Land Walker
Encyclopedia
The Land Walker is a one-man, two-legged supposed walker transport, 3.40 metres in height. Made with the assistance of P.A. Technology, the walker is copyright of the Sakakibara Kikai Co. and Ltd.
The vehicle's design features a cockpit, two legs, and two air cannons (each firing large rubber balls which ironically cost more than bullets). The legs end in feet containing wheels that help push the walker forward. The walker's usual speed is approximately 1.5 km/h. It does not actually walk, however, instead shuffling on wheels hidden under its "feet." This means it is not technically a walker; it merely has the appearance of one.
