Update on homemade battlemech
I wrote earlier about a functional battlemech that some dude had invented. Turns out, it's for sale. Any wannabe mechwarriors out there should check it out. While not exactly up to "real" battlemech standards, it shoots sponge bullets, walks around and stands eleven feet tall! It was invented by a Japanese dude, who's put the battlemech up for sale.
Here's the blurb from Geekend:
The LandWalker, a real-world functional battlemech. It's 11 feet tall, weighs over a ton, and is armed with sidemounted airguns capable of spraying your enemies with sponge bullets, who will flee in terror at your Gundam-esque fury. . . You can't put a price on that kind of fun. Oh, wait, yes you can, as inventor Masaaki Nagumo is selling the Land Walker for a paltry 36 million yen (around $300,000).
