compare the cost of this early stage mecha at roughly 1 million versus a M1 Abrams at 6-8 million.

To make this combat effective:

Needs an engine that can sustain at least 45 MPH fully loaded.

Each of the four legs need larger tires and reinforced independent suspension

Legs need wider spacing for more stability

Remove 1 gatling gun in favor of more ammo or both for larger 30mm avenger cannon

Arms need enough strength to push mech back up if toppled over

Optional shoulder mounted M256 smoothbore cannon "snub nose variant" with autoloader

Expanded cockpit for two crew(driver and gunner)

Other thoughts:

Smiling fires the guns? Anyone that operates this will run out of ammo in 10 seconds

Why hasn't anyone tried mount the avenger cannon on a small fast vehicle for anti tank duty?

I wonder how ED-209 would fare running on those legs

Truckasaurus has a new rival at monster truck rallies

God help the world if I ever get my hands on one of these

I like the look.of that thing. Reminds me.of a tachikoma when It's rolling. Also that chick is hot!

The New Weapon of War!

It's remind me a fusion beetwen a Rideback with KFrame of Code Geass.

Because the moviment and design.

But does it come in black?

But does it come in black?

But does it come in black?

I think a repaint with Hikaru's color scheme...

[GU-11]

So it's begun....

Now all we need is to start a global war and get some androgynous emo teenage kids to pilot these things.

Reminds me of the Sentry Bots from Fallout.

I doubt that frame could support a fully loaded Avenger cannon

Unless you used it like Vulcan Raven

Or loli lascivous virgins girls.

Awesome!

[mecha2241]

I'm still trying to figure out how a GASOLINE ENGINE runs on DIESEL fuel...

[BeyondTheGrave]

I thought the same thing. Along with

10kph is not very fast

if it rolls over you're screwed

And the hydraulics are too slow.

Oh, Japan...
