Overall it seems okay. Things like competitive balance and all that check out.


There's a handful of grammatical problems around the page, many are simple errors like it's/its mix-ups but there's a few others you might want to run by a spellchecker or something. There's actually quite a few sentences in the page which don't seem to have an ending - the biggest culprit is the single sentence in the "About the Cyclops" section.

There's a lot of headers with not too much text underneath them, it would be a great help if this was fixed; Some of the information might be able to be combined, but other segments(such as the "about" section) would need expanding, regardless.


Aside from that it's in pretty good shape, though!
 
The Ravager doesn't seem to be a good candidate for Tier 8. It must have snuck in there during the birthing pains of DRv3. It doesn't belong there and was edited out. Thanks for pointing it out; since it entirely fits in half-a-tennis-court, it's likely a Tier 7 unit.

The Nodachi is a more proper example of a Tier 8 unit.

I've taken a look at the Cyclops and it seems to slightly exceed the half-a-tennis-court guide. Its tonnage largely exceeds most units in tier 7 - I mean, the thing is nearly as tall as a 3-story appartment building. Its punch would probably trash through an entire room.

That seems to make it a plausible candidate to be seen as a Medium Mecha. Hardly the biggest Tier 8 specimen, but it appears to fit the profile.

When I read the sizes I read the weight and did a double take, wondering if it was right.

What do you mean by "Fight for" and "Have it?" Genuinely confused here, not trying to be passive aggressive >.<
 
Oh gosh, don't look into it. I was trying to say politely that I disagree but I missed the polite part, I guess.
 
Well, you're allowed your opinion. Personally , I don't agree and I'm under the impression that Fred is okay with this being in tier 8, so I don't see the problem. But I do have a bit of bias here so take that with a grain of salt.

@Arbitrated what's your take on all of this?
 
I don't really see the problem, either! I'm not going to worry about it too much. Whatever Arbs thinks is what I'd go with if I were you, but that's the last I'll say on the matter.
