It’s the moment robot fan boys have been waiting for. 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.

San Francisco Bay area-based MegaBots threw down the gauntlet in a YouTube video last month, pitting its 12,000-pound Mark II robot against Suidobashi’s Kuratas machine. “You have a giant robot, we have a giant robot - we have a duty to the science fiction lovers of this world to fight them to the death,” growled MegaBots, in a YouTube post accompanying the video. “Prepare yourselves, and name the battlefield. In one year, we fight.”

This should be interesting.

I smell another Rocky themed movie just like the miserable “Real Steel” travesty.

When the Japanese respond, the lip movements shouldn't match the video.

I've been following this and I don't think Japan has a chance.
Their machine is ripe for being torn apart. To many intricate parts.
