Wanna be a real Mech pilot?

For about $1.4 million, you can own something that may actually make a Veyron owner's mouth drop to the floor. Maybe.

For $1 Million, This Company Will Build You an Actual Giant Mech. That You Can Drive. (http://kotaku.com/5930017/for-1-million-this-company-will-build-you-an-actual-giant-mech-that-you-can-drive)

[deolio]

i have one. it's not that fun.

[chuki.s13.coupe.]

You must have not gotten all the options...

[deolio]

psh yeah right, what's the point of getting a 1.4m mech without getting all the options?

that's like getting a wrx instead of an sti.

[s14j]

I am gundam!

[i<3chicken]

I think this is pretty cool stuff and can't wait to see the progress of this into real mechs. But at the same time I see this as just a starting point for some military use or a tweeker who can afford one and just destroys a city. Lol.

i dont think they would build it without some kind of remote override or kill switch for just that reason. 1.4m isnt much and those things can be heavily weaponized.

[simmode1]

Yeah, its cool to look at and it can be weaponized and outfitted to military grade armor probably. But my problem is its mobility. It's still a big ass slow target. I mean, once law enforcement hears there is a giant robot rampaging through the city, there are gonna bring the big guns out or call the National Guard to shoot tank busting rockets or high caliber shells at your ass. And this thing just isn't mobile enough to avoid taking heavy damage and getting blown to bits.

[fliprayzin240sx]

So does it come with brand new JCI?

[slowvia]

So wait, does it walk? Because I really don't want a robot that can't even walk.

[simmode1]

Looks like it just rolls. If that shit actually spider walked too, that would be creepy/badass.

[DS562]

yeah i was disappoint when i saw it was just truckasaurus' japanese cousin.

[Matej]

Wonder if it has a cup holder.

[K_style]

It's ugly as hell... I will just keep my S14 instead.. LOL

[alixander2012]

The only thing I could think about this whole post was the hours I spent playing mech commander, robotech and mechwarrior. I miss those days.

[thatdrifterguy]

this would be soOoOoO cool for the zombie apocalypse! oh mah gawd!

[blksylv]

I am gundam!

guessing you're setsuna f seiei lol

No shit, Sherlock.

I'm the one who published it. Now I'm bumping it with updates rather than junking up Zilvia with multiple threads on the same topic.

I'd trust a Chinese time machine even less than I would their shitty coilovers...

I'll admit that this thread got my inner nerd excited too. I'm surprised that this is the first time I've seen or heard about this. There really isn't anything much cooler then a real life mech battle!

Dammit, now I have the urge to watch Armored Trooper VOTOMS and Gundam again...

[simmode1]

Apparently, the Kuratas recieved 3000 purchase orders shortly after it's announcement & release. http://www.japantoday.com/category/lifestyle/view/1-35-mil-giant-robot-kuratas-draws-more-than-3000-orders . Probably mostly fake, but I bet there are a few around the world. I hope the fight spurs further development & a next gen model...

Thank you your grace. I too do not trust chinese time machines.

[KA24sleeper]

The kuratas reminds me of the early armored core games of the quad legs and the sub AT mechs on missions

[simmode1]

Update: Megabots are crowdsourcing to upgrade their Mark2 in time for the fight. Peep the new redesign. Bald Eagles rocking aviator shades mounted gatling shoulder cannons?!? RAWR!!! http://netdna.coolthings.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/megabots-mk-II-3.jpg

The amount of design help they're calling in doesn't really seem fair, buuuuuut whatever! Pause at 1:05 for cigar chomping 'Murican badassery.
