the japanese military has taken the 1st practical step toward a real working gundam. on a smaller scale they now have a pilotable, single seat combat vehicle mounted on two sets of wheels (two sets. dubbed the kuratas this mechanized combat suit boasts some impressive firepower at the cost of being a little slow in overall movement however its pretty durable and weather resistant.

please enjoy the english dubbed instructional video on this touchscreen (with optional dual joystick for free aim) walker in action. it drives much like a slow moving car and has some cool optional weapons. in comes stock as an anti-infantry device

Good. With North Korea and China as neighbors, they need all the firepower they can get.

That is awesome, though I'm pretty sure its being built less for the practicality and more for the novelty.

I don't think the Japanese Military has any involvement with this.

I was expecting a very young girl with a short skirt to be presenting it and the camera giving little sexually suggestive views of her. I guess I was wrong about Japan. Maybe they're not all about sexualizing young girls.

Looks kind of impractical to me but if they're serious about developing something like a mech that's pretty cool. Also: gah, naked Cirno.
