[QUOTE=Neo222;36993287]Well yes, but perhaps the legs won't be actually used for walker. I just remembered Armored Core, where the mechs are of the humanoid build, but they use boosters and hovering instead of actually walking on most occasions. There are still the traditional walkers we know, but I think the hovering humanoid ones would be more possibly. Still, we'd have to build the wheeled mechs first before we work on the others.[/QUOTE] You know having those legs fro boosting and hovering, in reality would be useless? Humans aren't aerodynamic
[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;36993121]I'm pretty sure that if they make it fire real bullets, the U.S. Army will want some of these. You know the Japanese make good stuff.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure that even if it fired proper ammunition, no army would dare consider this. Very slow (10km/h max speed), about as visible as a tank and lacks a tank's main gun.
So does the lady come with it or not? I can't seem to find the option on the website.
I know what I want for christmas
[QUOTE=RichyZ;36993366]while chromehounds is more plausible than say, armored core or mechwarrior, its still pretty useless to use mechs when you have tanks that do the same thing, but are more durable, have less weakpoints, and can still attach a bunch of rockets and shit onto them.[/QUOTE] [video=youtube;fZ19vU_VJ4w]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ19vU_VJ4w[/video] Glorious flying tanks
Thing is that humanoid mechs are probably not going to happen, however exosuits are more than probable. Japan has those too, you know. Now, I'm not one to be afraid of technology, but when I see this, I'm afraid of future cops capable of lifting I-beams with their little fingers and also being capable of chasing me at 80 miles per hour running speed: [video=youtube;OW2pBLQLHj0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OW2pBLQLHj0[/video]
[QUOTE=RichyZ;36993401]this; mechs would be much better if they were designed with a spider in mind, rather than a human 8 really strong reinforced legs would be better than 2 stronger legs, but if 1 goes out, its fucked[/QUOTE] Well then the best inspiration then would be say, Ghost in the Shell.
-snip, I might be wrong-
The cheapest model costs $1.3 million, and they leave the cup holder as a $100 optional accessory I don't remember EA getting into the mech business
[QUOTE=IdiotStorm;36993487]The cheapest model costs $1.3 million, and they leave the cup holder as a $100 optional accessory I don't remember EA getting into the mech business[/QUOTE] Now introducing, tracer round DLC!
[QUOTE=RichyZ;36993384]an m1 abrams is around 4 million usd iirc[/QUOTE]And is superior in armour, speed, reliability and armament. Hell, a T-55 would wipe the floor with this mech. EDIT: Really, robotics aren't going to go much further in warfare than mostly human-sized bots or exoskeletons, i'd rather not have to explain once again the weaknesses of larger mechs compared to tanks or CAS aircraft.
Oh my... Saw the video and... Japan, please fuse with DARPA. NOW! This could even be unbelievably impractical, but fuck that, this is the most awesome thing I have ever seen.
If I ever win the lottery I will buy one and I [I]will[/I] smoke inside of it.
Smile to shoot function is fucking insane
[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;36993540]And is superior in armour, speed, reliability and armament. Hell, a T-55 would wipe the floor with this mech.[/QUOTE] a giant mech that fires water rockets that "once in awhile hit their target" and BB pellets has worse armament than an abrams thanks Sherlock
[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;36993585]You'll probably have to win three lotteries to get enough money for a fully tricked out version.[/QUOTE] Pfft, have you seen American lotteries? One Mega Millions win would be enough to buy an army of these things.
[QUOTE=latin_geek;36993588]Smile to shoot function is fucking insane[/QUOTE] Looks like something out of a Kodak camera.
Shoots by smiling. That is the most sadistic and awesome thing ever.
That name 'Kuratas' made me chuckle, because 'kutas' in Polish means dick/prick/cock.
OP OP NERF NOW OP
[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;36993701]Sad thing is, this would probably be taken down easily by just a couple of RPGs if you ever actually... tried using it...[/QUOTE] Your ellipses might get to them first
[QUOTE=B!N4RY;36993163]Imagine having a airsoft battle with nothing but these mechs, I'd totally want to participate in that. On the other hand when I looked on the website for the customization prices, this thing is obviously extremely overpriced. Just think about it, $12000 just to add a leather cockpit chair and $100 for a simple cup holder? That's insane.[/QUOTE] May as well buy it yourself and modify it.
I wonder if this thing is street legal in the US.

If it's smile to shoot, then if I had one I'd run out of ammo every time I enter it because I'd be laughing at the ridiculousness of what I'm doing.
I'll take 3
[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;36993875]A giant mech that fires water rockets and bbs from a gatling gun? Don't see why it wouldn't be.[/QUOTE] to be fair I don't honestly know of any statutes on mech-mounted weaponry in any Department of Transportation. I'm sure there's some stuff in there like "no JATO rockets on your roof" but I don't think the law has quite caught up with the mechanized hardsuit market.
only 76 tons to go and we can have Assault class mechs
Top speed 10 km/h, and then they show it in a CGI shot keeping up with cars that go well near 30 km/h. :v:
