all I could think of was the four legged option in Armored Core.

Well, through my current income through multiple businesses and investments, I can afford this baby in 9-12 months. Perhaps if in a couple years I will get one, instead of buying on in 9 months and using almost all my assets.[IMG]http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/599835_4336735587461_714132223_n.jpg[/IMG]

Weapon laws are extremely strict in Japan, the BB gatling gun and the rocket launcher thing is probably a proof of concept type deal. If they made this in the U.S. they probably would have put real weapons on it. Honestly this thing would have the most potential in riot control if the weapons were toned down and modified a bit.

The smile to shoot thing was kinda creepy to me. I could imagine some crazed villain just laughing as people fell. Even with just BB's taking that to the street could cause serious damage. Also a lot of the stuff like Water missile launcher, BB shooter, 10km/h is all so that it can be sold. Could you imagine them selling a Mech to general public that had a fully operational missile launcher, machine gun arms, and could move swiftly.
So going to fight angels in this thing.

[QUOTE=Griffster26;36995969]So going to fight angels in this thing.[/QUOTE] Best part is that they have EVA-01 Color too.

[QUOTE=Ataso;36996297]plan on running through Syria? :v:[/QUOTE] no it's just cool as hell
Okay, so are there any videos of it doing basic locomotion? 'Cause I don't see the hype if they can't even show it travelling a small distance.

[QUOTE=Neo222;36993222]This is one step closer to mecha warfare. This may not work at the moment, but with the right ideas, it will work. Replace the wheels for example with say, tank treads or some wheel that can't easily be shot off, improve the armor, etc, and then we got a working mech. Not like the walkers mind you, we are still struggling with that.[/QUOTE] What's the point in making a mech with treads or wheels? That would be just like a tank, except the cockpit would have to have tank armor, and have arms. Take out the arms, you're screwed.

As a result of trench warfare the war became entirely static. By this same logic infantrymen also became useless as they were not able to go over the top, into the no man's land between trenches, something the horse couldn't do either. True, cavalry was often not used in the frontlines when opposing armies were entrenched, but to say that this is the reason why they were entirely phased out is not entirely true, simplest example would be that horse cavalry was used to fair use in the African and Middle Eastern front, and they were also used as beasts of burden. Tanks came to replace them in the role of cavalry ONLY after certain issues with cost and maneuverability were resolved (Tanks were slower than horses until at least the mid war period, the concept of the rotating turret, which is what pretty much made them better also arised after WWI, breeding a combat horse is also cheaper than making a tank any day of the week). I use it merely as an analogy to future developments in armored warfare. There are certain things that current tank designs can't overcome. Tanks are rather ineffective in urban warfare as they are extremely susceptible from fire from above, IEDs and mines which they can't easily outmaneuver. A mech, with its multiple limbs (Less surface area to actually step on, less chance on stepping on a mine, if you make it actual legs instead of wheels you can actually maneuver through a minefield, with care at least) can have the mobility of infantry with the firepower and armor of tanks.
[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] It's a LONG way to go before something like this is military capable.
