Seems to be a good day in the world of robotics, first GuardRobo, the crime-fighting champion of mall security, then this 3.4M tall walking gun-platform. Fortunately, unlike its security guard brethren, the Land Walker is controlled directly by a human, is based on the fictitious Gundam cartoon character and only capable of firing foam bullets. Phew. It weighs in at 1 ton and can walk forwards, backwards and sideways at an unthreatening 1.5kph. And if you think the neighbourhood kids are becoming a bit of a pest then Masaaki Nagumo will happily custom build you your very own Land Walker for a the princely sum of 36m yen (about £186,000).

i think it would be really good if this was faster and fired plastic rather than foam. Also it should be cheaper if it only goes that fast and only fires foam no offence.

It is more of a MechWarrior robot, or mobile suit rather. A gundam is a humaniod, this Mobile suit is more like a bird.
