Japan startup develops 'Gundam'-like robot with $3 mln price tag
Tokyo-based start-up Tsubame Industries has developed a 4.5-metre-tall (14.8-feet), four-wheeled robot that looks like "Mobile Suit Gundam" from the wildly popular Japanese animation series, and it can be yours for $3 million.

This is unfortunately a lot less impressive than it looks, since it's wheeled and not bipedal.
It's Guntank.

"$3 mln" is somehow a lot less explanatory than "$3m"
I thought it was $3/min 🤷🏽♂️
$3 million / minute
I think it's to draw a distinction from the similar "milliard", which means "billion" in British English but has fallen out of fashion.
but has fallen out of fashion
It's a bit of a shame really, since it makes much more sense: How big is a billion?
Didn’t they build this years ago? I remember the lame arse “fight” with the US robot company.
yes, like 10+ years ago.
Still a joke, not sure why they don't get a proper hydraulic control person involved in these projects.
i think they had an idea, a good one, but then at the last moment realized that it was all too dangerous and expensive in practice.
then they tried doing some weird hybrid between “professional” wrestling and a documentary.
poor planning was the ultimate downfall. i had high hopes.
How long does this last against a c4-strapped drone swarm?
Movements kinda slow to be any real threat, nice try Skynet.
Just an iteration. They'll be there in no time.
Looks more like the loader from Aliens, which (to me) is more interesting than Gundam.
I'd expect a full-scale gundam to cost more than 3 million dollar
US vs Japan mech battle take 2?
I was so hype to watch two big ass robots do nothing to each other.... I'm down for another hour long video, regardless.
I dont know what i was really expecting from that fight but man was i disappointed. All the hype for what amounted to about a 5 second robot slap fight.
Author needs to watch more Gundam
Remember the end of Iron Man 1? Because I’m suddenly reminded of it…
Cool... but why??
Yeah you'd think there'd be some mention of what it's good for... seems to be a toy, reading between the lines of what the founder says
it looks like the Kuratas. isn’t this too dangerous to give to just anyone?
Holy shit just 3 million!
That's just the exo-suit from “Aliens”
