Are the 50 foot tall mechanical beasts of anime legend as far off as we think? I think what really stirred my interest in this topic is the picture of the valkyrie shown in the anime picture thread: http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/2492/...all7ek.jpg
It's cross sectioned and alot of the major components (ie. flir, iff, and radar) identified. It doesn't look that far off from a modern day f14 or 15, which leads me to believe that maybe, just maybe it's possibe.
A friend of mine told me I was crazy for even thinking about it, said there wasn't enough space for all the crap it needed to move, too heavy, blah blah. I want to hear everyone else's take on wether mecha in the future are possible, and wether or not they are would be needed.
