>This childhood-dream-come-to-life is built by Oakland-based startup MegaBots. It's called the Mk II, and yes, it totally works.
>Not only does it work. It's completely badass.
>But that's just the start. Japan has built a giant fighting robot of their own dubbed "Kuratas."
>It is ALSO totally fucking epic.
>And you fire it's weapons by smiling like a deranged super-villain.
>You see what I'm getting at here. The stage is clearly set for a showdown.
>Because let's be real. We, as a race, do not deserve to have giant robots unless we're making them do this…
>The good news is that back in June of 2015 the founders of MegaBots issued a challenge to the Suidobashi Heavy Industry, the creators of Kuratas. The terms? A duel, one year from the date.
>They accepted.
>Which means that in 3 short months THIS is gonna be happening.
>If you aren't already picking sides and screaming with excitement, I recommend starting now.
