It looks like 21st Century Gundam Mech Warfare is just around the corner folks, thanks to the fine folks at Mechanized Propulsion Systems.
Mechanized Propulsion Systems is dedicated to designing, creating, and piloting the first bipedal humanoid anime style mecha in the next 25 years. The MPS Team is a group of individuals who have volunteered their time and resources for the realization of this goal.
We are a group based in Rosamond, California, near the Mojave Spaceport. We have decided to bring to life our dreams of real, working mecha, as seen in Japanese animated works. We propose to complete this task by following a development initiative plan, and using existing and proven technology to develop and meet key items in our agenda.
By using existing technology and developing new mecha technologies based on our functional concepts, our current plans envision a fully completed and operational prototype mecha within a few short years! MPS has been developing pilot control interfaces, creating proof of concept prototypes, and assembling parts since February of 2000. Slowly but surely, one piece at a time, our dream is coming together.
MPS foresees a future where mecha have been adapted to uses in the commercial, industrial, and military defense arena. With a highly modular and adaptable approach to both design and implementation, we have ensured that mecha-tech will make the grade for any situation or use.

Fascinating Stuff. But how can we USE the mech?
I know I’d be quaking in my turban if I ever saw one of these bad boys!
Really, Predator drones just don’t kill enough people when they do recon.
Hell yeah boy, just imagine that mech tearin’ through post-katrina streets, saving people, enforcing justice.
Nothing is more intimidating than mecha. NOTHING.

I dream of a military like the ones in my animes.

Practicality? What’s that, some kinda cheese?
