Has anyone noticed that the broadsides/swords whatever.. XV88's look EXACTLY and even pose the same way as the Mobile Dolls in Gundam Wing???
They even have the same backpack and shield drones floating around...
The reason I find this SO hilarious.. if it was the reverse GW would pull out the lawyers and cry foul BIG TIME!!

GW's never ripped off anything..
said no-one... ever

It is a very typical humanoid pose with long gun, whether expressed in a giant robot or a person.

I don't think the two examples given are that similar, actually.

For what it's worth, it has long been accepted that the entire Tau idea where derivative of the images seen on things like the Mobile Suit Gundam series and other Japanese animated movies and series.

well, the arms are different, the legs have no similarities I can see, the guns... nothing. both heads have 1 eye and 1 antenna but are very different shapes. thier backpacks don't have defining features.

what do you see that I don't?

Congratulations, you found pictures of robots. You want a cookie?

I think this thread has already yielded as much wisdom as is possible.
