jebbers Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Remember the thread about the Japanese making mobile suits like gundam suits? Well its been made but doesnt run as smoothly as we have seen in anime but we havent gotten that far in technology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seph Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Looks like Chrome hounds or something along those lines. As soo as they can get it to move faster it'll be simply mindblowing if it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigundr Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Last time I checked, GUNDAMs actually lifted their feet off the ground and bent their knees. But still, great accomplishment for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Andrew Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Besides the obvious leg issue, those weapons could be stabilized more. Pretty cool otherwise. It kinda looks like an AT-ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-8252 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Pfft, check out Japan's game shows: http://youtube.com/watch?v=l19T6gzGEGs Hey, maybe China could copy that show, and they wouldn't have to have that one-child policy anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigundr Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Seriously. That thing touches a rock and it upends........ much less a bug. "On another subject, the Japanese launched their new roboit mobile suit in a last minute effort to turn the tide of the war with russia. They had some setbacks though, one being that the suit fell over a cockroach while loading the suit. They have lifted it up, but are still repairing the damage due to the guts splattered all over the wheels.........." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 That guy so cheated. The legs just slide. He might as well put it on tank treads and let the cockpit spin 360 degrees. I think it'd be a fun amusment park attraction though. Instead of bumper cars, set people loose in those things and have them shoot pingpong balls at each other.

Kids are much more violent these days, they need to load those things up with botchie balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight of Keno Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Old! But with new actual footage. Meh... The new Japanese vehicles(those that can either move like a car or in an upright position) are way more cooler. Soon we won't even have to walk anymore. Yay!

BasiliskJC Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I would have been impressed if the thing actually walked. I thought that it looked more like one of the mechs from the Earthsiege/Starsiege games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
