I may have been born too late to explore the Earth, and too early to explore space. However, I WAS BORN IN THE PERFECT GENERATION TO EXPLORE AWESOME MECH FIGHTS
Holy sh*t my new favorite has revealed itself. I've been watching for quite some time, but seeing the MK3 tear off the canopy of the MK2 was incredible! I can't wait for the duel, nor can I wait for whatever comes next for you guys.
If this, and I'm sure it will, becomes a full on annual sports league of giant fighting machines, I see Robot Combat like Megabots, Robot Wars and Battlebots becoming even more popular in the future. Bring on the age of Metal Mayhem!
+Tenshi LoveDragon Only the ignorant expect things. Disappointment comes from expectations. Therefore, only the ignorant can feel disappointment. Burn in Hell.
Actually, the last official announcement was that it would be in August, which has officially come. Doesn't mean it'll happen this month, but that was the last official plan. Considering the complete communication silence from Suidobashi, my guess is they either backed out, or Megabots and Suidobashi are hashing out legal details.
So I see alot of exposed wires and hoses. Those need to be covered before the fight or we will get knocked out due to a mechanical or electrical issue caused by damaged lines. Even just a fiberglass shielding would provide some minor protection against scraps. Anything!
Definitely the Achilles heel here. With all that exposed hydraulics and cooling equipment anyone on the ground with a .223 could render this thing useless in seconds.
THE GIANT ROBOT DUEL WILL PREMIERE ON OCTOBER 17TH AT 7:00PM PACIFIC TIME! You can see see the premiere on our new twitch channel: twitch.tv/megabotsinc , and it will be posted to this RUclips channel immediately after the stream ends!
I thought you were going for the Back to the Future time (October 21'st) but hey I'll take it!!!!!!!!!!! Let the meeeeeeeeeettttaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllll Cruuuuummmmmmmmmpllllllllllleeeeeeeeee!!! or Men of Metal Onward, battle! Beat the Heck Out of Mechs! or It's time to mech this happen! or May the bets mech wreck! or It's time to GUNDAMN them to the scrapyard! or ........ honestly I'm out of bad mech phrases/puns/whatever the you call those things the guy in the boxing rings says to hype everybody up but I AM HYYYYYYYYYYYYYPPPPPPPPPPPED!!!!!!!! Fanboyinsm aside (and if you read this much) thank you for making this dream come true. Even if I am rooting for the Japanese team you and Kuratas have brought a piece of peace to this old sod as childhood dreams become a reality (somewhat. I mean it's not gundam or Knightmare frame levels but better something than nothing) Just ....... thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you :)
I appreciate the time you put into this little reveal video. I can tell you guys played Mechwarrior,lol. The bot looks great. People need to remember this is the first generation of real dueling Mechs. Hopefully this will inspire a whole industry and 20 years from now we will look back at these first "primitive" Mechs and wonder at the tenacity ,ingenuity and spirit of these pioneering Mech builders.
wow there are so many superior robotics engineers and designers here... SMH why can't we just enjoy the magnificent machine this awesome company has built and was good enough to share with us?? I for one am super excited and happy to finally see this tech shaping into reality and can't wait to see what's to come!! AWESOME JOB MEGABOTS INC!!
I am loving that you guys got George Ledoux, aka Duncan Fisher, aka The Voice of The People of Solaris VII, aka THE BEST VOICE FOR ANY MECH COMMENTARY! Seriously hope you guys have him with you at the fight commenting LIVE for the fight. Although I do have a question. Where can i find the song you guys used for this vid? I need this to blast as i stomp around in MW:O!
When i was young,all the cool out of this world technology i saw in sci-fi films fascinated me. But now these things are becoming real day by day,week by week and year by year....they just don't fascinate me anylonger... Like it becomes so mundane -.-
MegaBots Inc., your team has done a fantastic job. That's a lot of time, effort and drive right there; Eagle Prime looks like a beast. Looking forward to the big duel with the Kuratas. Go, Team USA!
The only thing i'm sad about right now is that I can only like this once!!! "don't get too cocky!" IT's been a long road and we are SUPER STOKED FOR YOU GUYS!!!!!!!
Hey Megabots Inc! When is the fight happening? It's almost October now and I haven't heard any update on the big fight! I need to know the details so I can fly my family out there for the match :D
i have low expectation since this is the very first moment that will probably be a pioneer for mecha duel tournament. you know first planes doesn't look that cool
and for megabot teams, please read my comment. with you releasing this video, you accidentaly gives suidobashi a step ahead. since they could assest your mech robot capability using this video robot (well not all of it, but generaly) and they could make a plan how to beat you from this video assestment. note : please forgive me for my poor grammar.
Well one would think if Suidobashi was building a custom model to take on the Megabot they would do the honorable thing, and release a similar demonstration of there bot. Plus Team USA has released videos since the kick starter detailing every aspect of making their bot...so it isn't like they haven't had info. Plus the Kuratas has all of it's specs, and details publicly available to the open public. If anything the question is which of the load outs that Suidobashi makes for their bot will they bring.
They have a lot more tech than what they're showing off here... essentially what Megabots has shown us is an auto cannon, and Melee, as well as some of the precision of the weaponry. What we haven't seen, are all the other goodies we know they were talking about such as paint rocket pods and various other items.
I have to agree with you there, while I praise Megabots and their work, there are a few tactical options that Kuratas could use to win the day. It all depends on their robot and what they have built.
I used to be very happy to find this video channel-channel.I wanted to thanks in your time for this wonderful video!! I positively enjoying each little bit of it and Ive you bookmarked to take a look at new stuff you video post.
Even if they do have something. Suidobashi seems to be more concerned with looking cool than beating the shit out of the opponent. Eagle prime has one goal and one goal alone.... and while it does accomplish the looking cool part, that is secondary to it's primary function.
@MegaBots Inc, I've watched this since the first Kickstarter with the MK1. It's so awesome to see this fully working now, Im working on an engineering degree now and I hope to work for you guys in the future.
