Admit it: You've always wanted to pilot a giant fighting robot. Now, for a mere $1.3 million, you can. Kuratas, a 13-foot hydraulic robot that can be ridden or remote-controlled via smartphone, was unveiled last weekend in Tokyo (where else?). This diesel-powered monstrosity, courtesy of Suidobashi Heavy Industry, comes with awesome, futuristic weapons like a missile launcher that fires water bottles (yet "will not hurt anyone," the company insists) and a twin Gatling gun that locks on your target, spraying 6,000 BB pellets a minute when you smile. The only drawback is that it can only go six miles an hour, so it's probably not a good solution for your morning commute. _________________________________________________________

except at the moment this thing is too slow. Needs to be at least 20 miles per hours and the arms are wicked slow too but still I have always dreamed about having my own super robot and then to get in the thing like it is a mech. oh yeah! _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!
