I think the epilogue gives a hint of where things could go, but we aren't done with the Neverwar yet either!

Ha, no worries, the problem with social media is that there is always somebody out there who is genuinely confused, and making jokes back at them gets them even more confused.

No this is Tankhead! But our animal mechs are a homage to Zoids, for sure. Tankhead mainly features bipedal humanoid mecha however.

The Graf Zeppelin, A Jethead carrying Shiphead from Tankhead artbook by Emerson Tung and Tim popelier

Most shipheads stand upright in a human-like posture, but when designing an aircraft carrier shiphead this can be a challenge. The Graf Zeppelin used a stooped configuration first developed for the Panzerblitzechse II to increase its launch deck length.

Its also worth noting that Shipheads can only operate on land for a limited amount of time before their systems overheat or give in to other types of attrition. But for a ship, that "short hop out of the water" is still a tremendous advantage.

The Alliance was always on the cutting edge of air combat. From the "pigeon" bomber which was a bit too ambitious for its time, they moved on to some of the most iconic and effective Jetheads of the Neverwar.

The Hirotada was a Type 00 unit modified for commander use. I thought it would be cool for the communication equipments to mirror Sengoku era props like the war fan and sashimono banner.

That's what air cover is for, so your giant silly war machine doesn't only eat up all your funds but tie up half your air force as well!

Tankhead type 00/A2 Urashimataro, amphibious light bipedal mech

The Type 00/A2 is often lauded as the most effective amphibious tankhead of the Neverwar. Some historians have also speculated that its hollow floatation pontoons effectively functioned as spaced armor, protecting it from HEAT projectiles when they were introduced late in the war

It was severely understaffed when deployed but estimates go up to 60 crew members if all essential positions are filled with another 500 dedicated support and maintenance staff required for operation.
