So, American robotics company Megabot has challenged Japan's Suidobashi Heavy Industries to a duel.
Both companies have produced some of the worlds first piloted combat frames.
Currently they're only armed with paintball guns but, one year from now, the two companies modified robots will do battle in an arena of Suidobashis choosing.
This is going to be frickin awesome. I can't wait.
