Come! Kneel down and sacrifice yourself to this historic weapon! Consider it an honor, a gift from your brother. Now you shall bear witness to the demon weapon that will drag the world into the 21st century!

Yeah, I heard about that a couple days ago. Awesome.
Dude!! That's sweet!!!
I never thoguth I'd see this kind of stuff in my lifetime.
Mobile Suit Gundam rules!!
Pardon my french, but holy, that smurfing rocks.
I don't know about you, but that things looks more like a Magitek Armor to me ^_^
Hail Zeon!
1.5km per hour? Seriously I can walk faster than that. Make it faster, give it rocket boosters, kit it out with a chain gun and some explosives, and then we'll talk.
While listening to Xenosaga the other day and thinking about the robotic suits (AGW's right?) I really had to wonder why weapons like them werent already made. Theyde be such great weapons.
alright magiteck armors coooool
vut something is missing
give me fuel, give me fire, give me that wich i desire :evilking:
It fires sponge bullets. :-/
so cna we RP at tGA with a Gundam now?
It fires sponge bullets in the hands of a kindly cartoon-loving Japanese man. In the hands of a government leader with any amount of ambition, it quickly becomes capable of firing a nuclear warhead FROM ANY LOCATION ON EARTH
Damn, now that was funny. Really.
"YOU HAVE GONE TOO FAR. TOO FAR!!!" :D
I had heard about that at Sakura Con and passed it up without much notice. I must say though that looks both amusing, cool, and somewhat scary, given how mecha combat might affect our warfare.
Do they come in pink? :love:
I hope so. And with flowers and hearts as the design. And they shoot out heart shaped bullets ^_^ And that has to be pink or red too, red like blood.
And shinier, it's not shiny enough. A bit of a shimmer wouldn't hurt, too, y' know?
I'm waiting for the producer to change his name to Big Boss.
Wow thats great now this will replace warfare and the art of war will be even more dangerous.I'm not chearing this guy on for greating another weapon.
but man it looks so damn cool!!!!!!! :D

I imagine the development of a robot will lead to something as portrayed in the anime "Patlabor". If you've not seen it, I pity you.
Essentially though, they'll be built for construction and the like until people start hijacking them for crime. Although I imagine they'd also make their way into the army.
lol "Construction" eh?lol are you sure its construction.lolQuote:

1.5 kph is just fundamentally useless, unfortunately.
Every time I think the Japanese couldn't get any cuter, they prove otherwise. God damnit I love the Japanese.
SNAKE, WE'RE NOT TOOLS OF THE GOVERNMENT, OR ANYONE ELSE! FIGHTING WAS THE ONLY THING....THE ONLY THING I WAS GOOD AT. BUT AT LEAST I FOUGHT FOR WHAT I BELIEVED IN .........SNAKE.....FAREWELL.
Oh, I read about that developing when I was 7. Nothing new.
I've heard about that. Apparantly it would probably fall over if you tried to get of the kurb of a street and it does more of a sliding/crawling motion than a walking motion. Imagine an ice skater in really slow motion and you'll get an idea.
Yeah, it would make a nice addition to Japan's Self-Defence Force arsenal.
Damn cool.
I bet the Shagohod started like this too.
This is accurate, I watched the videos on the site, looks incredibly clunky and unstable. The legs don't lift when it walks the feet just slide across the floor in a sort of walking/sliding motion.Quote:

I want one. :mad2:

Bush, don't get us in a war with Japan.
Yes, they would crush America with Gundam prototypes.
Pretty soon we'll have space colonies.
Sweetness.
Won't happen.they barely have a military and aren't allowed to have a big or even medium size military.Due to the fact that they can produce fast and move fast and the USA would have to worry about their west coast.Quote:

Just wait a couple of years when we get technology in its fullest form. In which destrution is a push of a button away :P.
ITs already like that!!!were have you been these past 60 years of inovating weaponary tech and rocket systems?
I can't belive someone said that they think this thing would have to move at 40 Kph to be useful.
Do you have any Idea how slow some Tanks are? OMG!!!
If it could move on un-even ground and move at 10 Kph then the military would have already Stolen the thing from him.
Think about this... Humans Can not Run at 40 Kph, do you think humans are useless for the military?
That's still really slow, but fast enough that it can actually go places reasonably fast.Quote:

Sure, but it'd still be very vulnerable to strikes from the land or air. It's not very big, so there's not a lot of room for armour.Quote:

The fastest humans can reach 42... but people aren't military machines. You never get into a dogfight where one tank is duelling with one enemy soldier, except in video games. Armed vehicles have got to be able to move; soldiers on foot have other uses.Quote:

The US Militarie's M1 Abrams can go up to 60 Miles per hour. That' about 100 KPH, right?

Some guy in alaska is also making a mech (in the hopes of eventualy creating a kind of an arena robot battling sport.)
Yep, 60 mph is almost exactly 100 kph. And the M1 is one of the largest and most formidable tanks in use today, right?Quote:

I guess that balance would be a key issue in the creation of a machine like this. It's got to be able to adjust its centre of gravity, just like a person does subconsciously, in order to take proper steps without nearly falling over all the time. This'd be especially important for non-flat terrain.
