| Some guy in Japan (where else?) has built his very own Land Walker. Follow the link and play the video (top left picture where it says MOVIE). Ok, it shuffles more than walks, and the gatling gun fires plastic bullets instead of HE, but still....... I WANT ONE! |

| #5 If some idjit actually builds a military version, I'll laugh my ass off. Hopefully before they get theirs shot off. BFT Mk1 - Big Fucking Target, Mark One. 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? |

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. |
