Supply and demand, my friend. Now you may be asking "Spyda, you idiot don't you know there IS no demand for mechs and that's the very reason why they don't exist?" There is no demand for mechs? That's the reason they don't exist? Implying that we have the technology to build one, which we probably do. Heck, we could already see star destroyers floating around in orbit with today's technology but the only reason we don't is the same reason we don't see mechs. There's simply no demand for such a thing.
But is it true that there's really no demand? Or is there? Ever watch TV as, or with a kid only to see [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iShcHoV1Hw]this[/url] happen? What? There was no demand for Hasbro's Best Thing Ever while it was still in concept but once someone brought it out of conception and into reality all of the sudden people want one. It's like how there was no demand for the Iphone before Steve Jobs invented it. Maybe this is the key to the rise of mechs? If someone got out there, started planning how they could build one; designed, built, and tested the worlds first prototype then my friends we're looking at the world's next billionaire.
A few years later we won't even be conceiving the awesomeness of mechs existing. It will be about how to design a better one to beat competition and they only get bigger and better from there. Am I wrong?

Why would you want a giant robot that costs millions that can be taken down by standard issue tanks and missiles? If your answer is "because it's cool" that does not carry far in any argument for their existence. But if you really want one, [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iZ0WuNvHr8]order one[/url].
