Japan's response to USA's giant robot duel challenge

A quick google returns nothing on the initial challenge.  I'm skeptical enough to call publicity stunt, and too lazy to search for any evidence of this being true.

 

Do I really care?  No, not really, if it does turn out, both companies get millions of dollars thrown at them, and I get a good show to watch.

 

Well fuck.  They actually did challenge them.

You too can build Japan's robot by buying a starter kit on Amazon.jp! (It only costs 978,000 USD)

 

P.S. The questions and answers, as well as the reviews, are pretty funny.

Americans are rolling out a tin can model on tracks that looks more intimidating than the toy guns it's armed with, while Kuratas is a fully operational machine. You can't even expect US to win this, haha.

Just wait, the battle-ready Kurata will be armed with a giant katana made with glorious nippon steel folded 10^15 times. Burgerbot doesn't stand a chance.

Sure we could be solving the world's issues through countless political debates that always end in stalemates, OR we could let countries battle it out with mechas.

 

This is actually G gundam's plot. I hope this turns out the same. This is beautiful.

Also Robot Jox.
