#3 ROFLMAO!!!

I'm overlooking the deficiencies - this guy is awesome and his mecha rocks!

Just picture the reaction if one of these things, stabilizied and properly miltarized, came rumbling down the street in an urban war setting. Heh.

A+ for ingenuity and effort!

Waaay Beyond the Valley of Cool.

#5 If some idjit actually builds a military version, I'll laugh my ass off. Hopefully before they get theirs shot off.

If you're lucky, they'll use ballistic glass for the pilot's cage, and it'll be able to take a random spray of assault rifle fire without the pilot going Tango Uniform.

How tall is that thing? 11 feet?
