James at Hell in a Handbasket notes that MadOgre notes Japan has built their first BattleMech. As James says:
They say it’s supposed to be used for rescue work. Yeah, sure. Rescue work!
And that “tank” the Brits were working on was to transport water.

That’s gotta be a Warhammer prototype…

Thanks for the link. Let’s be honest here. The whole thing might be a problem with translating from the original Japanese. The translator thought the Japanese said ‘The new robot, with it’s powerful claws, is a miracle for rescue work.’, when in reality they said ‘When you see this robot lurching towards you with those huge claws open, the only thing you’ll be thinking of is a miracle rescue!’ James
