Cloaked in science fiction, "Mobile Police" contains the background of the ultra-delicate airframe design "Mobile Police" and introduces the delicate body design Shinohara Heavy Industries AV98 - Ingram ARL-99B - Hell Messenger Shinohara Heavy Industries - ASUKA96MPL - Admiral HAL-X10 Robot Ryoi Industrial THL-97 - Pit Bulldog Scene and Instrument Setting Finally

Mobile Cop is a very good anime work many years ago. On April 8, 1988, the Mobile Cop comics began serialization in Shonen Sunday. Since then, Mobile Cop has also released two OVA animations, one TV anime, three theatrical versions and one live-action version.

When Mobile Cop came out, there were already many super robot animations such as Gundam and Chrono Fortress.

But "Mobile Cop" is very different from these works, "Mobile Police" does not have the firepower that can flatten the city without moving, nor the super mech that can travel through space, but only the robot that scrapes the bicycle and the daily ground of a group of sand sculpture drivers.

The robot in "Mobile Police" is set to maintain the so-called "sense of reality" as much as possible.

For example, the police robot in the setting is agreed to be seven to eight meters high, which is almost equivalent to the height of two floors. Another example is the shape setting of the robot, many of which do not have a "human type", and the appearance is similar to the large machinery commonly found on the construction site with a few extra legs. These forms are very easy to visualize in the reader's mind.

Not only is it grounded in the design of the body, but what these robots do is also very grounded. Robots are mainly used in industry and daily work, including demolition, lifting, handling and so on.

And the battle between the robots is basically based on the fight, as described in the comic: "Two walking machines are fighting each other, the situation is really tragic, it is really a low-level battle!" ”

Such a design, which extracts the reader from the earth-shattering space opera, is very easy to materialize people's imagination and thus connect with what they see in real life.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > background and introduction to Mobile Cop</h1>

The background of the story of "Mobile Police" is also very simple, set in the early 21st century, due to the growing population and the sinking of land, the government decided to reclaim the sea near Tokyo Bay and build the cosmopolitan city of Tokyo with the "Eternal City of Babylon" as the blueprint.

In order to cope with this huge project and improve work efficiency, large robots for industrial use were developed, called "Labor".

These robots are used in the field of engineering and construction to replace humans to do heavy work, but it is precisely because of the widespread use of robots that corresponding robot crime cases have also been derived.

So the police department set up a new department, Special Vehicles Section 2, to respond to the crimes of such robots in society by using dedicated police robots (Patlabor).

This high-sporty humanoid police robot is a new model developed by Shinohara Heavy Industries, a leading heavy industry design manufacturer in the Label industry, through the AV (Advanced Vehicle) program - Ingram.

There are many Abbreviated nouns involved in the work, such as the common words mentioned above:

LABOR: Robots.

PATLABOR: Police Robot.

Special Vehicle Section 2 (SV-II): Special Vehicle Division 2, Metropolitan Police Department Security Department.

AV Program: Short for Advance Vehicle program (I guess you misunderstand AV).

< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > delicate body design</h1>

The body design of Mobile Cop is a must. In the section view of its setting set, its detailed structure can be clearly seen.

Many of these mechanical structures, such as mechatronic design details, as well as cockpits, controllers, hydraulic levers, transmission structures, and even line layouts, are depicted in great detail.

In the work, the corresponding professional terms have also been designed for these mechanical structures, which makes people look very authentic. Like what:

Hyper Operating System: A super operating system.

Super Conductor Battery: Superconducting battery. The battery is responsible for providing the power of the body, and the battery made of superconducting material has a low resistance, so the volume is small and the energy is sufficient.

Super Conductor Linear Motor: Superconducting linear motor. Battery-driven motors, also using superconducting technology, thereby driving various parts of the body.

Hydraulic System: Hydraulic system. It is also used in reality.

In the "Mobile Police" series, many different types of airframes were also created. Let's take a look at these wonderful designs.

There are other more body settings, because there are more of them, and there will be a chance to release them one by one for everyone later. (Interested friends can pay attention to Oh ~)

< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > scene and instrument settings</h1>

In the series of "Mobile Police", there are also many excellent scenes and equipment settings. The perspective effect of the scene setting diagram is also good, and the design of large tools and instruments is also very detailed.

Although cloaked in science fiction, the "Mobile Cop" series depicts a large number of stories close to real life, reflecting many phenomena in society at that time. Its series of works includes manga, anime, live-action versions and many other forms, the original animation directors and production teams (such as: director - Oshii Mori, script - Ito Kasunori, character design - Takada Akimi and others), many people later became the team of "Ghost in the Shell", and now have become famous Japanese big names.

Although the fame of "Mobile Police" is no longer the same as it was today, it still can't hide its many excellent points. Hopefully, we'll see it shine again in the future.
