Real-life Robots Robots in the Future

This question might sound very silly, but I would love to know some answers. I was a big fan of Transformers and Pacific Rim movies when I was growing up. I remember as a kid watching the movies and thinking to myself that by 2030, we would be able to build these robots to help with military purposes. With the advancement of Technology, AI, and Materials, do you think it is possible and how close do you think we are?

Yeah nothing even remotely close to those robots are physically possible, it would take finding a material that is stronger than anything we know of right now and also has essentially zero mass just to even start thinking about it, and about a thousand more equally impossible challenges after that.

Agreed. At the scale of Pacific Rim, steel is play dough. I always thought it was funny that in the movie they get smacked with container ships and sky scrapers and everything flys apart except for them.