I have a feeling that that's not top speed, and that the miss was choreographed. This is most likely not the best the robot is capable of, just so that the competition underestimates them, at least a little. That being said, I don't think it's going to go 90 miles an hour and move unrealistically fast or have an emp grenade. Awesome cinematic, and can't wait to see more. Don't know if America will win the fight, but it will definitely be awesome for the viewers, and lead to some interesting (expensive) improvements afterwards. This is the future and it's insane these guys are making an awesome dream/hobby turn into a business, that may even profit in the future. Great work and can't wait to see your next version, and updates in the future. (As well as the awesome robot fight coming soon)
this is a most bad-ass "Model T of Battle Mechs"!!! The legs for leaning and sitting/standing are just WAY TOO COOL!!! I guess all the haters are comparing this to a Transformers movie and bummed because ITS ACTUALLY A REAL GIANT BATTLE MECH!!! CAPS LOCK DOESN'T DO JUSTICE!!!!! Ihopethisturnsintoasport Ihopethisturnsintoasport Ihopethisturnsintoasport
nice. I´m from south America and I´m glad that north America has built a robot and nominee it on the video as the America´s Giant Fighting Robot!! Thx for the free robot!!!
I just realized something no one is talking about... if its a 2 person mech, than they won't be in sync, and may have some delays, especially if the arm controller plans to do some quick shot to turn the battle around and can't tell the other in the heat of the battle, so the other is slightly delayed, IF the controls are 1 moves arms and other has shooting capabilities. Unless they pull some Pacific Rim stuff this is a serious flaw
Eliter 147 you don't know how weapons systems work do you? Plenty of good reasons for having two crewmen if there weren't why do you think atack helicopters use this same piloting doctrine? One pilots the other shoots that way you don't smash into a wall while focusing on the enemy.
I know this, I just feel like one of them has control of the arm, which is basically the aim mechanism with arm mounted weaponry and the other controls the weapons, the guy in the front seems control both movement and the arms, implying the other controls the fire button, but if one controls the movement, the other has the fire button it means the fire button guy doesn't have full controls of the aiming and weapon, so in my earlier statement, he could press a second too late after the other guy aims for him (yes I'm calling him the fire button guy)... I got this throughout the video when they did this, I'm not shaming them, just asking
Eliter 147 that's called redundancy both pilots likely have full control of the MECH but simply alternate their jobs depending on the state, so no the guy that controls the arms likely has control over all primary and secondary fire mechanisms as well as their triggers and the upper rotation of the Mk3 the other guy likely controls the movement of the mk3's lower body as well as the haidrolic systems and engine output.
Alright. Thanks for the explanation, but think about this, what if Kuratas brings a forklift meant to go really fast and tipped over the mark 3. It'd be real anticlimactic... and their redundancy probably wont help in that scenario. ;)
Eliter 147 Simple, It'll just squat down and change it's center of gravity to lower that risk, then grab kuratas and damage one of it's legs with the chainsaw. :D
I do congratulate you guys on finishing this, a wonderful masterpiece. Although please do tell us you'll be covering the wires in the back? A good shot will knock you out of the running early (If the match even does physically happen. Hell, all these delays are like Star Citizen's constant delays.) Lets hope Suidobashi can provide you with competition (I'm not American, so I lean more towards Suidobashi, I like designs that are more... sleek and are not just a half-track with arms.)
+fl00fydragon mechs are the product of western sci-fi novels. The japanese caught on to it in the 50s, and later made it mainstream through the 80s Japan-craze. You're using a device capable of accessing an enormous part of human extelligence - please exploit it beyond the sharing of your ignorance.
i feel betrayed o.0 having constantly been checking regularly for 2 years....i feel as though they should have let the public know the status. As is it's been so long, with it being 2 weeks past the supposed date, i honestly don't care anymore.
I feel you! I also have been waiting for 2 years. And with the way they're very silent now makes me feel this will not push through. They could at least give us a weekly update on the progress and cause of delays.
KRi Pler If it makes any of you feel better, I follow them on Facebook and Kurata arrived at the fight area a week and a half ago. It'll take a bit to upload, but it'll be worth seeing in the end. Just wait for the fight happen. It'll probably be on the recommended section of RUclips with one and a half million views anyway.
Living Here In Jersey Fighting villains from afar You gotta find first gear in your giant robot car You dig giant robots I dig giant robots We dig giant robots Chicks dig giant robots I loved it guys, well done
How would u know its fast if u didn't see the video?! Unless u read something wrong... But yeah, in the Kuratas display video it is showcased as fast, though it looks sped up, so yeah. Slow Kurata fantasized to have good speed. In my earlier comment I said Curates, 1 thing to say about that... Auto correct
Remember that the Kuratas was just a huge, glorified gunpla for rich collectionists that could barely move like this 12-ton hulk can drift around corners, much less actually fight anything. Mobility means nothing if they won't be able to scratch the Eagle Prime's paintjob until they eventually get cornered. Cross your fingers and hope the Kuratas team actually have put as much work into their robot as the MegaBots team have on theirs, because otherwise it's just gonna be very short and sad for the Kuratas...
Just so you all know, the US made a massive working construction mech far before japan ever did. Its called the Beetle. It weighed 77 tons. And it was made in 1958. thearmoredpatrol.com/2017/09/10/and-now-for-something-completely-different-the-beetle/#more-56227 cyberneticzoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/USAF-beetle-robot-x640.jpg kotaku.com/the-real-metal-gear-5556757
this video shows it being slow, looking back at other videos they did last month, there is more potential, and i feel like the slow motion video they did here is just silly since it was moving so slow in the first place. how slow it is in this video is in fact disappointing to me. i want to see what this thing can really do.
When you don't grow up but your toys do lol
I may have been born too late to explore the Earth, and too early to explore space. However, I WAS BORN IN THE PERFECT GENERATION TO EXPLORE AWESOME MECH FIGHTS
Wait, did you just drift a giant fighting robot? It really is the future.
Drakefance5 yes we did. And we even tried adding Eurobeat to the soundtrack but it sounded terrible.
The enemy would probably like the reference :D
Impossibru, Eurobeat never sounds terrible. You're not raging your dream enough.
+MegaBots Inc Have you been at this place before?
Alex Mauney I don't know but it's time to go
Cheezy dialogue? Check.
Red white and blue? Check.
Explosions? Check.
Just how I expected team U.S.A. to be:
Full Awesome.
Fuck Yeah!

