wow, RTFP. It says "You'd think... Wouldn't require..." Seeing as "You'd" is an abbreviation for would, then the sentence is,
"You would think that a 13-foot / 2 ton, cast iron Scopedog mecha would not require the services of a knee-pad wearin' festival waif, but there you have it."
So please, read your contractions correctly before schooling people on "correct" grammer.
Or Rickane... it just might be possible that they read my post and corrected it. You are reading the story 10 hours after it was posted. It was changed hours ago. My quote of what they said was correct at the time. Thanks, anyways.

"You wouldn't think / wouldn't require"
I'm not normally a stickler for this kind of stuff...but that was one too many "would not's" to be correct.
Also, I'm pretty you don't say 1:1 scale... you just say it's scale. Oh well. Ya'll can rate me negatively now. LOL

Scale implies that it's done to a reduced or enlarged scale, 1:28 or 28:1, etc. Whereas 1:1 implies normal size.
