Kuratas Mech Japanese Armoured Suit Is A One Of A Kind, Costs Whooping $1.3 Million

Suidobashi Heavy Industries have unveiled the 'Kuratas Mech' armored suit at the Wonder festival in Tokyo. We are pretty sure you haven't seen anything quite like this before. Suidobashi has also created a video to share how we can use the Kuratas. A 4 meter tall body weighing 4.5 tonnes designed by artist Kogoro Kurata and robotics expert Wataru Yoshizaki drives on a diesel engine at 6.2mph. It is truly a harbinger of death and only the crazy folks in Japanese could've come with such a design. It fires 6,000 ball bearings in a minute. It accommodates a human pilot inside it and controls it from a touchscreen inside the cockpit.

Users can also control it with an iPhone app and kit it out with fire-fighting equipment. Kuratas interestingly comes with an ability to make phone calls directly from the cockpit too. The pricing is a whooping $1.3 million, but could it get any cooler than this? See both the videos for yourself -
