August 8th, 1945. Mitsubishi Steel and Arms Works.

Construction completed on the prototype “Mobile Armor Suit”, codenamed “Cub”, intended to be the Imperial Army’s ultimate weapon for defeating any invasion of the home islands.

But it would never leave its hangar bay.

The next day it was destroyed with the rest of Nagasaki by the second atomic bomb.

B-29 pilot’s report:

“The bomb burst with a blinding flash and a huge column of black smoke swirled up toward us. Out of this column of smoke there boiled a great swirling mushroom of gray smoke, luminous with red, flashing flame, that reached to 40,000 feet in less than 8 minutes. Below through the clouds we could see the pall of black smoke ringed with fire that covered what had been the industrial area of Nagasaki.”

ps - Very neat idea with the actively cooled lighting.
