Weird. I didn't know Gundams had wheels.
Fucking trash article. Every single outlet reporting on this is calling it a Gundam. Clearly we wouldn't know what a 15 foot tall robot is without someone comparing it to a 100ft bipedal machine with massive guns and lightsabers that looks totally different than what they're describing.
There are plenty of instances in anime where mechs (I guess not specifically Gundam) have wheels or skates/wheels, like Code Geass. I think its mostly so they don't have to animate walking on the ground or draw different leg movements/positions.
Edit: added stuff about drawing.
gundum suits arent real dude its fiction
thats just a lot of car parts assembled incorrectly
and a CEO
and maybe 1 or 2 enginees maybe
/ssssssss
yea when i saw the wheels i knew
this is a attempt at geting funding
that will not be spent on much more than the board members
