Japan startup develops 'Gundam'-like robot with $3 mln price tag
Tokyo-based start-up Tsubame Industries has developed a 4.5-metre-tall (14.8-feet), four-wheeled robot that looks like "Mobile Suit Gundam" from the wildly popular Japanese animation series, and it can be yours for $3 million.

This is unfortunately a lot less impressive than it looks, since it's wheeled and not bipedal.
It's Guntank.
"$3 mln" is somehow a lot less explanatory than "$3m"
I thought it was $3/min 🤷🏽♂️
$3 million / minute
I think it's to draw a distinction from the similar "milliard", which means "billion" in British English but has fallen out of fashion.
but has fallen out of fashion
It's a bit of a shame really, since it makes much more sense: How big is a billion?
How long does this last against a c4-strapped drone swarm?
Movements kinda slow to be any real threat, nice try Skynet.
Just an iteration. They'll be there in no time.
Looks more like the loader from Aliens, which (to me) is more interesting than Gundam.
I'd expect a full-scale gundam to cost more than 3 million dollar
Author needs to watch more Gundam
That's just the exo-suit from “Aliens”
Remember the end of Iron Man 1? Because I’m suddenly reminded of it…
it looks like the Kuratas. isn’t this too dangerous to give to just anyone?
Holy shit just 3 million!
