Representing the United States, two epic robots from MegaBots Inc., founded by Matt Oehrlein and Gui Cavalcanti. Representing Japan, pilot Kogoro Kurata from Suidobashi Heavy Industry. The challenge was issued two years ago, on one condition: Japan wanted to fight hand-to-hand combat. Oh. Man. Challenge accepted.
Where was the battle for brutal, violent glory held? Here, in the delightful Japanese countryside:

"Originally designed to pour steel and now, we are going to break it." Yeah, commentator Mike Goldberg, you said it.

First up, meet Iron Glory, or MK2 from USA's MegaBots Inc. Sitting at six tonnes, this guy sports a casual six-foot cannon and 20x missile launcher. The commentators referred to the robot as having a "Western-style" of combat (read: massive paintball gun). Do not mess.

According to the commentators, this guy is more agile and speedy, perfect for taking down giant robots with hand-to-hand combat.

1. Robot knockout.
2. Robot disabled.
3. Pilot surrenders.
Got it?

Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable "Shoot the big guns as quickly as possible," was USA's main strategy, according to Oehrlein. And that they did, although, it didn't quite do the trick.
Kuratas took out Iron Glory in one big punch.
Look at the future, look at it:

Behold, EAGLE PRIME.

MegaBots' Eagle Prime is a bottom heavy tank of a robot, weighing 12 tonnes and sporting a double barreled cannon, 600 pound fist and oh, a four-foot chainsword. Buckle up, folks.

Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable A longer, more gruelling battle, Eagle Prime versus Kuratas brought all the strategy to the yard.
Eagle Prime struck fear into the hearts of mortals by knocking over a few barrels with its chainsword —designed to cut through rock! Yay! There are humans inside these things, remember!
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Kuratas fired back with its sub-machine gun, capable of 2000 paintball rounds per minute, and even deployed a drone, which Prime swatted from the sky.
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable After a big shoving match, a crushed robot hand and a casual reset after the two bots became stuck, Eagle Prime got that chainsword ACTIVATED MUTHAFLIPPAZ. That thing is ON.
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Wait, what's happening here, the hosts are... getting out of the way! This is completely out of control! This is a Tuesday!
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Team Megabots' Eagle Prime won the duel after brutally hacking away with that chainsword. Seriously, these guys really got in there.
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable So, at the end of the day, Team USA and Japan drew 1-1, in the world's first giant robot duel.
"I think it's time to make this a sports league," said a victorious Cavalcanti.
Agreed. We can breathe out now.
