Has anyone else noticed that whenever a biblical reference is used as a code-name, the producers start reading *WAY* too much into it halfway through? They did the same thing in Spriggan.
Yup. In other words, it's cheaper (per item) to make a whole crapload of them than to make a few; the fixed costs (whether you make one DVD or a billion) are spread out over a larger number of DVDs.
Yes, that welding bit is a bit of a problem. Fortunately, welding gear is affordable, if not exactly cheap, and just because they don't own any it doesn't mean they've never used any.
By the way, this is by no means the first effort of it's type: take a look at this. Unfortunately, many of their links only exist in the web archive.
However, some work as stated: http://bitter.swee.to/gundam.html This one seems to be one or both of the following: a hoax, and a BattleBot or equivalent. (It's the conspiracy bits in the engrish that make me wonder) MekaToro
Of course, I had to save the best for last. Take a look at RoboSaurus.
The only changes I'd make are: 1. Rip out the flamethrower. It'll look like fire when you've got the muzzleflash from a 20mm Vulcan going full blast. 2. Add a pair of BOFORS 40mm cannon to each arm. From what I'm told, it would perform just fine against hard targets, and they're very well recoil-dampened.