When is the fight with Japan's robot?
Eli Horgan it was supposed to be last year....big disappointment like my expectations were...
+Tenshi LoveDragon Only the ignorant expect things. Disappointment comes from expectations. Therefore, only the ignorant can feel disappointment. Burn in Hell.
LMAO @ 'burn in hell' A bit harsh, don't ya think?

Considering the complete communication silence from Suidobashi, my guess is they either backed out, or Megabots and Suidobashi are hashing out legal details.
supposed to be in a few days.
So I see alot of exposed wires and hoses. Those need to be covered before the fight or we will get knocked out due to a mechanical or electrical issue caused by damaged lines. Even just a fiberglass shielding would provide some minor protection against scraps. Anything!
nathan smith Carbon fiber is stronger
Definitely the Achilles heel here. With all that exposed hydraulics and cooling equipment anyone on the ground with a .223 could render this thing useless in seconds.
good thing they don't plan to take it into combat but prototypes always are works of progress.
nathan smith just hope they add the "dentist" in the fight
DUNCAN FISHER? IS THAT YOU?
Boiler Plate we heard he needed a job after Solaris...
MegaBots Inc PLEASE have him be a commentator at the fight.
Maaayyyybeee...
I've been saying this for months. He's the ONLY qualified person to be a giant robot fight commentator.
George Ledoux you just made my day
This is so amazing!!!!! I can't believe we have real life giant robots!!! Great Job MegaBots!!!! You have brought the future to the present!
As long as the Soviet RPG-7 exists in the world, huge combat robots have no future.
THE ULTIMATE METAL GEAR!
Dëivitsu no it's a weapon to surpass metal gear
Dëivitsu a weapon to surpass metal gear
That is super impressive!! Well done MegaBots team! The throaty rumble of the LS3 engine was pure power!!! The drift was a great touch!
A Weapon To Surpass Metal Gear!!!!!

