So this artist in Japan is supposedly getting ready to start selling a working mech.

Base price is around $1.4 million, so start saving!

There were a few part where I thought ti all looked fake. Every other part was me thinking "They did it! They actually **** did it!"

Anyone want to lend me $1.4million?

I wonder how future ones will be built. My guess is they're going to be like Gundam builds.

I cant wait for the televised (Or underground) blood sport these things will bring. Could you imagine, Battlebots, but with THIS?

Like a mech fight club. If I was rich, I'd buy this, replace BB guns with real miniguns. I would mod the s*** out of it.

It'd be so totally more bad ass if it were bipedal. They have a bipedal one, but its SLOW and clunky, and stupid looking, not like this thing. Rev up the engine output, up the armor plating, revamp the weapons, and up the movement speed of the limbs, and you've got one mean ass war machine!

It's very awesome looking, but it has guns. Why? I know guns are fun and all in a fantasy setting, but in the real world? Yes they are meant for "fun" in this case, but I didn't like how they casually brushed it off, and implied targeting living creatures.

Ok, enough dogging it. I do think it's really cool, though not much of a practical purpose. And at $1.4 million, that's pretty cheap isn't it? I think that's about what it costs for a single missile on an F-22 or something.

Yes, but after all the military modifications made, this thing would skyrocket from 1.4 mil to over 100 mil, no doubt

Yeah, I found that kind of odd too. A BB gun isn't really going to do major damage, until you fire 6000 per minute. And it's activated by smiles, that's just straight-up freaky. Was the Joker part of the programming team?

Exactly. What if I'm talking to a friend in it and they tell a joke or just something funny. You laugh your ass off and when you look up, they're just looking back at you with bruises all over their face looking pissed. I do like the auto lock on system though.
