Ohh, boy! This show is right up my alley! It's like if you took "Pacific Rim" and "Power Rangers" and mixed them together. It has action, fun characters, and some pretty good humor.
Ryan is a teenager who discovers he has the power to control technology around him, and that these people are called Technopaths. He finds out someone knows about his ability, and built a giant robot suit that only he can pilot. He's told that he, his 2 friends, and his brother, need to work together in the suit to fight the monsters that are being created and attacking the city. Ok, so the CGI in this show for the monsters isn't the best, but hey, it's a TV budget, I'm willing to be forgiving. The monsters actually have some really cool designs. Each monster is a hybrid of two different animals. One's half crab and half baboon, one's half Jaguar and half Stegosaurus, One's part T-Rex, Rhino, and Scorpion, you get the idea. These monsters are really cool, and some are actually pretty terrifying. There's also a lot of wit from the main characters, especially the character of Harper. He's basically this universe's Tony Stark, complete with the same personality. The action is pretty fun to watch, reminiscent of shows like Power Rangers, and there's actually some really good and surprising twists in some of the episodes. This show is obviously a niche, and it's not going to be for everyone, but if you love Pacific Rim or Power Rangers, than check out MECH X4.