Why do we suffer to get more metal gears...

Fanboyinsm aside (and if you read this much) thank you for making this dream come true. Even if I am rooting for the Japanese team you and Kuratas have brought a piece of peace to this old sod as childhood dreams become a reality (somewhat. I mean it's not gundam or Knightmare frame levels but better something than nothing)
Just ....... thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you :)
YOOOO
It already happened tho - what we see is a compilation of the choreographed bot dance wit h special cinematic angles and slowdowns most likely.
The premiere is a re-play of the fight (which already happened in september) with some live-events in between.
I'm curious for the new Kuratas.
Can we put flames on the cannon barrels? Please
It's September 3rd and that August battle I don't see yet. . . 🤔🤔🤔
I appreciate the time you put into this little reveal video. I can tell you guys played Mechwarrior,lol. The bot looks great.

Aesome! Sooo, when is the MK3 vs Kuratas fight?
Alex DeLuna some time this month
Literally any time between now and 3 weeks from now
Will it be livestreamed?
SoulGamerBr nope. It will be recorded and then uploaded to RUclips.
Damian Casas as a matter fact it's been delayed again. Now the event will be held in September.
I'm more excited about this fight than McGregor vs Mayweather.
First of the Titan legions
commando1124 For the emperor!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love hearing George Ledoux's voice. He definitely needs to be the announcer for the fight! Duncan Fisher is the only worthy mech battle commentator.
::wipes tears:: Best video on RUclips! U-S-A! U-S-A!
Joshua Pritt I agree when the fight happans live on YT I'm going to say 3 things My money is on MK3 and USA,USA
I am loving that you guys got George Ledoux, aka Duncan Fisher, aka The Voice of The People of Solaris VII, aka THE BEST VOICE FOR ANY MECH COMMENTARY! Seriously hope you guys have him with you at the fight commenting LIVE for the fight.
Although I do have a question. Where can i find the song you guys used for this vid? I need this to blast as i stomp around in MW:O!
I heard the fight was this month? Is it still happening or is it delayed?
We've followed the development of this sucker every step of the way, and somehow the debut still feels fresh and epic. Well done, people.
Hello?! MegaBots? its the 19th of august.... when do you go up against japan?! what day? what location? Tell us!
That things maneuvers a hell of a lot better than I thought it would. Drifting around corners? Mind blown!
OOOOOOY, August is almost over and I have yet to see 2 Robots turn each other to scrap metal!!
When i was young,all the cool out of this world technology i saw in sci-fi films fascinated me. But now these things are becoming real day by day,week by week and year by year....they just don't fascinate me anylonger... Like it becomes so mundane -.-
MEGABOT LOVE FOREVER!!!!!
MegaBots Inc., your team has done a fantastic job. That's a lot of time, effort and drive right there; Eagle Prime looks like a beast.
Looking forward to the big duel with the Kuratas. Go, Team USA!
You should add Japanese subtitles
the layers
I so hope this starts a world wide mecha fighting league :3 that would be flipping awesome!
i came
i saw
I CAME
The only thing i'm sad about right now is that I can only like this once!!!
"don't get too cocky!"
IT's been a long road and we are SUPER STOKED FOR YOU GUYS!!!!!!!
Hey Megabots Inc! When is the fight happening? It's almost October now and I haven't heard any update on the big fight! I need to know the details so I can fly my family out there for the match :D
Jake Fields it's in Oct the 27 or 28 so f=%k
Messi Mensi thanks for the update I'll mark it on my calender
It's almost October. Where the fight at ?
i have low expectation since this is the very first moment that will probably be a pioneer for mecha duel tournament.
you know first planes doesn't look that cool
+Bonaventura they'll get there one day

