Hmmm that reminds me of something...

In Gasaraki, A Japanese TV series targeted at analyzing the "future" of warfare, a "Sadam-like" figure who leads a nation called "Belgistan" Is considered the enemy and it invoulves warfare between them and the US using Japanese technology (on both sides thanks to Hong Kong's free trade issues after they get their hands on a few robot designs of their own and gladly sell them to the militants) produced from a fictional sony-like zaibatsu called "Gowa" and seems very realistic in some parts. It was supposed to have a fantasy plot too but nobody actually cared about that [img]tongue.gif[/img] . The fact that the robots could be built today and could easily outshoot any tank by repelling up walls and being like giant soldiers on the battlefeild, it pretty much showed up every previousely used weapon of war, everything from missile turrets to F-18 Super Hornets taking off from the Naval base in Okinawa are easily evaded and taken out by the bulky machines. The only problem they had to deal with was overheating and battery power, which lasted only about half an hour, that and piloting the machines tended to make the users go a little out of their minds for some reason... I'm sure it'll be more like battletech tho... just not as big...

Well I can't wait to see some Mechs lumbering about!

Big walking killing machines = Cool!
