LOL.. My money on Kuratas.. Btw, when will they fight? Where can i see it live?
Please don’t get desperate against the Japanese again…
You do know who you sound like, don’t you? Say “cool whip”
Really? They didn’t try it even once before the display, to see that it doesn’t have enough power?
Congrats on stealing the 500k.
This shit is sooo yesterday
dude they just stole 500grand from you guys. PCP pipes really?
0:33 lololol
Pretty sure Japan has got America beat on this one. The Kickstarter didn’t make a lot of it’s stretch goals that really sounded necessary to make this vehicle fight-worthy. The biggest thing was retrofitting it for melee combat as that was the decided form of combat. However the Japanese mech was built for that in mind. Moreover the stretch goals not met included making the thing more mobile, steady, and other basic things.
I can built it better with $2,000.
Lets get real here.… Japan is going to whoop their asses. Robotics is what they do best.
Waiting for Kuratas to destroy this tractor.
It’s cooq. % rifle shallow What’s your opinion aboxt it 1!
this is going to be the lamest, most image damaging thing to happen to robotics in years.
Wanna bet if these mechbots proven to be quite sophisticated in the movement and resistance..
The chances are big that there will be militarized mechs as well.
The Kuratas was more exciting than this pos in videos from over three years ago. Are they kidding? As far as I’ve seen megabot can lower and raise it’s cockpit. And that’s about it. Woop… Can’t believe people actually gave them money, the world sure is full of idiots.
either they’re keeping their cards close to their chest or megabot team are intentionally taking a dive
After all the hype and bragging, the Megabot’s performance is weak and disappointing… Kuratas is going to destroy it.
They’re going to get destroyed
wasted that 500k on this clunker, if they are building a mk III i hope it blows this junk out of the water. Use the MK II as a target practice/punching bag to give this thing a use atleast.
they’re going to need more than 500,000.00
So are they not fighting anymore?
