      It may reassure you guys to know that the constitution of our company forbids weaponization. Sport, search and rescue, construction, forestry, just plain fun, but on dystopian colonial slaughter in the name of unsustainable resource extraction. We’re good.

    Crazy but im waiting for the iron man type suit.

      well the flying is already there

    Walking feels slow and inefficient. Maybe he needs to learn to walk like a dog.

      or a GORILLA

    this suit is a wastage of money and time

    reminds me of the matrix and avatar

    I applaud their work, but next time let’s see Boston Dynamics have their take at it.

    • Furrion Exo-Bionics

      August 21, 2020 at 11:00 pm

      Apples and oranges. Our mechs are made for pilots. BD hardware is made to replace pilots.

    Mech suit racing already exists. It’s called the IGPX

    • Furrion Exo-Bionics

      August 21, 2020 at 10:56 pm

      That’s wicked looking game, but I hate to break the news buds: it’s not real.

    • TheDragonaf1

      August 21, 2020 at 10:58 pm

      @Furrion Exo-Bionics it’s an anime, one of the best. It’s deffinatly the best amoung racing anime.

  14. Jeffrey Allen

    August 21, 2020 at 5:20 pm

    Hacksmith is building the power loader from aliens so they should totally race once its done.

    • Furrion Exo-Bionics

      August 21, 2020 at 10:53 pm

      Alas, James’s Power Loader would not qualify as full blown mech since it doesn’t have legs….but we may make an exception. What sort of features would you put on the course to challenge both machines?

    I love sci fi because its possible, just need the money and mind.

    It’s a real mobile game you can play for free!

    If you want pilots, get real Mech pilots. They’re in every country, all age groups, and from all walks of life.
    They understand the mechanics already. They have all the enthusiasm for the project in the world, too. Find them, they’re out there.

      I’m so glad we dont have to deal with an IC engine + a fuel tank. The amount of maintenance done on our electric motors in 4 years of run time = zero.

    This might evolve into those Pacific Rim mechs. Or whatever you pick

  32. elias gim

    it looks creepy and awesome at the same time

  33. Robert Gardner

    August 22, 2020 at 4:02 pm

    It’s big slow and sluggish. And most importantly not user friendly

  34. sainsburyshopper

    August 22, 2020 at 4:26 pm

    I always thought it’d be Japan who made the first real Gundam.

    They should make the cockpit gyroscopic and make the suit capable of rolling.

  42. JCrules

    August 22, 2020 at 11:06 pm

    Wow! Getting ready for sports? Way cooler then designing them to assist earth quakes, floods, or other large scale disasters…

  43. William Knowles

    So when do the preorders start for these?

  44. The Puglas

    August 23, 2020 at 7:32 am

    5.6km/h in manual. Imagine how fast and nimble with sensors and AI like Spot.

  45. CycoWarriorx

    August 23, 2020 at 1:27 pm

    They’ll be other applications for this… not just “racing”…

    1 hour of battery life? Just like my iPhone!

    Look like an absolute waste of money. Congratulations!

    Millions of dollars spent on prolonged erections, hair loss, and now machines for sports. Our society is not going to last!

    August 23, 2020 at 4:54 pm

    I wish I could try this. I have had dreams of this. I really believe I’d be good at being a mech pilot. In these times money is out of the question. Maybe one day. Kids come first. One day Daddy will play.

    Neat, though pointless as most things.

    • Djurren

      August 25, 2020 at 7:32 pm

      Check the main channel (Furrion Exo-Bionics). The main idea behind it is a racing mech where athletes are put to the test to push their physical mastery even further.

    August 24, 2020 at 9:07 pm

    Dude should be proud what an accomplishment.

  64. Sam Chiu

    He struggling ro drive this stupid thing. Isn’t it easier for him to walk? He didn’t walk on amy hard terrain where suit going to help him instead he was struggling to walk on flat area…come back when minimize it and when suit walk for you not opposite

  69. Yeah Okey
