force field

725 million dollars.That's just parts alone.The gundams are very expensive.

Doesn't Japan already have a real full-sized model one?

Unless the mech was some sort of Gundum type mech wouldn't it lose balance with a single tank shot? Plus it would be crazy expensive to produce

A better idea is not make them so big.maybe 15-20 ft tall.and making the mech able to jump using a combo of leg piston like jumps with the aid of rocket thrusters.if tuned well,if the meck could jump 50-100 feet in a matter of seconds,a mech could destroy tanks and helicopters with ease.just jump and land on top of the tanks and crush them.jumping from tank to tank.and give it a sword about 12-15ft long that weighs bout 10-15 tons,it could take a copter out in 1 leap.

well the news guy did say, LIKE a futuristic force field. XD

Are you guys really discussing whether Mechs would be practical weapons? Because they would get absolutely wasted in combat. This is war, not some asian jerk off fantasy

its a shot gun, that shoots at the rocket, activating or disabling it, while its not in contact with armor, just an automated radar guided one.

You're right, i saw this the other day and thought it was a force field, but it's actually an interceptor. The "bubble" is a field of detection and the point of interception. This device shoots a projectile at the oncoming missile's trigger/nose - you can clearly see it in the video, and you can understand it by the underhanded language/doublespeak they are using.

The Mecha is practical because the Japanese already perfected the video game system and now they need something else to work on.

I consider this ot be the best answer to my question.
