US wins first ever giant robot battle with Japan!

Authored by megabots.com and submitted by jabolli

We Crowdfunded the First Ever Giant Mech Battle.

MegaBots took to Kickstarter to crowdfund the upgrades to the American robot. Raising over $500,000, the campaign will allow the MegaBot Mk. II to not only be able to swing punches, but to roll with them too.

Get ready to witness the most incredible sports entertainment that the world has ever seen: Nation-on-nation robot combat. Multi-ton behemoths will swing punches, tearing steel armor panels off each other until one mech is left standing, while the opponent is left a heap of scrap metal.

Welcome to the future of sports.

Piloted robots are cool, why did they make this scripted, campy and underwhelming. I get that it takes a lot of time to build and service these machines and they are awesome - but the scripted and poorly acted execution will just make this stuff a novelty. Too bad Gundam did that first and did a way better job.

I mean, they could have just slapped some arms on a backhoe truck and that would stomp through the competition.

Super scripted and just disappointing, thank goodness I forgot all about this and had no hype whatsoever.
