1) Watch the video:

Warning: “Kuratas” is an art piece. It is not a normal vehicle, so it doesn’t guarantee you safetyand comfort. However, it makes your dream of becoming a robot pilot come true.

2) Read specs

Starting at $1.35 million, the “Kurata” is a personal mech that is armed with loads of features:

Details:

  • 4.4 tons
  • $1.35 million
  • Customizable paint job
  • Wirelessly controllable over 3G.
  • Top speed: 10 kph (6.2 mph)
  • Diesel engine (mpg?)
  • LOHAS launcher: The eco-friendly bottle launcher.
  • Twin gatling guns fire 6000 BB bullets/minute
  • “Smile shot” – Smile-activated firing mode. ”You will be able to take out all enemies with a single smile.”
  • Lock on to enemy targets
  • Phone connection in cockpit

Cons:

  • Doesn’t walk or run
  • No jet pack.
  • Expensive to upgrade. The mechs start at $1.35 million, but it’s not hard to beef it up to $2 million. Once the company has made all of the upgrades available, you’ll be able to spend another million or two on it. Adding a drink holder costs 100 USD, and the gatling gun adds 70,000 USD.

If you’re rich enough and haven’t built your own mech yet, the Kurata is a decent entry mech.
