Land Walker - Wearable Robot Suit
Ever want your own personal mech? The Land Walker, a Wearable Robot Suit developed by Masaaki Nagumo stands more than 10 feet tall and is able to walk forward, backward, and sideways. The giant mech is controlled by four petals inside the cockpit. Instead of railguns and missles the Landwalker features two airguns that shoot spung bullets at your enemy. You can own one for $313,985, a bit pricey indeed, however showing up to your neighbors barbecue in a 10 foot robot is priceless.
