03 · The buy plan

Hardware is solved.
$340K opens the cage.

Phase 0 · 6 mo
Skunkworks · ~$340K all-in
4× Unitree G1 ($54K) — primary fighter platform, cheap enough to break.

2× G1 spare bodies ($16K) — parts cannibalization.

1× Unitree H1 ($90K) — heavyweight hero / upgrade path.

1× Booster T1 ($35K) — featherweight specialty.

Mods + tooling + shipping + customs: ~$135K
Phase 1 · 18 mo
8–10 fighters fielded · $500K–$1M
Mix of G1 (light class) + H1 (heavy class) + 2 experimental builds. Independent forges (Detroit, Tokyo, Berlin) field their own under sanctioning.

Repair pipeline: 3× rotation depth on actuators, 50% extra at high-failure parts. Mobile workshop trailer for events.
Phase 2+ · Y3+
Proprietary AFC platform · $2–5M
Co-development deal with Chinese OEM (likely Unitree, Fourier, or EngineAI). AFC supplies design + R&D budget, they manufacture.

First proprietary AFC fighter chassis. Class-specific tuning. AFC owns the IP from this point forward.
04 · Factories

Where the metal
actually comes from.

Hangzhou is the gravitational center. Every Phase 0–1 chassis comes from China. Phase 2 onward, AFC opens a Detroit / Brooklyn build line for proprietary mods.

05 · Suppliers

The actuator
supply chain.

When a robot dies in the cage, here's who AFC calls. Servos, batteries, IMU, structural components — sourced separately from the chassis OEM.

The robots are buyable.
The icon isn't.

Whoever produces one cinematic 90-second piece of footage that defines what humanoid combat looks like to the world owns the next decade.
