Must See: Nazi Robot Spider
 
These filmmakers have some talent, and the use of scale models = fantastic!

That armo(u)r is too thick for blasters, switch to cables.

The allies fight back...

A jeep with harpoon and tow cables might be able to do some real damage there.

And yet, when the thing falls over, its armor is suddenly weak enough for blasters to destroy it in one hit on a monoformed plate?:-?

Well, in any case, TLAM is right about these guys' talent. That's some pretty nice filmwork for having a budget of.....very little. And they even managed to match the realism level of Saving Private Ryan and Pearl Harbor! And they did this without stooping to hiring trained actors that suck! I'm quite impressed, and I mean that.

I thought it more martian machine in the classic sense.

Anyway, the German commander stands before this large open port on the front, and the combined might of an allied offensive battle front can't hit it!

Nice film though.

Nazi zombies... Now, it's Nazi spiders! :haha:

The only thing that'll work on it is a crop duster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4aqM_wu6Ns

Nice job though some of the explosion FX were a bit dull.

I don't understand why a big tank on legs would be better than a big tank on tracks, other than the height difference.:hmmm:

papa_smurf 01-21-11 06:29 AM

At the end "Okay, thats our que to go"

Nice to see not all US troops are gung-ho heroes.

Oberon 01-21-11 07:45 AM

Very nicely done, and like Smurf said, realistic withdrawal rather than gung-ho fight to the death. I could see the airforce taking it down easily enough though....get some Brits in with some Typhoons! :rock:

Really? And it was in colour on teh internetz and everything!:88)

You know, That German Spider-Tank Commander sat the entire battle in this observation area with rather big open window. Wouldn't it occur to the Allied troops to I dunno.... aim at that hole.:hmmm:

Anyways.

Spider Tank, Spider Tank, does whatever a spider tank does.

nah all you need is a cable gun, a lightsabre and a grenade :up:

Schroeder 01-21-11 10:11 AM

Now you guys finally know why we won the war.:smug:

UnderseaLcpl 01-21-11 10:34 AM

I hereby motion that we re-name the Nazi-robot-spider "Mechapanzer" because it sounds cooler and will help us capture the Japanese robophile demographic. Also, Nazi-robot-spider is akward to use in conversation.

LOL :haha: If the roles had been reversed in the movie and that had been an American spider-robot, it would have burst into flames and exploded. :O:

Considering they made the whole film with a budget of 2,000$ USD and not much outside support, it was pretty good.

Had this been a Hollywood action movie, they'd have been: "CHARGE!"

Correction, Army Air Corps. The USAF was founded after WWII ended. Unless you're talking about the RAF...

CGI explosions which they used don't cost much to make.:O:

Actually the USAAF was already in existence in 1944. United States Army Air Force was part of the 1942 division of the US Army by presidential order: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...rmy_Air_Forces
