Awesome Mech

Peter Hyoguchi’s collaborative, crowd-funded Anime series has completed its first episode, introducing us to the incredible hidden genetic abilities of its protagonists, including the ability to turn into mechs.

Suidobashi Heavy Industry has launched a site where you can customize the $2M Kuratas mech and then place an order. Who cares if it’s a hoax? We just built a robot. Your argument is invalid.

Japanese engineers have unveiled Kuratas, a 13-foot-tall, wheeled mech which actually can drive up to 10km/h, heads-up video display, and can be operated remotely by an smartphone.

Hawken looks very promising, but MechWarrior Online has a big advantage over its FPS mech rival: a pedigree. MwO will be a free-to-play MMO, with emphasis on team play and customization.

The latest gameplay trailer from this mech FPS shows just how intense we can expect the battles to get. Every time we see this game, we want to play it more. Out 12/12/2012.
