The 12-metre high machine has coke bottle eyes and a crude Wall-E-like head, as well as large arms that can be fitted with blades or paint brushes
It looks quite nice, industrial machines tend to look ugly.

The mech wars are coming, aren’t they?!

Cool, so the robot war will either be Sekiro or Splatoon.
“it is the 31st century and mankind, is once again, at war. The battlefields of the future are dominated by huge robotic war machines known as BattleMechs. Piloting these awesome weapons of war are men and women, the elite of the elite, knowing that each battle could be their last. They are…MechWarriors.”
And Japan is clearly going to win.
Unless the kaiju take notice.
These are the sort of things that ought to be automated. It’ll be interesting to see how Japan handles their demographic crisis going forwards. If they manage it without significantly increased migration, that’ll be a standard for the rest of the developed world to follow.
Johnny 5…thousand!
We’re getting closer to the Patlabor future.
yeah but wouldn’t you rather have an Evangelion future? sure mech cops are neat but how about giant mechs that aren’t really mechs and are actually your mom that you can stick a tube in and pilot? you don’t want to pilot a giant cyborg of your mother?
I for one would stick a tube in and pilot your mom
Is this how the robocalypse begins?

Looks like they improved on it since its announcement two years ago. It's pretty cool.
