Leave it to the Japanese to Build the Ultimate Toy

[Slide On The Ice]

Is it a toy, or is it home defense? It's big and scary and is operated by a human pilot, it's metal, it walks at 1.5 kilometers an hour (such frightening speed, who can outrun it?), and it shoots soft pink balls at enemy targets. It reminds me of a cross between the power-loader robot suit that Ripley wore/operated in Aliens, Robocop, and the 2-legged Clone Scout walkers from Revenge of the Sith. Damn I want one of these.
