"If they turn off, they might not be able to turn them on again": The charming reason behind Dawn of War 4's excitable, dancing mech
Dawn of War 4's creative director Jan Theysen explained that the Adeptus Mechanicus mechs are designed to constantly move due to a lore-based fear of them being unable to power back on if stopped. This led to the development team implementing a 'stamping and walking on the spot' animation for the units in the game. The article also touches on the lore behind the Ironstrider mechs and the challenges of depicting Titan drops in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
