Go to youtube, punch that in, and prepare to get your socks rocked!

Is this the video?

That's pretty original. Did that german robot have an inversed Nazi swastika or was that my imagination?

It did, Deev. The one on it's left arm was 'inverted' compared to how the Nazis usually used the swastika. Curiously, the swastika on the right arm was a proper Nazi one. I can only assume that the animator mirrored it.

And hot damn that thing takes some skill! It didn't just rock my socks, that's for sure!

The inverted swastika is a buddhist symbol, isn't it?

The swastika is a buddhist symbol, but is also used in many other religions. The tilted swastika is a nazi-symbol.

Pretty spiffy. I'd love to see what those folks could do with CBT units.

Danke for the clarification.

I noticed the same thing. It's weird though, every other swastika in the film is correct, and this reversed one is prominently featured more than once. Odd that something like that would be missed, when the animators payed such close attention to other details. Such as at 3:12, you can see that the patches on that naval officers suit aren't simply "stickered on" textures, but actually have volume of their own, separate from the clothes.

Also, all humanoid mechs should have have high-caliber machine-gun nipples.

Wow, that was really good.

Yeah, I would so want to see this done with Battletech, especially Star League or pre-clan.
