Suidobashi Japan Accepts Megabots America’s Robot Duel Challenge, We Live in the Future Now

File this one under “headlines we never thought we’d seriously get to write.”

U.S.-based giant heavy bot producer (yeah that’s a thing) Megabots challenged their Japanese robot counterparts Suidobashi to a robot duel to take place next year. Well, Suidobashi responded, accepting the Americans’ challenge. They even threatened to add melee combat capabilities, which, let’s face it, sounds incredibly terrifying for our young Jaeger pilots. Speaking of, how apropos for the American bot to require two pilots.

Hmm.
