A real mech you can buy today...if you've 1.3 Million bucks lying about.

Level 3 Robot body with direct control and seating for a pilot?

All I know is...if I win Powerball, I'm going to drive it all over the country and say Hi to all of you.

Ha!

Did they really have a Japanese school girl in fishnet stocking demonstrate this!?!?
I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

Anime cliche, a school girl instead of a woman in an armored bikini. A regular viewer of anime would know this stuff.
It's going to be AT Votoms before it's anything else.

Dont miss understand me, I'm not objecting, I was just caught by surprise. But then again I should not be surprised by what comes out of Japan.

Now, does anyone think this might have been a joke? The water bottle launcher was shoulder fired, the dual BB gatling guns were never truly demonstrated, the video- as I understand it is more than a few years old, any company that has worked out the kinks on their robot would certainly produce a new video to promo the product- even if it was just cell phone video. This could have been very carefully filmed and edited without a really functioning robot when you come to think of it.

Last video I saw of a "functioning" mech had the mech supported by chains.

And of course a Japanese school girl in fishnet would serve the purpose of distracting you so that you dont think too critically about what you're seeing.