I hear they are underfunded.
This could be one sided.
But we shouldn't let our guard down.
rumors are just that rumors, but they have enough funding I believe.

"All systems nominal"
I love you guys so much
So when is the battle? I thought it was set for August, is that still the case?
this is a most bad-ass "Model T of Battle Mechs"!!! The legs for leaning and sitting/standing are just WAY TOO COOL!!! I guess all the haters are comparing this to a Transformers movie and bummed because ITS ACTUALLY A REAL GIANT BATTLE MECH!!! CAPS LOCK DOESN'T DO JUSTICE!!!!!
Ihopethisturnsintoasport Ihopethisturnsintoasport Ihopethisturnsintoasport
Is this happening in real life? Transformers are real? why i didnt know this earlier?!?!
What the fuck!
yea, this has been happening for a while, started on kickstarter i think 2 years ago.
Jonttu here kitty kitty :V
Jonttu this aint no transformers niga
What exactly does it "transform" into?
hey, august is about to end but how come you still haven't post some updates about the fight? i thought it will happen this august?
Drifting..... War machine....
I'm happy because, I'm living to tell a tale of robo-war.... To next generation....
nice. I´m from south America and I´m glad that north America has built a robot and nominee it on the video as the America´s Giant Fighting Robot!! Thx for the free robot!!!

News from Megabots FB page 30th september.
Apparently the duel is already over and took place over several days/rounds. Video inc soon.
Maaan so f... hyped,just really can't wait for the battle!
The standing up part was unexpected and cool, but the walking mega bot of South Korea is still better
It's August so when is it gonna happen, or are you waiting for that other fight to blow over....
When do we fight japan and liberate their people from anime?
Sometime this month
*in september, got delayed again.
you make no sense
the awesomeness known as giant fighting mechs is born of anime and condensed badass
+fl00fydragon mechs are the product of western sci-fi novels. The japanese caught on to it in the 50s, and later made it mainstream through the 80s Japan-craze.
You're using a device capable of accessing an enormous part of human extelligence - please exploit it beyond the sharing of your ignorance.
Modlio ya sure, no one gave shit about mechs before japan did it.
Finally, a weapon not to surpass Metal Gear, but a weapon THAT IS METAL GEAR.
RPG would take it out really easy LoL . Cool anyway . How much ?
That's what a shield is for.
Same with tanks really and then we have reactive armor
Yeah? and?
wtf nigga that's like judging paintball armor by its ability to stop a 9mm. this is a recreational fighting robot, like paintball, but with mechs.
It's like the Gen 1 robots in real steel
I'm not exactly sure if this has been asked yet, but what's the music used? Something produced in house, or is something else?
AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!
Nick Smith
Murica*
+Larzuk Of course when then USA and Japan cooperate, extraordinary things happen. There's no alliance like the USA-Japan alliance.
Nick Smith I can safely say I'm the reason why you have 150 likes I even the number for you
Nick Smith yes
Still waiting for that fight it is September already.
Was the drifting on purpose? Or was it a pleasant surprise?
I was told the first comment was a hilariously brutal critique of this machine's design. ...Where the fuck is it?
MURICAH!! :D Keep up the awesome work, MegaBots.
i feel betrayed o.0 having constantly been checking regularly for 2 years....i feel as though they should have let the public know the status. As is it's been so long, with it being 2 weeks past the supposed date, i honestly don't care anymore.
I feel you! I also have been waiting for 2 years. And with the way they're very silent now makes me feel this will not push through. They could at least give us a weekly update on the progress and cause of delays.

