the thing "shuffles" at best. A simple curb would put a stop to its fearsome rampage. It is kinda cool, in a geeky, impractical, useless way.

wow, looks like Robotech/Battletech (80's manga/anime) mecha in real life. Too bad it can't lift its legs like in the cartoon.

btw, are those Mugen S1 seats?

It would be so frustrating to drive that thing (if you call it driving). I'd be like, "Hurry up"!

What the hell is it shooting? Air? Nerf balls? I can't see it. I was expecting a gatling gun going full tilt.

Nah - the recoil from a gatling gun would topple it.
