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!" Though considering the weight and size of those things maybe "Plummeting" would be more apt.
