Even through all of this, Mecha Shiva still doesn't click in my head for some reason. Sorry, it's been a slow week. XD

Really? A 60-foot robot that lights up and moves? Who the hell's paying for this thing?!?
They said 18 meters. 1 meter being equal to 5 feet makes it 90 feet tall. So essentially its as tall as a 9 story building. And I think the millions of dollars made off the gundam franchise should cover the bill.[/quote]


Um cant believe this was left like this for so long...

1 Meter=A little higher than a yard=a little more than 3 feet
So if you do the math...
Carry the 2....
Roughly 54 ft tall, not 90 ft. A robot that size would surely seem like an act of war =P

Well, I guess looking up the exact measurements wouldn't hurt. 1 Meter = 39.37 inches or 1.094 yards.
Its 59'6'' tall! And this is obviously only the prototype. They're smart enough to build the 90 foot war machines in an underground facility.

It looks like a Gundam, but it plays by Evangelion rules. It has Michael Jackson's soul in it and Blanket is going to be the pilot.

Ah! That explains how it can be 54, 59.5, and 90 feet tall all at the same time!

No, Evas grow and shrink between almost every scene. No one ever really established how big they are so even though they're drawn well the scale is in 1970's-ville.

like how in one scene they're bigger than a hill, but in another scene they can be carried by a plane, and are only slightly smaller than a tall building (smaller than a hill ._.')

Exactly. And their size compared to humans and cars and things is always interesting...
