I thought this article was going to be about Eagle Prime, a $2.5M robot that was designed to actually fight against a japanese one, but ended up getting auctioned off on ebay after the parent company went bankrupt[0]
The japanese robot is pretty cool too: "The vehicle can be "armed" with multiple weapons, such as a 6,000 round per minute twin BB rotary cannon, a "LOHAS" launcher which fires either water bottles[4] or possibly fireworks, and a powered humanoid hand called the "iron crow" that is capable of picking up objects, and is linked to the pilot by "what appears to be a Mattel Power Glove". The main Suidobashi website lists two other "weapons", a "Kuratas Handgun", and a "Pilebunker"."[1]
