That's Vanga by Iiga-san, one of the Robot Survival Game competition robots. It was also in Mech Warfare at RoboGames 2011.

Iketomu-san did a great writeup on the Robot Survival Game, including the background information for some of the robots, here: http://bipedrobotnewsjapan.blogspot.jp/2010/09/2nd-robot-survival-game-took-place-in.html (http://bipedrobotnewsjapan.blogspot.jp/2010/09/2nd-robot-survival-game-took-place-in.html)
