    Yeah it is wasteful or worthless. The designer even said “we made it to look like anime”. Mechs are incredibly impractical in anything in the real world. There’s a reason why they haven’t been made (and that reason isn’t “lack of technology”)

        The designers aren’t also saying “this will be used to make mechs fight”. They want it in disaster recovery and aerospace use. Where they are extremely not worth it.

      I live on the same planet as someone who doesn’t see the value of piloting this thing and shouting “get away from her you BITCH” or standing in awe of it and saying “Metal Gear?!”
