That is awesome. I always expected those dreary dead looking buildings of Japan held within them a secret Gundam suit. Boyaa shaka!

This machine is very scary. What if a wire short-circuits and it goes on a rampage through the city. Not sure if J-police have training for such a scenario?

It is 1:1 scale, moves on 50 points and shoots lights. I went to see it the other day, it is not open yet (and not moving), it opens July 1st for 2 months

There's a question JT should be asking posters: How many Mobile Suits would it require to take down Godzilla?
That's a damned cool machine! Gotta' get to Tokyo before the end of August.

Honda should use asimo tech to build a giant Gundam like robot,for tourists. It will bring more tourists to japan.

Now if the Japanese could just combine this thing with Asimo and KOBIAN so we can have an 18 meter robot with seven emotions that can kick a soccer ball and carry trays of tea, that would be truly awesome. Weird, but awesome.

On the contrary, it might be the only thing they DO have training for

I wonder who would win in a fight:
Gundam or Optimus Prime.
I think Gundam would kick goody-two-shoes Prime's ass any day of the week.

I think Prime would win by cheesy one-liners ...

Prime looses just by being in Transformers 2. What a piece of garbage that movie is. I almost walked out.

I wish there's a life-size Zaku II to go with this Gundam. I always identified more with the Principality of Zeon than the Earth Federation in the series...

Actually this is a pretty cool pic. But I would like to see Godzilla hanging off the side of Tokyo Tower. :)

I wonder if they go as far as making the cockpit interior.

Put the new Colonel Sanders Mark II statue on its shoulder. No power in the universe could contain that tandem.

I remember seeing a picture of this statue being built years ago. Technically speaking I'm thinking a Transformer would kick a Gundams arse any day of the week, being sentient and all that and able to adapt to conditions where as gundams need a pilot. That aside if they're going to start building the almighty mecha, why not go with Masamune Shiro's more practical and realistic designs.
Anyways, nice otaku statue.

They should put a bunch of them on the opposite coast line so the North Korean spies completely freak

If you like the pic, check out the vid that goes with this on youtube - just check my handle name - the same as it is here - and the title "Giant Gundam Gathers Gawking Geeks"
