Re: Anyone need a mecha?
Sure, I have just that amount of money lying on my desk!
...It is kinda cool though.
Is there actually any law that would forbid such a vehicle from driving on the road? (From the looks of the video, at least not in Japan.)

Re: Anyone need a mecha?
I would love to use this for half an hour. But I couldn't imagine what I'd do with it if I owned it.
The price is insane, but the add-ons are even worse. $80k for the radio unit. $200k for a different head. Madness.
The footage of it driving through the city is fake.

The #renpy IRC channel is a great place to chat with other devs. Due to the nature of IRC and timezone differences, people probably won't reply right away.

Re: Anyone need a mecha?
Nah, I don't need a Kuratas. I already have my Maxima, Keiko. If I came home with one of these things she might get mad at me and dump sunroof water on me again, or shut herself off on a country road at 1AM again. She's a jealous and feisty lady... but so very beautiful... *w*
Also, why is a Kuratas radio that expensive? O_O

I love how you can pay $100 for a cup holder.

Not really checking the forums any more due to time constraints, so if you want to contact me, PM. I'll get a notification and log in.
Also, I've been hit and run posting, which means I don't see many replies. If you want to respond to something I've said, also feel free to PM me.
NOTE: if you've got questions about vnovel or things like that, it's Leon that you should be contacting. Leon's been pretty much handling everything, but due to various reasons, I've had to withdraw entirely.

Re: Anyone need a mecha?
I got all excited, but then I saw it doesn't have legs. How's it supposed to do an Inazuma Kick if it doesn't have legs?!

At the end where it went "H E L L O H U M A N S", I kinda expected a "PREPARE FOR DESTRUCTION" to follow.

Re: Anyone need a mecha?
To those complaining that this mecha still isn't quite as good as they're expecting (missing legs, etc), keep in mind that this is the first commercially available mecha ever.
Here's a picture of the first commercially available car ever:
Now think a little how cars look today, think how fast technology is advancing at the moment and draw your own conclusions.
Gundam. Coming 2025.

Re: Anyone need a mecha?
To be fair, I suspect getting such a car today could become fashionable at one point.
Just imagine it - you put on your shades and leather gloves, sit in your old-sKool Benz with a burning"Hot Wheels" inscribed on it, wait a couple of minutes for the motor to start up (or possibly explode). Then, race through the city, enjoy the wind in your hair and the envious(?) glances of the passersby. Now, that's living the life.

Re: Anyone need a mecha?
I really liked how she was grinning when she was talking on the phone, loool.
Re: Anyone need a mecha?
That old car just reminds me of how we still don't have hover cars. C'mon, science people, I had dreams! Stolen from Sci-Fi movies!
Although, I guess this robot is better than those Transformers movies, so it evens out.
