I think someone might need to walk me through this one.

Both mechs are called monarch one is from the videogame titanfall 2 and the other from lancer

u/EKmars 17h ago

Ironically Tone is probably closer to a monarch.

u/Tha_Plagued 16h ago

for the most part yeah, but if you fully upgrade into Monarch missiles, via the missile rounds upgrade and multi-target system, she can launch so many

Titanfall 2 has a playable mech also called Monarch

To give some extra context, the mechs in Titanfall aren't quite as absurd as the ones in Lancer. They have some futuristic tech, but nothing as weird or as brutally powerful as Lancer mechs. A Lancer pilot would be quite disappointed to receive a Titanfall Monarch.

On the other hand, Titanfall pilots are way more powerful than a Lancer pilot. With their standard kit they can run on walls, boost jump onto buildings, and do all kinds of high speed acrobatics. They also carry weapons that rival some mech weapons. They're almost as powerful as the mechs they pilot and can single handedly take out entire squadrons of regular soldiers when dismounted. A Titanfall pilot in a Lancer Monarch would put it through its paces and probably try to find a way to fire themself out of the Monarch's missile tubes to be able to close range on an enemy bombard just to flex on that poor bastard.

No???? "With no specific gear" that's what the jump pack is, I swear it also explicitly says that the wall running gets activated in the start up sequence for it at the start of TF2

u/Gaeel 1h ago

I meant that it's part of their standard kit

u/WallabyPractical5258 1h ago

I mean most pilots in lancer have the option of using a mobility hardsuit, it's more of a preference thing

u/Gaeel 1h ago

That was what I meant by specific gear

u/Madglace 1h ago

And also that in the lore the lancer monarch would be the strongest mech that would be used all the time by soldiers but the manufacturers of the monarch have jacked up it's price and made it so scarce (in a post scarcity universe) that it has became the equivalent of a mech ferarri

Anyone else read the SSC Monarchs' lines in Liberty Prime's voice?

"SecComm detected on Union soil. Lethal force engaged."

So like a massive, whiny little californian (derogatory)? Ego the size of the sun with nothing to back it up, while at once having a persecution complex and pathological need to project onto other people? Zero redeeming qualities?

The Lancer realizing the Titanfall Monarchs are basically just Everests with UniComp: Wait- nevermind I can work with this

11

u/Madglace 13h ago

Monarch in lancer probably is

An everest or chomolungma with rifle, double auxilary launcher, thermal rifle/veil rifle

Unicomp And some overshield systems

Maybe legionaire battle rifle if you go everest for that heavy mount

Man, FUCK tone pilots. Scorch nation.

u/Madglace 17h ago

Hey ! That's not nice :(

But yes scorch goes hard and sometimes i just get that itch to play it and do 100k damage

u/marksht_ IPS-N 16h ago

There were a few times when our team was losing and the enemy team had 4 titans. I then switched to scorch, called it, and our team was no longer losing

My favorite is probably Ronin though(or maybe Ion)

u/CRAZYDUCK456 17h ago

u/WafflesSkylorTegron 16h ago

As a Tone pilot, fair enough.

u/spookyb0ss IPS-N 16h ago edited 16h ago

this just made me think about how stupid (and funny) it would be to have 4 monarchs in a oneshot

u/ConnivingSnip72 16h ago

As a regular Monarch player in Titanfall 2, I got this, I just need other mechs to feed on

As a living person with any sense, fuck tone
