America won a mech battle against Japan

[ArmyUnit]

YOU SAY THAT LIKE ITS A BAD THING

yeah but I want mech fighting though

MECH
FIGHTING

WITH EXPLOSIONS

Mechs are better because they're massive machines made from thousands of pieces worth millions, and it's truly amazing to see something the size of a house pick up and toss a car like it's nothing. The more we invest, the better they'll become.

[Dreams_Of_Cheese]

this was kinda lame. we need real bloodsports where these mechs are really fighing. you'd need to have a few rules to keep it competitive, like no guns or something like that, but after that you'd have a robot fight that isn't afraid to hurt someone.

They have a Metal Gear? Here?!

[McJob]

a weapon to surpass metal gear

Let's I give you 5 billion United States dollars. Would you rather invest that into a slow moving, poorly armored, bipedal war machine that's also an obvious target, or would you rather have a platoon of exosuit-clad soldiers.

Dunno about you but I'd take the jackasses with power armor over the domino with a gun any day.

[McJob]

I'd take the War Machine because I could install a toilet and therefore take a dump while dumping nuclear fire on the entire western seaboard.

it was so scripted that it kinda made me cringe, especially the part about the mechs coming toward the desk thing

and the fights were just........so underwhelming

[Goth77]

this just goes to prove every time japan hits we hit them back twice

this made me laugh for some reason xD

'Murica forget yeah.

I only see this as a test bed for things to come. Every day the field of hydraulics and robotics advances in some new way. Artificial limbs are finally starting to lose some of that "clunky" feeling to them, becoming smoother and quicker to muscle response. I wouldn't be surprised if in the next 20 years we'd have something akin to the movie Real Steel.
