Only 1.5 kph? What a bummer. I demand speed in addition to coolness and firepower.

not only was it posted here before, but there was a video, too. It doesn't really walk, the feet just slide back and forth, and it slowly moves forward. it always looked like it was gonna break.

It is only a prototype, isn't it?


Think about when tanks were first deployed by the british in world war one. They were extremely slow and often broke down. Then 20 years after that came the german panzers. Fast, many times more reliable, and powerful. Just give it time.

Funny thing is, I'm rereading some of my old Battletech books.
