Only thing that has me worried is the USA build is a one off less than a year old. The Japanese one has been around since 2009ish and is refined much more, to they point you can buy them if you happen t have 1.5mil laying around.

Also never use gundam and mech to describe the same machine. Ralgith can explain 0.o Tongue

We've been discussing this fight at work for almost a month now heh.

Anyway... No... it's because Mech is the short form of BattleMech. BattleMechs are fictional futuristic robots piloted in a "traditional" way with levers, buttons, switches, etc...

A Gundam is a giant robot that uses a control system that is an extension of the human body. You move your leg it move's it's leg. You make a fist, it makes a fist.

Then there's the whole Gundam is Anime, BattleMech's are from a miniatures game called BattleTech that went the computer as MechWarror... Also some BattleTech artwork comes from Dougram [aka Robotech] and there were whole legality issues about it thanks to Harmony Gold.

At any rate, I love how the USA machine actually looks like one of the BattleTech/Dougram mecha. It's called an Archer in BattleTech and I forget what in Dougram. Pictured below.

One thing I did leave out though, and only noticed now, while 'Mech and Gundam aren't equivalent, both can however be considered Mecha
