Now all we have to invent is some anti-grav technology and we'll be able to have Hammerheads.

This is about as close as we got right now.

Scientifically antigrav will continue to baffle us until they find a gravaton or find the time to look for a bunch of invisible strings holding us to the earth.

I say we strap a couple of those things to a scaled up version of one of these: www.engadget.com/2010/09/27/raytheon-revamps-sarcos-exoskeleton-creates-better-faster-and/ and call it a Broadside. Too bad it only works on a tether at the moment like an Evangelion.

Armor up that Exo-suit and bolt on a modifed AA12 an you got an instant (if short ranged) Terminator or Grey Knight.

For those of you that dont speak Japanese. This is something you can buy now for 443,840.40. AND IT SHOOTS FOAM BALLS.

Oddly enough its now possible to build a real life Gundam, but it will set ya back half a billion bucks and it would be disel powered.

Also does that Walker come with the option to customize its appearence?

I don’t even know if anyone has bought one. It has a speed of about .5 mph and can only handle a grade of about 5 degrees.

The technology behind making something walk on two legs really isn’t practical; quadrupeds might be of use because they are much more stable. At the point we master walkers we most likely will have mastered hover crafts, so sadly it’s not likely to happen
