"...about 125,000,000 copies of Peggle."

I want a Gundam, too! And, then again, after watching Gundam anime / reading Gundam manga...I kinda don't want anyone to have one.

There was a link floating around not too long ago of a very basic robot that could walk (albeit, slowly) and fire Nerf bullets.

Ill dig into mah piggy bank and see what I can find hold on................................................ ......

Damn all I got was some Star Wars Collectible figurines

I think we would end up building it for a whole heck of alot more than 750 million. That would be a downright bargain for the first working military mech. I'm thinking of upwards of 2 billion for the first one if we tried to build it now--don't forget all the stuff DARPA and others have already done that would inform the tech.

It'll probably be a lot more. We need to improve weapons tech, come up with some sort of portable fusion generator to make it go as nicely as we'll want, and figure out how to hook it up to a human to make it move without a hundred levers and buttons inside the thing.

P.S. The LOLcat of "pew pew pew" is epic. That's the best thing on the link.

I think a walker would be a remote control type of thing. at least the first ones. they would be much more compact without seating, controls, etc for the human driver.

If a Gundam would only cost 750m the US military would be using them.

You keep your gundam, ill take an Alpha Fighter with a Beta Attached.

Yeah no kidding! now if only we could get our hands on some protoculture...

[Mobojo]

You guys can have your gundam, all I want is one of those awesome rail guns. Ill teach the neighbors to keep it down some at night.
