The world’s first ever real giant mech battle has been officially announced between Megabots Inc and Suidobashi Heavy Industry, two robotics companies who have successfully constructed functional giant robots – an event that has triggered massive anticipation from dedicated mecha enthusiasts the world over.
The “Kuratas”, the first “mech” ever built and created by Suidobashi Heavy Industry in 2012, will face off against Megabots Inc’s very own “MK. II”, which was revealed just this year – an astronomical event that many have still failed to fathom.
The initial challenge dealt by Megabots:
The response from Suidobashi Heavy Industry:
The threat of being completely upstaged by mere barbarians seems to have somehow roused Suidoubashi’s Japanese spirit – their CEO is on record as saying “We can’t let another country win this, giant robots are Japanese culture.”
While no absolute date has yet been set, the initial video states that there might be at least a year long wait until the face off.

Whichever mech wins, the audience also wins.
Assuming they live.
Better to die like this than regret not being part of it.
11/10
They will if they are watching it live through the Internet.
You fail to understand the true power or the awesome side of the force!
Hopefully one of them jumps the stands and kills everyone watching.
They need to put a bet whoever wins like
Uplift the censorship law if US wins
YOU ARE A MAD MAN! Such thing will cause the universe to implode as all the weebs try to force thenselves to root for USA against Japan! Dont do this sir, there are places you should never go.
Make Eatshithara commit harakiri
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
...hopefully after the circlejerk is over, Truckzilla comes out and eats them both.
Robosaurus*
It should included in olympic event.s
Well shit, I'll finally can use that damn robotics degree!
Vertically aligned construction equipment with paintball guns mounted to it does not equal a 'giant robot', that giant turd looks like it belongs in some redneck's front lawn.
You're just mad because America is styling on you. You could say the same thing of the A-10. It's basically just a big gun with a plane stuck on it, but it works. Also, America made Big Dog. At the very least, Americans make better robotic nightmares.
comparing an a10 to these is like comparing a bottle rocket to the spaceX rockets.
the only use for humanoid robots(uits) is enhancing human strength and survivability (thats a word), not replacing tanks, airplanes, boats and shit knows what else.
You forgot entertainment, which this is for... I'm not sure if either company actually markets these as actual weapons of war.
no. the kuratas was started as art project only, and megabots inc allways stated it's a game.
I don't get why they're going this low tech route, though.
Both companies should have easily access to more performant equipment.

No one is going to watch a bunch of autistic manchildren pilot construction equipment in a paintball competition. The novelty of it will wear off faster than man landing on the moon.
Nor will any sane insurance company cover the pilots, nor will any major television networks pick up the "show", with men inside beating the hell out another, in a close combat "robot" fight. So it'll be failed paintball show or bust.
You forgot sexaroids
see the murica mech, its was build means for bringing the destruction.
meanwhile the japan side we can see they build it for something positive. see when they test the hand grip. it was build to be gentle.
Yet the japanese can shoot you with a smile.
LOL you wish :)
Boston Dynamics
America already won.
Yeah funny horse robots :-D
thats not fair, arnt those guys funded by google and have military contracts?
I can't fap to this
... it's sounds very fracking awesome, but it's going to be cool at best. wounder how fast they can go. it's basically a tank battle between two newbs.
the kuratas topspeed is 10km/h, dont know about the 'merican one.
it's not going to be very fast.
I believe that's why they need at least a year to make them "battle ready"...
These are fun times to be alive.
is this real or a joke?
It's a...
( •_•)
( •_•)>⌐■-■
(⌐■_■)
...real joke.
Holy shit, soon we'll have real deal robots fight in arenas and ultimately they'll take over humanity.
japan's robot look really well made all pretty and stuff. USA's bot looks like it can do some heavy work all well oiled and functional and shit. I wonder how long the pretty one will last? cant wait for the mech wars!
USA will win :}. They know how to create destruction ! :P
They probably have explosives strapped to each fist. One punch booom!
This is the most beautyful thing i have ever seen in my life ;_;
First, we beat them in the World Cup. Now we're gonna beat them in Robotics?
let the Russians joined too then we will have Robot Jox.
Dude, if we gonna join, then we just take a tank, add hands with machine guns on turret and roll over these scraps of tincans))
Japanese definitely looks cooler but reality doesn't always look good. We'll have to see. It's all an advertising gimmick anyway so.....meh.
They wanted melee battle and the japanese one has better armor. Not to mention the pilots will get beaten into a pulp inside the cockpit when either one hits the other.
It's going to be an actual bloodbath.
Pretty sure in that case they'll make them remote controlled...
From engineering point if view, kurata got better ground maniability But it does not look sturdy eniugh in a close combat fight.
Aiming for the structure around the tire would kill it.
MkII look sturdier and seems to have better fire power but low ground maniability. Tackle it from the side and it is dead
So the ground will play a major role.
If no ambush nor close combat, i would say 60-40 for kurata
nanomachines, son
God, this is so dumb. The American one is a glorified turret and the Japanese one is a glorified go-cart.
You got to start somewhere.
Make a better one and join in, you're free to do so.
gimme monez and i will do so, I wanted to do this even before kuratas was revealed.
The envy is strong in this one!
