It had problems with snow speeders that could shoot towlines, and tiny teddybears with spears

I feel like everything robotic on two legs have to look futuristic but never a box on legs.

I heard that the Russians built wanted their walker to be able to cross swamps. So, the scientists followed moose a round to see how they did it. Only to find that the moose would go around the swamp.

That machine would have been terrifying at night on the battlefield

The balancing solution is actually pretty ingenious.
I think one tech that could greatly boost this would be artificial muscles.
The main problem would remain power, however.

Get in the robot, Shinji! Or the KGB will sabotage it again.

[QuantumAscension]

They'd need to make this thing look at least 35% less derpy to get my support lol

Broke: "What happened to giant walking machines?"

Woke: "How feasible is METAL GEAR?"

[evilmotorsports]

Ewoks are the reason why we can't have nice things.

A donkey does transport functions across rough territory, including mountains and jungles, is able to execute voice commands, is low profile / low visible, is able to self fuel using local plant resources, can swim, is not harmed by water and is very cheap. They even self replicate.

Ah yes Star Trek the very first Sci Fi universe that comes to mind when I think of giant walking machines.

i think its hilarious that mobile suits are mostly possible and we've tried our goddamn hardest to build them and we just never had the money or practical application for them

[nong]

Obligatory "A weapon to surpass Metal Gear!" comment

[chheinrich]

A two legged sidewinder, thunderbirds fans will understand

[WilmerStanley]

All I can think when I see this thing is
Robot: "What is my purpose?"
Rick Sanchez: "You pass butter."

[TheBigExclusive]

We sent them all to Pandora to enslave blue cat aliens.

[RidinDirtyRollinBurnouts]

If we chased this tech tree far enough, we could've had Battlemechs by now

[UncleManuel]

Anakin Skywalker called. He wants to talk to you about those Imperial walkers. 😁

[cainednd]

A couple of machine guns and a medium laser and you've got a Locust 1V prototype. :)

2:40 I like the worried looking little girls in the background watching the robotic arms twirling a hula hoop!
