This is just so AWESOME! LOL All I ever got my kids were the build your own mech kits that shot paper targets.

For $22 Grand it had better be adult sized and intergrates with every Mech game past present and future.

I was thinking more in line of
Parent: "Timmy, time to come in for supper!"
TImmy: "NO! I'm playing!"
Parent: "Young man, I said.... Hey! Hey, Get away from the car this inst-"
*CRUNCH CRUMPLE TWANG*
Parent: "Oh, that's it, you are grounded young... hey, stay back, GET AWAY FROM ME!"
*SCREAMS*

Well it looks like the world is going to get big stompy fighting robots sooner or later. Even if it just a bunch of geeks making them to fight each other.

This was the comment made on Google Plus where I found it.

"Richard Hayden - Yeah, but what is that, Drac-red? Man, at least here in the Federated Suns we don't indoctrinate our kids! ;)"

But admit it, when you were a kid the stuff that was most fun what the stuff that was "unsafe" for some reason. LOL

Seen this before. It's not a walker, it has wheels in the feet. It just kind of skates around all lamely.

Yeah, this is actually a couple years old now. Once you see it in action, the wow factor drops like a rock. It doesn't walk at all, doesn't even lift the legs, it just alternates shuffling it's feet forward on rollers, and it's slow as hell. Buy your kid some rollerblades instead, and save 22-grand. Or give it to me. Either way is good.

Looking at it, it's even fairly obvious that it wouldn't be able to walk.

That really does knock the cool factor down about a 1000 times, especially given the price tag.
