    I feel like building fake legs on the front of your tracked or wheeled robot should be a disqualification for being lame as hell

    The winning mech should have to fight an excavator afterwards. It would obviously get destroyed but it would be hilarious to watch this elaborate mech getting knocked over and then repeatedly pounded with a big bucket

    Actual duel shows in 25 minutes (7:35 pt).
    For now they're running through the youtube introduction and challenge videos.

    My bet is on the Japanese robot that shoots bullets when you smile in the cockpit

    Then can we have a tank fight the excavator? Just because having an actual fighting vehicle fighting the vehicle that beat the fighting robot could also be pretty funny to watch.

    Edit: wait, you can't fool me, that's just a guntank.

    The US mech probably only needs one clean hit though.

    I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

    Only if then the tank has to fight a swarm of explosive laden Boston Dynamics Big Dogs

    I feel like Kuratas is a totally different class of mech from Eagle Prime

    like, it's an ideal urban patrol vehicle in a universe where both of these two have to have a purpose, where Eagle Prime seems more in line with some kind of search and rescue vehicle

    Robotics aren't fast. They aren't even Battletech fast. This was pretty much just for show, because Iron Glory didn't do anything and they didn't try.

    Yeah. If they would have kneeled it, it might have gone better. :)

    Well the wrecking ball didn't have a giant set of wheels and motors continuing the momentum and follow-through. :)

    it should be noted that other Kuratas units have a much different chassis which seems more maneuverable

    this fighting unit is basically a Kubota diesel tractor with a torso
