Japan vs. USA: First Ever Giant Robot Battle is Happening This Year


Japan and USA are about to face off in an awesome way: giant robot battle! Back in 2015, the American team, Megabots Inc. challenged the Japanese Suidobashi for a giant robot fight for the world to enjoy, and of course they accepted with the one condition. Now, Megabots, who raised $500,000 on Kickstarter, has just announced that the first ever giant robot battle will happen in August 2017.

Check out the announcement video:

As stated in the video, you can watch the battle in either team's YouTube channel. It's interesting that the location of the battle was not specified. Wouldn't they want live spectators for such a historical event?

Giant robots have always been a staple of Japanese anime; even Suidobashi reminded them: "Giant robots are Japanese culture." I hope this is just the first of many robot duels to come. I'm excited to see how this Gundam-inspired battle will unfold in August. We'll keep you updated here on Epicstream about that fight.
