US and Japan set for epic giant robot battle

American firm MegaBots, which builds giant fighting robots, is gearing up for an epic battle against a creation from its Japanese rival Suidobashi Heavy Industry.
MegaBots challenged Suidobashi to the fight.  Looks like maybe an upgrade on the smaller robots of the past.  I will be curious to see how this turns out.  I am also curious what the safety rules will be since these are piloted machines.

Seeing both bots, I expect a slow-mo cripple fight.

Uparmor it, add some flamethrowers, paint it red white blue, and you're good to go.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

Throw in the robot that killed a VW worker and make it a 3-way fight.
