dafuq, shooting by smiling? Nobody is going to smile in a battle to the death.

Japan girl looks hot in that cockpit.

[Schmide]

So hail robot overlords now?

 

[core2slow]

thats like challenging japan to a sushi eating contest. With their advanced knowledge of building gumdams (even full size ones), what hope is there for us?

 

[ViRGE]

I would argue that this robot doesn't qualify as "giant". Giant to me implies something that can go knock a building down (or will ruin a building if thrown at it). This is merely a large robot.

Still, I'm all for challenging Japan to a robot fight.

Kuratas has a price tag of US$1,353,500 (or ¥134,555,495, or €1,040,976) As of 25 April 2013.[5]

Nice, water bottles as ammo....

I'd like a life-sized Krogoth or MadCat Mk II. Or maybe Arbalest from Full Metal Panic.

...and a powered humanoid hand called the "iron crow" that is capable of picking up objects, and is linked to the pilot by "what appears to be a Mattel Power Glove"

First time travel, and now controlling mecha.

A Veritech's agility and flight would allow it to dominate those guys :twisted:

 

[Blanky]

It really is high time we had international teams building piloted bots to fight each other.

 

[Sonikku]

All an elaborate ruse while they construct their REAL entry.

 

[funks]

Damn, would be great if they had a competition for this instead of battle bots on TV - lol

We have been battling the russians since the 80s. Japan needs to play catchup!

The US has been known to develop competitive robots.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

A few years from now we're going to need Godzilla to save us from these things.

Would watch

This, if done right, will trigger huge advancements in large robot warfare. It is a great time to be alive! Somewhere someone with a lot of money should be figuring out how to create an international giant fighting robot league.

In retrospect I'm fairly sure this is how Robot Jox got started.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_Jox

In any case, I'm glad Japan accepted.

 

[MongGrel]

Needs real Lasers and Autocannons and SSRMs and jump jets

The movie was done wrong, I'm sure there were some before that.

MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat

Was my thing back in the day when I played Sertsa in the Black Widows on the Grand Council ladder over Kali.

 

[TheVrolok]

Japan demands hand to hand combat because weapons are too American? Could be interesting.

I'm saddened to see Japan is still making flashy robots instead of something useful. Apparently they didn't even have robots to send in place of humans during their meltdown so we sent them a shipment of our robots. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/mar/29/japan-nuclear-plant-us-robots
