Never give up the dream of impracticable mecha being used in the military At least Takahashi machines are more feasible than your 15 meter tall white samurai-bots. I'd love to see one of these in action.

wait a few years then we will see,laser cannon,railgun,laser rifle,plasma cannon,and missiles attached to it.
and also wait a few years they will use it as a weapon,, but amazing it just powered by a diesel engine,imagine if someday they powered it using a nuclear reactor ! how powerful it will be! 4 meters tall looks more easy to control,the size about the same as mecha in Armored Core. |

The key thing is what's the meantime to failure and how much maintenance will it require?

Probably short and probably a lot. But that's OK, it's a prototype. How it evolves over the next few years will be very interesting to see.

"Kurata has plans to mass-produce the "toy robots" through his Suidobashi Heavy Industry group, and stated to Wired that he wishes to sell the units for at least 100 million yen (about US$1.27 million)"
1.27 million dollars? For the prototype, sure. But if he wants to mass produce these he can't really charge the price of a small plane. It's not like the robot itself is made of high tech, or serves any usefull purpose whatsoever. |

This is the ultimate rich man toy... if only they replaced the BB's with water-based paintball ammo.
I never got into Votoms as a kid (I thought it was too scary), but if this was Labors or Gundams, I'd be out raising the money to purchase now! |
