How many poor/starving/ill-educated/medically deprived/broadband-destitute children cold have been helped with such money?

NoBama, The One, will soon put a stop to such waste, mark my words.

That would only be cool if it actually worked.

I like big robots and big monsters as much as the next guy, but I'll admit I've never really understood Japan's fixation on them.

That being said, more power to them.

Bullshit we all know that they already have them. They are just waiting for SHTF before they deploy them.

It will work then they build transformers.

LMAO. Did not know staff had a sense of humor, outside of issuing bans/locks/suspensions/smack-downs.

They already have small test versions, to work out the bugs (upgraded Asimo)...

Wasn't there a well done video of a WWII giant Nazi robot that attacks the mainland and a giant US robot defeats it?

It ended with a giant Samauri robot coming next.

Anyone got a link to the video??

Awesome!

We have Micky Mouse....they have Gundam. I think a 30 foot tall Gundam is a bit better than say a 30 foot tall mouse in his underwear....

I want a Nu Gundam. With working Vulcan guns, bazooka, beam weapons, beam cannon, fin funnels, and Minovsky reactor.

And then I want GPS coordinates for Osama bin Laden.

Kou would be impressed.

I bet it takes a metric shitload of glue to put that thing together

I would rather have EVA 01, or a Gasaraki Raiden, but that is still cool.

After the A-Bomb, Japan has a thing with giant forces that will come to save them,, IE godzilla being a "goodguy" in most of the movies

In 2nd grade....

All I drew was gundam battles.
That was the most badass show ever. I was so pissed because toonami always said Dragon Ball Z was the #1 action show.
Dragon Ball Z is crap. Mobile Suit Gundam FTW!
