Look at it this way: you're not the only one who saw it, so it can't be just you reading too much into things.

Megadeus, or megadouche?
Because hey, that show also spawned Beck.

...did you quote Iron Man 2 on purpose, or am I just seeing things where they aren't?

Oh, good, someone spotted that. C'mon, this story's almost as much a love-letter to the mecha genre as it is an actual story. I had to do Iron Man -some- credit!
I'm trying to keep it a -bit- more cohesive and sensible than Pacific Rim (seriously? Let's build a wall to keep out the giant, city-destroying monsters and decommission our only defense against them! That makes sense, right?), though that's going to be extremely difficult. This -is- NGE.
That said, IRC-crew, y'all are verboten from spoiling this, but...
I have a question. Did y'all spot the spoiler on what the Army's new machines are?

Nope. Project Dissonant Silver is not made up of Metal Gear.

Well they use the term "monster". Zoids?

Hmmm. No. I'll give y'all a -little- hint.
What is the opposite of a dissonance?
Also, if y'all figure it out...it's not the first thing you think of. The 2-69th is not a fighter wing, they're an armored battalion. That means shit like tanks, APCs, and other land-bound vehicles that are just designed to make the bad guys have a really, really bad day.

It's the Serenity, isn't it? That, or they're in giant, technicolor robot horses.

We define dissonance differently, I guess.

A dissonance is a chord or tone that is not in tune or harmonious with the rest of the melody. The opposite of a dissonance is, then, a Harmony.
It's not Jaegers. It's not the Serenity.

This help?
It's even at about the scale I need, too! This is a Tomahawk. Stripes and Jake are not going to be in this.
Dissonant Silver.
Harmony Gold.

Hey, stop ninjaing me, I was busy googling Robotech stuff. Never seen it so I had to look it up. I assume it's this then?This help?

Did no one else open the link he posted earlier? It's the Robotech theme, which should be a big clue.Looks like Battletech to me, but then Battletech basically stole all its aesthetics from [REDACTED]

....I can honestly see that. It does not help, whatsoever, remembering the SDF-1 Macross could turn into a -fuck-off huge humanoid murderbot-. Titans, anyone? But no.
This is from the Robotech saga. It's called a destroid. Pictured, specifically, is the MBR-04 Tomahawk.
ARMAMENTS (in my 'fic):
2x 40mm Gauss Rifles
3x Missile Launchers
2x 12.7mm Machine Guns
2x 25mm Vulcan Autocannons
4x 180mm Direct-Fire Mortar
2x Positron Cutters
Yes, @Betatrack, you are correct, sir!

Other way around. Robotech stole all their designs from a North American robot thing.Looks like Battletech to me, but then Battletech basically stole all its aesthetics from [REDACTED]

Huh? Robotech is just Macross and two other anime mashed together for American audiences.

Robotech's been around since 1985.
BattleTech (the earliest relevant 'North American robot thing') got its start 5 years later, and actually got into some serious dust recently with Harmony Gold about stealing their mech designs.
Transformers also got hit pretty hard, actually, because Jetfire was a -picture-perfect copy- of Rick Hunter's VF-1J Valkyrie.
Pretty sure Robotech's the thing errbodeh else be rippin' off.
