| i've got something shocking to tell you (you might want to sit down): the japanese did not invent the concept of the battle-mech. in fiction, that honor falls to the tri-pods from h.g. wells' war of the worlds. in reality, it falls to the united states army. yes, america was manufacturing real-life steel walkers before japan had even sketched their first dual-function cock/cockpit. |
