The Patlabor franchise's original concept of police officers piloting robotic mecha (patrol labors or "Patlabors") was developed by HEADGEAR, a group consisting of director Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell, Sky Crawlers), script writer Kazunori Itō (.hack, Dirty Pair), mecha designer Yutaka Izubuchi (Eureka Seven, Mobile Suit Gundam franchise), character designer Akemi Takada (Kimagure Orange Road, Urusei Yatsura, Fancy Lala), and manga creator Masami Yuuki (Birdy the Mighty).


So many "legends" involved with the creation of this franchise. Absolutly insane. I miss this kind of collaboration with developers that seems to be missing now a days in the industry. I am excited for the new Patlabor anime series but my expectations will remain lower for now so I don't dissapoint my self. Still cool to see new Patlabor.

I would rather see this in a Super Robot War game in 2024

Given what Boston Dynamics has come out with in the past few years, it does seem possible. It would be interesting to see how practical a labor actually is for work.

Officially, there are only five members (as listed in the article) in the Headgear unit that created Patlabor:
