Big Mechs Make Some Movie Slightly Interesting

James Cameron is working on a sci-fi movie called Avatar, which I don’t really know too much about. But apparently it’s got cool mechs in it, which is good enough for me. The pic above shows a life size model of a “heavy lifter” mech on display at E3 as a video game tie-in. According to Gizmodo, Avatar is “a 3D film set to take place in the 22nd century. The basic premise is that humans visit a distant moon full of giant blue aliens using genetically engineered “avatars” that they mentally inhabit.” Er, sounds great, kids. Here’s a tip: add more robots.

Avatar should come out in December, but you can see actual mechs in action in less than two weeks at RoboGames. More pics of this (fake) one, after the jump.
