Does it even matters if these designs are not actually feasible?
Like, employers actually request you to considerate gravity centers and stuff?

Also I don't think I have seen info on actual design ITT.

I would love a more schematic guide on types of locomotion, like this one but showing the mechanical limitations of each one, more visual.

>its just teens jacking off to things they find cool.

You say that like youth and masutrbation are inherently bad. Besides most pictures of mecha I have are from similar threads on /m/, where people have been watching mecha for decades, who can tell you who the illustrator is and the overall style of each decade. And have probably downloaded gigabytes or even over a terabyte of data and share their own favorites.

There is no engine better to search with than the human mind, google will only get you so far.
