    Legs because that’s what a gundam has and literally no other reason. This way the creator can pretend he’s made a robot suit.

    Wheels because mechanical legs that imitate human movement are wildly impractical and fragile. Humanoid robots are basically pointless, a lot of mechanical complexity with no practical benefit.

      Well yes, but it seems a giant robot battlesuit is already pretty impractical, and the one big selling point is that it’s a giant robot battlesuit, and not a puppet on wheels for three million.