KRi Pler Let me know if it works. :)
Where's the fight as in where can I watch it? Cause it's September and I can't find your fight with Japan.
damian drackoul it'll be on their RUclips channels but it won't be uploaded for another couple of days I think
you guys got 6 days just saying
When is this happening.. been following it for years now and i read august but still cannot find it anywhere.. its September now. Whats the deal?
30 august 2017... so?
And this is why I love this channel
Well done, mega b's, kuratas. Poor Kuratas!
Living Here In Jersey
Fighting villains from afar
You gotta find first gear in your giant robot car
You dig giant robots
I dig giant robots
We dig giant robots
Chicks dig giant robots
I loved it guys, well done
This looks epic, but the Kuratas is much faster. Power is useless if you can't aim at your enemy, so they better have a good stategy.
Except for the fact that their speed on that video is fake and the Curates is much slower :D
In what video?
Eric Lecarde the vid of the kuratas
How would u know its fast if u didn't see the video?! Unless u read something wrong... But yeah, in the Kuratas display video it is showcased as fast, though it looks sped up, so yeah. Slow Kurata fantasized to have good speed.
In my earlier comment I said Curates, 1 thing to say about that... Auto correct
Remember that the Kuratas was just a huge, glorified gunpla for rich collectionists that could barely move like this 12-ton hulk can drift around corners, much less actually fight anything. Mobility means nothing if they won't be able to scratch the Eagle Prime's paintjob until they eventually get cornered.
Cross your fingers and hope the Kuratas team actually have put as much work into their robot as the MegaBots team have on theirs, because otherwise it's just gonna be very short and sad for the Kuratas...
Nice work Eagle Prime indeed. Giant fighting bots for real in my lifetime. :)
Just so you all know, the US made a massive working construction mech far before japan ever did.
Its called the Beetle.
It weighed 77 tons.
And it was made in 1958.

I miss you guys 😢
Wrong the true robot or mecha is
GIPSY DANGER
THE ONLY ONE AND TRUE
This is awesome, I have been following all the videos since day one. Needs legs though, mobility...
That car fire was fake af
will additional armor be added? I see a lot of uncovered components that could be vulnerable
Это не робот, это трактор с высокой кабиной и манипулятором.
Кот ученый у нас бы такой в полях вкалывал
i see russians planning to make their own megabot
It will be made of cast iron.
What happened to the robot fight with japan that was supposed to happen in August?!

*When is the duel?*
This thing is so damn slow and disappointing. as cool as this concept is, its rather boring to watch to be honest.
prncofdrknes
Well also planes when the wright brothers created their first prototype
well MKiii and it's going into battle aparently. i do hope this is just slow for the video and we get to see it's actual speed soon.
prncofdrknes Well this isn't exactly year 2056.
this video shows it being slow, looking back at other videos they did last month, there is more potential, and i feel like the slow motion video they did here is just silly since it was moving so slow in the first place.
how slow it is in this video is in fact disappointing to me. i want to see what this thing can really do.
prncofdrknes WTF you talking about this robot is way faster than before 3x faster dude
any news on what Suidobashi Heavy Industries is cooking up?.
Cringe.
Benjamin
Yes Joe, your comment is very Cringe.
R O A S T E D
Oh no.
Can't wait to see more teams to join the game.
I was a bit sceptic, but the end-result's great for the "firsts" bots! Nice job :)
what is the name of the music played in the background ?
So is their a date for the fight yet? Im still super excited
Nice MK3. Good to see you guys weren't being idle. I hope you you have a way to cover up those exposed wires and couplings though.
Awesome video! Just wondering, where is the eagle head?
Looks very top heavy, does it have a self righting mechanism?
Will the "recording" of the fight be 1:! as it happened - or will you give us a compilation with special effects to make it look "cool"?
WHEN IS THIS FIGHT HAPPENING, ITS SEPTEMBER ALREADY
I WAT TO SEE GIANT ROBOTS CRUSH EACHOTHER
What do you do if the arm are inoperable. Awesome though.
when is the duel against the japanese one ? its been so many years of waiting now :/
Wow, It's really big! I wish someday, we'll gonna see Transformers like Robots😍👌
Does anyone know what Japans plans or what their mech look like now
when is the fight?
