I'm sure Suggestions of been made to add transport vehicals, is it to hard to program the heroes to sit when they mount a vehical? Perhaps its to difficult to keep vehicals sitting around, perhaps a solution to that would be an advanced solid hologramatic projector belt or other item worn like a backpack that either materializes the vehical or unfolds from the backpack, or is the backpack. One of the disadvatages might be the assembly and disassembly time.

And probably the vehicle/character scaling.
The solution is the Become Vehicles with powers of them own.

I've said this in many mount suggestion threads already:
If a mounted character uses an animation that requires his legs to move, the stance could just switch from sitting in the saddle to standing on it for a moment.

Other solution were : Make it like Bat-Flight .. and maybe a device so everyone can also
have still 2 other travelpowers.
This would also make more sense, since most real Superheroes (no David Hasselhoffs,
Jean Micheal Vincents .. ) use vehicles only to actual travel from A to B and then unmount
and fight.
There is an entire legacy of Japanese superheros that ride motorcycles in and out of battle. Two of them even ride trains! :biggrin:

Ok .. i don't really care about these 50's C-Movie style stuff from Japan i must say. I also don't
count every Gundam Pilot a Superhero. I think here more about Marvel and DC Stuff.
Else we also need to make chars that a 100 feet tall to make a good Gundam.
It's from 2009. --;
And these guys are legitimate superheroes. Except those that are villains. That clip was from a crisis crossover.
Anyway. Just wanted to show that some superheroes very well use their vehicles in battle.
Yeah .. but it just looks like 50's C-Movies
Wonder if Ed Wood had a reincarnation as a Japanese :biggrin:
Ed Wood couldn't get special effects remotely as good as those, those are even better than a lot of Roger Corman stuff and he had James Cameron working for him at one point.
But Ed Wood used off-cuts and store-bought model kits and a temporarily stolen rubber octopus without it's mechanism and made films with a special unique charm few can match.
Some of the early Japanese <b films are really quite good i think.
And lets remember the Japanese didn't invent Mecha, that was an Englishman (H.G. Wells who also invented the modern tank and the warplane in that he directly inspired the building of them). While Powered Armour was an American invention (E.E. "Doc" Smith in his Lensman novels, who also invented the technology for gluing sugar onto donuts and cereal!).
Lots of Wells ideas are in champions, that's who Wells Pass on monster island is named after. And His martians in their Mecha are in several DC and Marvel and other comics!
For example there's Killraven in Marvel comics, the superhero fighting against the victorious martian invaders http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/24/Amazing_Adventures_30_%281970%29.jpg
Then of course in DC Superman fought the Martians in their mecha http://www.war-ofthe-worlds.co.uk/images/superman_2_l.jpg
And who could forget the second volume of League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen where they battle the invading martian mecha? http://images.wikia.com/marvel_dc/images/b/bb/League_of_Extraordinary_Gentlemen_Vol_2_4.JPG (and if you look carefully the movie has a tiny reference to the coming martian invasion!)
So Mecha definately belong in the super-hero world.
Hmm you know this game could do with some invading martians.. i could bring my old webcomic character Supreme Martian Overlord out of retirement (who alas vanished from the interwebs with the death of geocities, though i still have a plush toy or two sitting around from the heyday) as a champions hero.
While she has been rescued
what diabolical mastermind
was behind the devious brain-napping of
the Volterrific Dr Cerebellum?
vehicles as a TP would just be weird,unless they had a total lockout on powers,which wouldn't be at all good,seeing as all good vehicles must have their own powers,and if powers weren't locked out,well that'd be a weird animation,imagine punches coming from a jet.Also a lot of superheroes use jets for combat,namely vigilantes and sometimes super soldiers,but even a superhero with superpowers has had vehicles before.

A mecha in that sense wouldn't even have to be a vehicle. If it moves like a human, a regular become device would be enough.
The hoverbike IS one of the new vehicles coming out, but its in the form of a become device with a character model, so you use its powers rather than yours.
