If you've ever wanted a mech warrior

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/11/29/mech/

The Kuratas robot weighs in at 4 tonnes, and is 4 metres (13 feet) tall, so the pilot straps in at the head, ready to stride across the most desolate apocalyptic wasteland and do battle with combatants with equally disposable resources, though they'll have to make do with ball-bearing guns for the moment - until the real apocalypse arrives at least.

If I had $1.3 million to spend it would be spent on hookers, beer, fast cars and cocaine. Not a stupid robot

Only another $100m to have it fitted out for combat use. Bargain!

As for the mech; looks very easy to bring down.
