USA and Japan's giant robot battle was a slow, brilliant mess
The oft-delayed giant robot fight has finally taken place. On Tuesday, Team USA's mechs scrapped it out with Japan's Kuratas in an abandoned steel mill for the world to watch. There could only be one victor, and it proved to be the red, white, and blue. Yes, the MegaBots team representing America came out on top, but not before three gruelling rounds of robopocalypse.
Giant American robot wants to lay the smackdown on Japanese rival
Two giant robots with blazing guns is what apocalyptic nightmares and Michael Bay films are made of.
