watch the real METAL GEAR:

it does look clumsy, but this shit has some potential,
give it 40 more years, and the sci-fi METAL GEAR might really come to live.

Now only if the looked like this

That thing looked crappy, and arms as guns has no purpose. Plus these just look coo, I know what they are, and if you don't, I'm not going to say it, people make fun of me too much for it.

you have to keep in mind that who made that robot isnt bill gates, and he doesnt own a company like suzuki or honda,

its very primitive but its about the concept,

Lol, I understand they are trying, and maybe someday they can get them to look like that.

Hmm I wonder if robots are such a good idea, were alive so why make robots and why do people waste there time making this stuff. Technology keeps making us lazier...

Yeah, thats pretty amazing, the Japanese are like the guru's of robotics, they have always been obsessed with making them, and have always wanted more of a humanoid robot more than the American mech. Lol, that was really cool, they looked so smooth in there movements. Plus since they are robots, everything can be programmed right down to the precise moment to give it that amazing feel. And to think, someday, people will laugh at us for being amazed at this. Oh and btw, that image I posted, is of an MS-06J Zaku II. It's out the Japanese anime, Mobile Suit Gundam. Yes I am obsessed with the show as well. It came out in 1979, which wa sabout the point robotics got really popular in Japan, it's known as one of the premier anime's in Japan, and is one of the best, it also has several add ons through different time lines or through a different unit, "Mobile Suits" are a humanoid war machine basically, which can carry many different types of weapons, my name here, Shiro, came from MS: Gundam, 08th MS team. I'm sorry, I just find this stuff fascinating.

hmmm I wonder what’s so interesting about robots, I think it just shows weird humans can be. Why make metallic replicas of a human being. Can’t they just reproduce them selves with a male and female like normal people…? Technology, something that needs to be questioned without a doubt, not everything the human made in the past years was good…

At the moment they are just experimenting to see what they can do, not really a matter of actually doing something, just for entertainment and like I said, testing there limits, plus we want to build things like these because whoever has htim in the war has the advantage, they are intimidating, (the huge ones) and can be quite hard to take down, plus they have more abilities than a normal human or a vehicle, huge robots like these can pick up a weapon like a human, and can carry bigger ones, a tank, is only good for attacking this it's size or relitave to it's size, shooting a human with a tank is worthless, but now, with these, making weapons is simply a matter of upping the size on what we already have, and we can have automatic 120mm assault rifles. So basically what it does is gives us the advantage against others, and the enviornment.

you cant expermiment stuff on living humans, it would be against the law,
and i think it would be kinda sick, and what you mean is bio-technology,
and bio-technology gives me the creeps, just think of resident evil

What do you mean bio-technology, where did you get that from? Yes it is a term but from where in this thread was that mentioned or a miss conception of it?

what -Aequitas- ment whas bio-technology

Well ok, but bio technology is more like bionics, attaching robotic parts to a human, creating a human-like robot would be a humanoid robot. As for extreme, to where the robot has movement and limitations, and looks like a human, has fingers, toes, nose, eyes, ears, skin, all that stuff, is a cyborg. I know it sounds awfully hoaky, always has, but it didn't the day it came out, people have just made to many terms out of it, but it is the term for that.

thats cybornetics. Biotech actually has more to do with research and medical development rather than making super enhanced humans which again reminds me of how stupid of a movie Universal Soldier is and all its sequels.

What the hell... oka you got me wrong, really wrong... Thats not even what im talking about, anyways i guess its just to simple to understand that technology is making us lazier... Bio technology I didn’t even talk about that. What I meant was, why make robots (to replace humans or something) it’s a waste of time.
