Larger Than Life Gundam Robot Is Now Complete
June 16th, 2009
Wow. This is pretty scary. Cool, but scary. We told you about efforts by Bandai in Japan to build a life-sized Gundam robot last month, but now it seems the project is finally complete.
Our initial view were two ginormous legs, but now the Gundam RX-78-2 robot is completed and standing tall in all its glory. Just in time, too, now that the Transformers 2 movie is about to hit the big screen. The robot stands 60-feet tall and will be toted around Japan and shown off following a two-month stint in Tokyo. Get a good look folks, this guy will be your overlord in a few years.
