Usually, this would just be the stuff of Sci-Fi movies and a select few games, but this here mech is the real deal.
Vitaly Bulgarov is a concept artist who has worked with the likes of Blizzard to produce things like StarCraft and now he’s helping to create a real, functional mech with Korea Future Technology.
The project is called METHOD-1 and it’s a serious attempt to get one of these machines out of the movies and into real life. But it isn’t being built with a particular function in mind; but instead to see what scenarios it COULD work in, along with which parts would work better.
Here’s a couple of videos of the mech in action, moving around and most importantly, walking.

I’ll have to say, they also did a great job making the mech look freaking cool too. Its unlikely we’ll be seeing the mech in action anywhere in the real world just yet, but its awesome that something like that really is being built.
