Two giant robots with blazing guns is what apocalyptic nightmares and Michael Bay films are made of. While those autonomous machines continue to live in the fictional world, a breed of towering rideable robots is becoming a reality. One such machine is the MegaBot, a 15-foot tall bot large enough to seat two pilots. Unlike Hollywood's gun-wielding destructive machines, this one is armed with a paintball gun and is now ready to use it. But, of course, the Megabot needs someone its own size to pick on. So the aviator-wearing co-creators of this behemoth, draped in American flags, have thrown down the gauntlet and challenged the 12-foot tall Japanese KURATAS robot to a duel.
This vision was first introduced when the MegaBot made its Kickstarter debut late last year. The massive bot didn't meet its $1.8 million target. But the team went on to complete their prototype, the Mk.II, with the help of Autodesk this year. The KURATAS, on the other hand, has been around for almost three years. It's also been available on Amazon for $1 million since the beginning of the year. If team Japan accepts the challenge, the bots will be prepped and modified for the battle, which will take place a year from now.
