 Personal AT-AT... 
http://www.sakakibara-kikai.co.jp/products/other/LW.htm
In "action"

I have no doubt that this would be a load of fun!!!
Not necessarily practical though....

Sounds pretty noisy in the video, and it moves pretty slow. Even if I had the spare change I wouldn't drop $300,000 for it.

Looks more ED-209 to me...the somewhat functional weaponry is a nice touch. Does seem noisy & probably a jarring ride.

This thing again.
It always comes up in conversations I have, it always gets brought up on ToyboxDX every couple of months, and it always evokes the same reaction in me.
As much as I love efforts in this direction, and as much as I love robots, and as much as I love the Japanese, and everything else like this, for some reason, I hate this.
It almost drives me to... FLASHPOINT!!! ;p

When they produce something that has:
- Jet-assisted capabilities to get infantry "on the bounce."
- A y-rack mounted on the back that fires low-yield nukes.
- A device that says, "I'm a 30 second bomb!"
Then I will watch the YouTube video.

Sorry, I'm not a huge star wars fan and it's been years since I saw Robocop, so AT-AT was the first thing that popped into my head.
