs move with expression makes me think they are controlled mostly by a type of advanced neural link (more so then a battlemech), unless of course it was more for comedic effect. this is great! i would like to learn more about this setting and the specs of the different vehicles and stompers.

[@RepublicanGuardMan]

I was gonna comment the same thing its so true, it made me so nostalgic to the early seasons of rvb where all they did was just stand there and talk, id love sometning like that but with mechs and maybe a bit more fighting than normal

[@bloodraven8020]

I request that you release this on Saturday mornings so I can say I have a Saturday morning cartoon again.

[@FarseerAnimation]

Well bargained and done

[@charlesballiet7074]

ah the muic and the art speak to my 90's childhood

[@lordtomlluckrahthegreat9014]

I noticed that, on Leatherman's Stomper, one of the vestigial arms is further away from the body, even though both arms seem to carry the same weaponry, because the left side carries a multi-tube launcher of some kind. So the arm is placed further away as to balance the upper structure without adding significant weight! It's a cool detail. Balance would be a really big deal for bipedal combat thingies IRL.

[@FarseerAnimation]

Glad to see someone noticed that detail!

[@suspiciouscheese4518]

Ooh I was wondering why that was, that makes sense! I just figured it was a stylistic choice, and that the weapons on each side were different.

[@lazzlepops]

I had my money on the callsign Nuts. Superb work as always. Cool seeing the little in world things like shield shear warnings and kudos for getting rookie to say the line stomp.

[@matthewmarek1467]

Solid callsign in the end, but I was just sure it was going to be Stomper. This is a hot start, hope this keeps going as a series!

[@suspiciouscheese4518]

Love the way you animate these guys. Only time I would describe building size war machines as cute.

[@spamuraigranatabru1149]

Question is, what kind of tanks will we be seeing in the near future?! 👀

[@VilkarinSalvokath]

I am proud to have been part of this and am excited to see the future growth of your IP, Boss! Hope you're still planning to make the game!

[@ryankruchowski1951]

You had one job....ONE......JOB!!! ROOKIE!!!!!

[@Ghent_Halcyon]

HMmmmm call signs, straight up forgot they existed.

[@warhawk4494]

This is funny as hell

[@dragoburnhard]

that was really good... animations and graphics are awesome

[@zsewqthewolf1194]

THIS IS WHY YOU TELL YOUR GUYS EVERYTHING BEFORE THEY GO OUT! really they could have say before they gone out "oh there is leprosy out break as of late, there in a train heading north of here make sure they get here safely" that's all they had to do

[@alexanderpoirier3350]

I have a theory for Bob’s nickname. He probably got his mech stuck in some water or on some floating debris during a mission and because he was bobbing up and down on the waves he got the nickname, “Bob”. Or because his mech was brightly painted as a distraction for the enemy, like a fishing bobber.

[@johnsmithjr.9321]

Dude that Karl Casey music is some dope ass beats for this.

[@pit2444]

I see you got White Bat Audio to do the soundtrack; proving once more that you are a man of impeccable taste.

[@techdragon38]

Zombie is a cool callsign. So... happy end? xD

[@flamingfirehawk5783]

love it, made my day :)

[@midnightfoxent5589]

Amazing work, love the story, voice acting and all

[@A88mph]

It's like if "Battletech" had a "Beast Wars" vibe.

[@redbaronsnoopy2346]

As usual, Absolutely Brilliant, Luv'd it!!! Thank you, look forward to more.

[@tantamounted]

Okay, see I'd be proud of a callsign like that, even though I know that the tradition is that a pilot's callsign is supposed to remind them of some mistake they've made.

[@David_Fellner]

Ohh, I get the title. It's because the guys stomp! But to be serious, y'all did great work. I look forward to seeing what other dumb callsigns Zombie lands himself.

[@user-wg8td5mb8x]

Delightful!

[@johndoe5432]

These animations are great!

[@Voicfulcornet5]

Love it.

[@aetherial87]

It's Battletech Red Vs Blue. Oh my God, yes.

[@themechbuilder6171]

is this going to be a series?

[@FarseerAnimation]

It certainly is!

[@themechbuilder6171]

@@FarseerAnimation omg this is so cool!!!!

[@tuomastall5836]

Nice episode. Poor (spoilers). Are these mechs your own design or are these from battletech?

[@FarseerAnimation]

Thanks! These are all original designs for the Stomperguys universe

[@Malefectra]

that's gotta be one of the bigger FNG screwups... 🤣

[@dmora2386]

Hahah dude! This has red vs blue(halo) vibes, but with mechs!!!

[@Marxman-bi5yu]

I feel like November 17 is an Arma 3 reference.....side note has anyone every played A-10 Cuba or Silent Thunder?

[@FarseerAnimation]

I have indeed! I was just two years old when I played Silent Thunder and it inspired me so much that the A-10 ended up here as a starfighter. As for November 17 that’s sadly just a coincidence as it’s a common callsign

[@Marxman-bi5yu]

@@FarseerAnimation Oh man I played both A-10 games when I was 3-4, obviously didn't get much into Cuba due to the hardcore nature of it but my mother put in the invincible cheatcode and infinite ammo and I had a ball. That is actually so damn cool to hear you had a similar experience inspire you so much. And fair with November!

[@BeyondtheBlade]

They said stop the train. They did not mention there were multiple trains. This is their fault.

[@Belgereth75]

Noice! Is that Rougaroux guy a couyon?

[@FarseerAnimation]

They certainly are!

[@Belgereth75]

Me too 😃

[@macrux152__8]

Ribeye, sounded good man, should've stopped there man.

[@Deepkeel]

Awesome as usual! What's up with the Stomperguys KZbin channel though? Is it someone stealing work or what?

[@FarseerAnimation]

That's an official channel, it's just dedicated exclusively to Stomperguys content, while this channel is animation in general.

[@Deepkeel]

Ah, I feel stupid for thinking it was anything else now. Thanks for clearing that up!

[@FarseerAnimation]

@@Deepkeel No worries! I've actually had a channel steal my video before. They reuploaded everything but snipped off all of the credits. Thankfully I managed to stop that. I am totally okay with anyone using clips or footage from my videos for their own content just as long as they don't pretend they made it themselves.

[@zsewqthewolf1194]

Wait a min…. How the flying hell there is leprosy in a eco go world?!

[@Dragonblade001]

Man I gotta find out how you guys animate this stuff. What programs and set up do you guys use?

[@FarseerAnimation]

Lightwave almost entirely, edited with After Effects

[@Kaiju-Driver]

Lol porkchop

[@starsiegeplayer]

Wierd.... your stuff from the last year never showed up on my subscription list. 🙁 Oh well, I get to binge watch now 🙂

[@Texan190]

These are so good.
