capiendosays:
cool. more like a land-shuffler tho.
Copperh3adsays:
Yeah, this thing is old news and not that impressive.
I mean nice build and all, but it doesn’t exactly have walker functionality. This thing would trip over stuff a wheeled vehicle could drive over.
DGarysays:
honestly, the tennis ball guns this thing has are more impressive than the shambling “walker”
eccramersays:
What more do you guys want? It’s a freaking GIANT ROBOT from JAPAN. Pah, this guy can’t be bothered with trifles like “functionality”, he’s to busy being AWESOME.
figgalicoussays:
This guy gets an A for Effort, but mechs like these will never be practical, a person with gumption like this could be breaking new frontiers with Biomorphology in robotics
spongebathesays:
It’s already begun.
Laugh at me now, but mark my words; The Japanese are in a silent arms race to develop giant robots.
When Japanese giant robots (giant, like power rangers zord giant) start effortlessly demolishing buildings, you’ll realize the irony that they figured out a non-nuclear alternative to levlleling a city. And they won’t hesitate to snub that in America’s face.

Think about it, this is a PROTOTYPE. In 15 to 20 years, a military production version could probably dance on a dime while gunning down an infantry division. Now if it could transform like an Autobot, that would be cool. It could go from a rolling tank to a walking mech!

I think that Tony Stewart has the best duelling exoskeleton at the moment. Its all well and good though. My fantasy robot legions will dance on the head of a pin.
