is Ghandi involved somehow?  I can't watch this, due to dialup internet.  But if a badly-done portrayal of Ghandi is in it, I'm pretty sure my friend made it lol

No... Just explosions and giant Nazi fighting robots...

Neat. :)

It reminds me of Mechwarrior a lot, since the robots are slow (even though they're humanoid, like the kind you find in anime).

That was actually really awesome. My only complaint is that a more retro, possibly even steampunk-inspired design would have looked better.

Honestly, you'd have thought a giant metal robot would warrant - heavens forbid - explosive ordinance on those fighters! Mustangs, were they?

Maybe they couldn't scramble anything else?
Why didn't they shoot the krautbot with those battleships?

Answer is, because then there wouldn't have been any reason for the yankbot.  :D


(Interesting... Spell check doesn't ***** about krautbot and yankbot...)

There's a HD version of this in Azureus Vuze.

They were cruisers actually, most of them. Judging from the turrets pre-war heavy cruisers, US prewar 8" had that boxy look.

Somebody was either an 08th MS Team fan or great minds think alike. "One hand on ya! One hand on ya!"

And they needed a Marine one to come out and fight the Japanese bot. :p

Cruisers or whatnot. Who cares? Both do battle. :p

I would have very much liked to see a Soviet version. ;7

I think you should first watch the video and then comment it's contents.

I could've swore that said "It reminds me of Manchester"


Edit:

Okay... so that was pretty odd. Good CGI work though. I was of course waiting for the British army to come round the corner and just flick his giant "off" switch. ;)
