"You know what we really need: melee combat. If we're gonna win this, I want to punch them to scrap and knock them down to do it."

I've been watching. Shit is so great. Just fast forward through the stories about the builders/designers and watch the battles.

well it's pretty obvious that japans robot will win. i mean they're always at least 3 years ahead in technology than the rest of the world, and their robot doesn't look like a pile of shit either.

Yeah, if they are going with melee now my money is on Japan, considering how gun-focused the us robot is. Super stoked nonetheless.

We will never see a battlebot/robot wars contender as elegant or perfect as Razer again.

Only every really lost on idiotic technicalities.

Relax, Japan is only at the stage of small Mechwarriors. It will take at least four moons before they reach Ragnarok and maybe a year for a Gundam, plenty of time.

that is far too long of a wait.... we need the 00 timeline style, business as usual and then BAM gundams out of nowhere.
