Know what's cooler than robots? Fighting. Know whats cooler than fighting? Robots fighting. That's right folks. Japanese Suidobashi Heavy Industry and American MegaBots are prepping for the first ever piloted mech duel.
It's the collision between Transformers and G.U.N.D.A.M. Japan has accepted the Boston based mecha company's challenge with this video
Obviously there's no doubt who I'm rooting for, and blacksmith Kogoro Kurata seems to agree.
"There's no way we can let another country win this. Giant robots are Japanese culture."
Roughly 11 months from now, the two giants will go head to head in what can most likely be described as an all out metal grind.
Lets take a look at the specs.
MegaBots Mark II
This beast weighs roughly 5,400kg and operates on tracks with two pilots in the cockpit.
Kuratas
This monster rides on wheels as opposed to tracks. Based off Japanese robot culture and designs, the Kuratas robot specs aren't really known yet for a reason: they're changing it up to wreck the Americans.

It fires 1.3kg paintball pellets at 161kph. Not bad.

| Did someone say world domination? |
"But you know, we really need... melee combat. If we're going to win this, I want to punch them to scrap and knock them down to do it."
11 months ladies and gents. 11 months.
