Your giant transforming mech for $650,000

After the kung-fu robot and the monk robot, the Chinese company Unitree is riding high in the robotics field, and this time they've unveiled a giant exoskeleton—or mecha, as they say in Japanese animation—a little brother to the Power Loader from the famous final scene of Aliens. A machine that also bears a striking resemblance to the Jaegers from Pacific Rim. More than just a demonstration project, the device is already on sale starting at $650,000, a mere trifle for bored billionaires who want to smash brick walls (not concrete, see video) aboard a giant robot. And if that weren't enough, the device can "transform" into a quadrupedal version. An impressive machine for a first generation, even if ergonomics and comfort don't seem to have been a priority in its design, judging by how awkwardly the demonstrator tries to get into the machine in the demonstration video.
