Back in 2015, American startup MegaBots Inc challenged Japanese company Suidobashi to a Giant Robot Duel--a knock-down dragout, totally-not-staged fight between the US and Japanese robot teams.

MegaBot Inc. has created the Eagle Prime, a MK3-class robot that is built to fight. Equipped with two pilots, the Eagle Prime will be going head to head against Team Japan in the Giant Robot Duel.

In August the company officially introduced the Eagle Prime robot. It weighs in at 12 tons (24,000 pounds), is 16 feet tall and can seat two pilots.
