The future is now- build your own Mech

The future is now. Or at least, it's soon, and over $1 million dollars away for those interested, as Japanese company Suidobashi has announced plans to build custom, actual, operational mechs.Named the "KURATAS", the vehicles will come at a standard price of USD$1.3 million, with additional accessories like shields and weapons available for around $50-80,000 each. You even get to choose the paint scheme.
While there's the whiff of a scam to the whole thing - especially given the fact we never see one actually moving on a road (and no, some bad CG of one rolling through Shibuya doesn't count) - there's at least one operational model that you can see in a promotional video below (which also gives a fairly comprehensive breakdown of how it actually "works").
Those expecting a futuristic level of driver comfort, be warned: the creators state that each vehicle is an "art piece", designed to make "your dream of becoming a robot pilot" come true. Or, more bluntly, "it doesn't guarantee you safety and comfort".
Which seems OK by me. This thing has a computer targeting system and functional (if non-lethal) weaponry. It's even got iPhone compatibility. If a bumpy ride is the price I have to pay to be able to drive a mech around in 2012, then you know what, so be it.

just need a million dollar's :T_T:

I'll take one! What kind of sheilds does it have? That armour isn't gonna' last long once they military is called in to take me out, so really need some specs on the sheilds and how fast they recharge.

I really hate the saying 'The future is now." When the future can never be in the present or it is not the future!
