Ok, where are the plasma cannons and chain guns? wtf type of mech is that?

Looks a bit unsteady. Seems to me that the whole thing is made of cardboard with 2 RC cars under the feet to make it move.
Give it 20 years and will have bigger 100ton buggers on the war field shoot the crap out of each other with lasers and chain-guns.

No we wont. They'd cost money. Infantry are free. People make new future infantry units every day.
Same reason they won't build terminators

World would be much more fun if someone hadn't invented the word "budget".

I like the RobotJox idea - no war just 2 guys fighting in big robot suits!
