Watching the video kind of shows how even if this tech were less clunky that conventional weapons and personnel could probably dispatch such a beast with relative ease.

I saw that a while ago,cool stuff!look how quickly mobile phone technology has moved on in the last 5 years,if the right amount of money is pumped into it the army will be strutting about in fast/smooth moving mechs within 15 years i would have thought,even if its just ones like the power loaders from aliens!:cool:

Interesting, but impractical. i guy with an RPG 6 would be the end of that thing. while a TOW would flat out gut it.


Neat idea though.

In a word, Otaku.
seriously, why target such a small group? like those geeks are all going to cash in their anime collections and go buy a mini? see like a waste of ad money.

[p2501]

true but there is a disturbing attraction between Otaku and smaller but fast cars.

it's kept Volkswagen in business for years.
