VIDEO: ROUND 3 AND USA'S MEGABOTS BEAT JAPAN'S IN A ROBOT-SMACKDOWN!








MegaBot's Eagle Prime vs. Suidobashi's Kuratas took place on 17 October 2017. It was the USA vs Japan in the world's first international giant robot fight.

The giant robots fought face to mechanical face in a Japan-based abandoned steel mill – the fight got so heated in the third round that the bots knocked down lights, causing onsite commentators – one of which was Mike Goldberg of UFC fame – to frantically rush out of the way. 

MegaBots co-founder Gui Cavalcanti and Matt Oehrlein operated their intimidating robot from the inside, working together as pilot and gunner. Team USA used two different robots; one called Iron Glory for the first round and Eagle Prime for the second round. 

All robots came equipped with their own arsenal of weapons, Iron Glory fought using paintball cannons and Eagle Prime fought using cannons. Japan's robot took on the fight with a half-ton fist, giving it a powerful punch. 

In the first round, Iron Glory was knocked out right away by Kurata's impressive iron-punch. In the second round the other MegaBots robot, Eagle Prime, went up against Krutas who was trying to distract Eagle Prime with a pesky drone, which ended up being swatted away like a fly!

In the third round, Eagle Prime destroyed Kuratas using it's massive chainsaw to cut open the robot. In the end, USA's MegaBots won the overall match!
