"OBSOLETE" is a mecha combat animation in which Uribain Gen is responsible for the original animation. It mainly tells the story of aliens coming to Earth in 2014. They did nothing, but just traded commercially with humans, providing 1,000 kilograms of limestone to get their mecha EXO from aliens. The mecha EXO in the animation is hard to describe. The aliens provide a prototype, walking on both feet, and the upper body is very slender. The driver is exposed to read brain waves through the driver's seat for operation. For different purposes, EXO can be modified accordingly, and of course it can also be used as a weapon. The animation tells the combat use of EXO under 5 conditions (the last two episodes are one scene). OBSOLETE means "eliminated" in English. Mecha EXO is actually just a product eliminated by aliens. It caused disputes and also concealed the real purpose of aliens.

This time, we will combine cartoons with reality to discuss the future combat possibilities of small mechas on the battlefield.
episode 1 is called OUTCAST (somewhere in South America). The combat environment is a jungle area in South America. Tropical jungle areas are not suitable for large-scale troops' operations, and are more suitable for infiltration operations of small groups of troops. The same is true in the play. The US Marine Corps special forces arrived over the jungle on a C-130 transport plane, and the special forces team took a modified EXO mecha to parachute into the sky.
After reaching the water surface, the paddle board unfolds, heads towards the battlefield, and releases a drone for reconnaissance on the way.
After arriving at the battlefield, the enemy's equipment was obviously not as good as the US military, but it is equipped with mortar . Use a mecha state mortar, and the caliber should be above 120MM.
and the enemy also has snipers, causing considerable trouble to the US military squad.
The US military EXO team is impressively equipped with a laser irradiation device. Its huge size was originally thought to be a heavy anti-tank missile . Only when it is used can it be known that it is a laser system. Continuously illuminate the enemy's backpack, causing the enemy's mecha to explode.
GSC's model reflects the details of the mechas on both sides:

episode 2 name BOWMAN (CABINDA-2015). CABINDA/ Cabinda is a province in the northwest of Angola . This episode tells the story of a US military crossing the river in Cabinda. The terrain of Cabinda is flat and suitable for the development of heavy troops. The US Army's ferry bridges have been built to enable the tank troops to pass quickly.
However, during this period, the local resistance forces used EXO to destroy the floating bridge from underwater, causing the battle to cross the river to stop.
battle was transferred from water to land, and the EXO mecha of the resistance organization fought with the US military's M1 main battle tank . The African Black Uncle's mecha is quite simple. The driver uses the automatic rifle and RPG to fight against the tank while driving the mecha.
tank's advantage lies in the heavy armored guns, while EXO is flexible and maneuverable, and in the end, the tank's losses are greater.
I personally feel that this episode director overlooked another factor, armed helicopter .With the US tank troops fighting, there must be armed helicopter cooperation. If it appears in the animation, perhaps this EXO sneak attack will fail.
episode 3 is called MIYAJIMA REI (SIACHEN GLACIER -2016). It tells the story of In 2016, a mysterious man named Miyajima learned how to operate EXO mecha from Country Y. This mecha from aliens can read the driver's ideas, and the driver only needs to think in his mind, and the ideas can be executed.
At the border between Country Y and Country B, Miyajima took the initiative to defeat the mecha that Country B crossed the border in the snow-capped pursuit battle. Country Y's EXO is mainly equipped with machine gun turret, while Country B's EXO is equipped with anti-tank missiles, and the two sides fight on the snow-capped mountains.

hope GSC can also release EXO of Y Country as soon as possible. The fourth episode of
is called LOEWNER (PERSIAN GULF -2017). This episode tells the story of the establishment of a hiring organization, Hellhound, in 2017, which transformed the mecha into a powerful weapon and used its powerful performance to serve its employer. In a battle in the Persian Gulf, the "Hellhound" retreated on the spot because the employer broke his promise, and the "Hellhound" retreated. This disregard for civilians caused Ronna's dissatisfaction. There are three types of EXO mechas in this episode. One is the engineering EXO for port loading and unloading,
Another is the armed EXO
also is the diving EXO for enemy sneak attacks. There is an oxygen cylinder behind the cockpit and a bomb is stuck under the armpit.
This battle belongs to the guard of the stronghold, and the "Hellhound" organization is condescending. The EXO mecha equipment is better than the specialized diving EXO, but the task is given up because the commission is not negotiated.
This episode pays tribute to the "Armored Cavalry" series of the project Takahashi Ryosuke . The EXO paint and name of the organization Mercenary were withdrawn.

episode 5 and 6 tell a story: In 2016, in the Sahara Desert, local children were forced to become drivers of EXO mechas in order to resist the invaders. However, in front of the helicopter and the armored vehicle , they had no experience and could only make unnecessary sacrifices. Femal and his sister Qila were rescued by Zahir in a critical moment. Under Zahir's teaching, the children gradually became soldiers who could stand alone.
2021, with Zahir's efforts, the "Independent Front Headquarters" was established, and one country after another achieved peace, and Femal and Qila also became the chiefs, just like Zahir saved them back then, saving more people.
Battlefield nature: urban security war. A small group of resistance forces rely on city buildings to fight enemy armored vehicles and armed helicopters. resistance organization 's EXO is quite simple, and its weapons are even worse than those in the second episode. The weapons in their hands are just some gas tank bombs, and they suffer heavy losses when fighting with regular troops with these things.

From the perspective of animation, EXO is widely used, and the same skeleton can be adapted to different battlefield environments through different modifications. (EXO is 255CM tall and weighs 269KG)
But this is achieved with the support of alien black technology. In reality, exoskeleton technology is still in its infancy. Without solving the problems of artificial intelligence , materials, and power, there are still many cases where traditional weapons dominate the battlefield. This can only be imagined in the animation, but who can tell the future situation accurately?
