So how would you draw this damn thing without clashing with the aesthetics of the setting?

Make it look more rudimentary, I guess.
So no rubber tires for one.

Doesn’t bending make this thing obsolete?

More like the other way around when you don't need to be a bender to lift things

Most people aren't benders.

Fantasy settings are never supposed to be utilitarian. Practicality defeats the intrinsic idea of fantasy. If you're going to design a construction machine, then go balls to the wall. It's fantasy, make it fantastic.

No brainer

Replace man with firebender and maybe tires for treads

It's not just some fucking robot that lifts shit?

One of the underestimated things in world building is deciding how magic affects technology growth. Avatar is traditionally good at this. It would make sense for the fire nation to have some sort of device for this.

Honestly I was really taken aback by how fast technology changed from ATLA to LOK

I wouldn't.

So the fire nation somehow has access to hydraulics and rubber?

Literally googled: "late XIX century forklift" and got this kino design. Irene Koh is a self hating chink and a dumb bitch.

It doesn't even fit the Fire Nation aesthetic, it's literally just another model that they found somewhere pasted into the comic.

She's an attractive winner and you're a seething incel.

...

>Attractive
She's got the jawline of a man, what are you even on about?

Stop seething.

It should be a sentient robot that lifts shit and it's made of platinum.

dilate, simp

That's the problem, it doesn't look like the Fire Nation invented this. It looks like a modern-ass forklift you'd see today.

Well with the giant drill crawler they must have used a hydraulic system.

Could a forklift work in the the North/South poles? I feel the tires aren't designed for snow/ice conditions.

fair point

that art is from Team Gurihiru

We know their world is advancing fast, but with how old Sokka is there, I don't think it could advance that fast.

If they were dead set on using a forklift, they could have at least made it look older or more stylized to fit whatever nation it's coming from. Not like, ceremonially adorned with ornaments; but we saw different looking machines between nations.

If they were smarter, they'd use an older-designed fork lift or a pallet. The pallet makes the most sense, since there's nothing mechanical about it, but they could use the older forklift design and use it as world building.
>"Some inventor from another nation invented this machine that takes electricity and makes the wheels go. It doesn't go that far before you have pour more fuel in, but it's better than having to lift it ourselves"

They'd still have to rely on hoisting it themselves and it might not ever have modern tiles, but just literal wheels. Anything is better than a modern-day forklift.

Gee, I wonder which is more economical.
