Oooh I want one of those..... let's open a mutual bank account for all forum members into which we can pool our resources, then we can all buy one and conquer a modest nation for ourselves..... Phong Nation, anyone?

Looks dreadfully unstable. Give it a good push and you could tip it over. Not really something I'd want to use to carve out a nation for myself.

Nobody COULD tip it over. As soon as they get near, they'd be under fire from 2 different kinds of weapons.

No, we'll let them develop the design a bit further, and THEN we'll use them to carve out a nation dedicated to SEIV, SEV and Malfador.....

Two weapons, which, from watching the video, appear to be highly inaccurate pingpong ball launchers. All it takes is one hobo with a trash-can lid shield and it's all over. It's still bloody impressive, though, but I think it's a good few decades from being able to dominate anything larger than the neighbourhood pets.

/me slaps his forehead.....

Well you gotta outfit the bloody thing with REAL ammo then! Rockets in the 6-barreled rotary launcher, a machine gun on the other side, and voila! You can use it to kill people!

And nine inch nails and 20ft flame burst can't? I'm going with Canada's finest exo-suit power armour type thing, at least that has the weapons already integrated.

When can I purchase a Wing Gundam to fly around in?

Oh, simply add rocket boosters and a pair of wings to the thing and it'll fly.

I'm thinking it wouldn't fly...

More "Falling, With Style!" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Though considering the weight and size of those things maybe "Plummeting" would be more apt.
