Low-Tech Gundam

Okay, so it's not perfect, but a Japanese company has come out with something I've wanted since the old days of Transformers, Robotech, Battletech, and Gundam... A walking robotic vehicle. The link's in Japanese, but you can get the basic idea. -->Land Walker Link<--

Now, the thing is not perfect by any strech of the imagination. First off, it's top speed is a <sarcasm> blazin' 1.5 kilometres per hour. I mean, wow! Fast! </sarcasm>

Okay, not really, but it's a start.

Secondly, it doesn't walk so much as shuffle. There are wheels under the foot. But at least it moves using it's legs, as the wheels are not powered. Once again, it's a start.

The fun things about this? Well, first of all, it looks awesome. Second, the guns on the side shoot squishy Nerf-type balls! Man, that would be awesome. A few friends goofing off with Nerf guns, and you stomp up in an armored walker and use a Nerf-firing minigun.... heh... The thought makes me smile.

I want one. I really, really want one.

Addendum: The link now works. I left out a hyphen in the URL. Sorry about that.
