Who needs a Mech for fighting when you can use it to beat your daily commute? Let us clue you into all of the real reasons why everybody should be excited about mechs.
With the upcoming release of Respawn Entertainment’s Titanfall, we’re all re-realizing how awesome mechs are. Everybody on the planet should be pining for their own personal suit of exo-armor.
Why, you ask?
Well, perhaps not everyone would want a mech for warfare, we grant you that, but there are tons of ways people can use mechs that reach far beyond combat. The practical applications for mechs are endless. Don’t believe us? Check our top 10 uses for a mech in daily life.
TitanFall Daily Uses For Mechs
-
Flamethrower BBQ
It’s 4th of July and everybody is excited about Ted’s annual party, but not you. That guy doesn’t deserve to host such an awesome occasion and now you can finally steal his thunder. Using a mech to supply the fire for your BBQ will definitely dethrone Ted as the ultimate party-thrower.

Robot Boxing Matches
Have you seen Real Steel? Yeah, it wasn’t a good movie, but the premise was solid. There is nothing better than watching two mechs punching each other in the face.

Mobile Bomb Shelter
Afraid of tensions with Russia? Iran? Libya? Wow, the United States does have a lot of enemies… Anyway, be prepared! Drag your mech around with you and hop in at the first sign of danger. It can totally withstand at least some artillery. (Photo credit YOSHIKAZU TSUNO/AFP/GettyImages)

Automated Designated Driver
1. Don’t you hate trying to figure out who is going to D.D. on Saturday nights? Nobody wants to do it and the person who ends up volunteering is sacrificing an entire night of his (or her) weekend to be your babysitter. Lame. Good thing mechs have autopilot. Bonus: Take a nap as it drives you home!

Babysitter
Step 1: Put your kid inside the cockpit. Step 2: Leave. We didn’t say it would be a good babysitter.
-
Chainmail Crafter
Making chainmail is a giant pain in the ass. You have press them together, link by link. Pretty sure a mech could do this without much trouble.
-
Mobile Soundtrack Player
Imagine rolling up to work or school and the giant mech behind you starts blasting Europe’s The Final Countdown. You would literally never walk around without some sort of theme music in the background ever again.

Pacific Rim Reenactment
This is probably the first idea that you had when you saw this article. My question to you, where would you get the Kaiju, huh? No, seriously, tell us.
-
Train Delayer
Running 5 minutes late when you take a train to work or school is about the most annoying thing ever. You have to run and sweat and look stupid and you still might not make it… Or, send your mech ahead and just have it block the tracks until you get there. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)

Ultra Trash Compactor
Trash compactors are a great idea. The less space that trash takes up, the more room you have in your trashcans for more trash. This is just a hunch, but we’d guess that most mechs could crunch your already trash-compacted trash into an even smaller size. Score. (Photo by Quinn Rooney/Getty Images)
