Seriously, if I ever hit the lottery, this thing is going in the garage.

Hydraulic, diesel robots are slow, noisy and smelly. Wait for the electric or hybrid versions with the keen linear motors.

Nah - I want a giant, industrial monstrosity, not a twenty-foot tall ASIMO.

There is something to be said for hulking monstrosity vs cuddly giant robot.

Exactly. I want a fearsome walker that belches smoke and drowns itself in diesel as it stalks the Earth. I want that robot to be able to change into a Hummer that feeds on the blood of Pandas, a metallic monstrosity whose very existence is an affront to God. An Abomitron, if you will. Granted, this particular engine of ruin only travels at six mph, so image is important.
Maybe I should just hold out for a Gundam. Or at least a Voltron.
I feel as though, as a larger than average individual, that I would not fit comfortably in that cockpit. I, too, feel as though if I were 1.3 million richer, I would buy it though. It looks fucking cool.
The smile controlled gun system seems insanely Japanese.
