For those that are suitably into their giant bug eradication, there's a nice lowdown on the mecha (called Vital Suits) for Capcom's upcoming Lost Planet. The exciting thing from my point of view is that quite a few of them have rudimentary transformation abilities, which could be quite interesting in a gameplay context (it normally is for most mecha based games that feature it). My favourite, thus far, is still the Hardballer (pictured) mainly because it looks to be quite fast and has a chainsaw (chainsaw + mecha = good design call). Though I am warming to the Cakti.

They've also included a rather cool video of the mecha in game but the servers are a little flaky, so I've uploaded a copy of the video here for your convenience. Lost Planet is released in Japan on 21st December for 8,379 yen.
