They've done basic mechs, and even the Americans are getting in on the exoskeleton gig (such as this one by Lockheed, the HULC).

Won't be long...

Because even though Gundam was an Anime, the characters were "technically" of the English speaking lot, aka not Japanese.

Power is still the main thing holding us back, Just need a rockin new lightweight renewable power source and it will be here.

There's quite a significant problem with how to solve the hydraulics or in other words, how to control one properly.

I don't think control is the issue. With advances in robotics, a mobile suit is certainly feasable.

There was also that six legged walker shown on the forums here a while back too. Or was it 4? I can't remember.
