AllseerDo you see any kaijus?
Not Yet but im Shure i can Summon some if necessary…
dangblingusWhen we figure out how to genetically engineer robots to not be robots but be aliens that are also robots that also are your dead mom.

KairuByteI don’t know that I’d call this wasteful or worthless. Does it have a current application? Likely not. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be built upon.
This is a hobby for a man-child with more money and time than sense. I bet you the speed that the arms move in the video is the max they’re capable of.
This will never be useful for any actual work. Someone might eventually buy it for a publicity stunt.
I for one, wish to welcome our new mech-overlords who cannot climb stairs.
Didn’t Captain Disillusion already debunk this…?
Different co in SK.
The demands of space exploration weight reduction, weight reduction, compactness and weight reduction.
The demands of disaster relief are probably all terrain mobility, strength and stability.
Those attributes are polar opposites.
SteveIf you sit in a seat, it’s not a suit.
“Leg scooter” didn’t test well with consumers 😹
Pat_RiotGundam series mobile suits all were piloted from a seated position.
Gundams aren’t suits either.
And the ones in aliens were but they didn’t call them that. Being a bit pedantic aren’t you.
The Aliens power lifters are on the border of “Suit”. You stand in them. The arms and legs have your arms and legs inside them, and they move as yours do. So yah I’d call that a suit that you wear. Just barely.
G gundam had these bodysuit they wore in a pod thing. Even a horse could pilot one.
“space exploration”
Get away from her you bitch!
So 1/4 scale mobile suit. Not quite a Gundam, but it’s a start.
Weird. I didn’t know Gundams had wheels.
Fucking trash article. Every single outlet reporting on this is calling it a Gundam. Clearly we wouldn’t know what a 15 foot tall robot is without someone comparing it to a 100ft bipedal machine with massive guns and lightsabers that looks totally different than what they’re describing.
██████████yea when i saw the wheels i knew
this is a attempt at geting funding
ÆnimaAll it’s missing is the queen alien!
It’s happening? IT’S HAPPENING
