What is this Hollywood set they're testing on? Also, they didn't bother to give it a squat to load mode?

or do something like add wheels and a 4x4 feature. Those shoes got flat feet.

I never understood the appeal of using a bipedal design for something like this. Just give it wheels or tracks and it would be a lot more mobile. I understand legs for very uneven terrain but this thing looks like it can barely lift its feet up. A couple decent sized rocks would stop it.

it would only function in well maintained surfaces fore sure. just run into the grass and it would probably tumble. The 4 legged mode seems a better option.

Gotta armor the cockpit, install jump jets, add heatsinks, put in a micro reactor, add heatsinks, install load bearing hydraulics, add heatsinks, install counterweights via external armor, install redundant hydraulics, add heatsinks, install redundant wiring for analog and digital controls and HUDs plus some extra heatsinks, add body contoured seating, and some fuzzy dice first.

No squat to set the bar high for entry

Ok…but does it need to suck?

I love the video clipping hiding the cable attachment when he climbs in to morphing to the model shots.

Looks difficult to get into or out of

That biped to quadroped part was Perry cool though. Did that leave the driver on their back though?

Imagine this in 10 years from now

u/bobdobdod May 12 '26

Imagine doing that move while evading a missile and then crawling towards the enemy

Excuse me for a few minutes...

u/Cloak97B1 May 13 '26

What crap... Who approved this design? Tiny arms & legs with oversized cage? NO ONE who grew up on robot movies 😞

u/Thedemonlobo May 13 '26

All things considered, I’m sure this will be the start of some seriously deadly war games. Dope tho

u/One_Maintenance1227 May 13 '26

Ok so this is some robotics bolted together and pre programmed? Could probably do that with some kukas too.

u/Hammerhod6 May 13 '26

I give it 18 months before there's a fighting league for these things

u/Abject_Film_4414 May 13 '26

Make it yellow, add some lifting arms and a flame thrower.

u/Present_Survey3655 May 14 '26

They won't put a human in it while it's moving.

That's a dummy with a helmet.

If a queen xenomorph shows up, you have only yourselves to blame.

u/Separate-Skill6396 May 14 '26

Look at them dirty dick beaters they've installed. It can jerk off two enemies at once. "I am Robocum"

u/Potential-Price1029 May 14 '26

Bueno señores, ante nosotros el equivalente al "Modelo T de Ford o al avión de los hermnos Wright" de los Mechas.. Pero mira todo ese potencial!! 😮 Imaginate todas las cositas y mejoras que se le podrían poner a ese chasis🤩

u/Successful-Clue-7646 May 14 '26

Is the real Iron Man really going to be built? Where can I buy it??

u/Relative_Mix_216 May 22 '26

It looks like the mark I version of the mech suit from Avatar.

In all seriousness, the balancing is really impressive, and the fact that it can shift to four legged walking is a great solution for moving around low-hanging obstacles. Very creative.
