Japan Building Another Life-Sized Giant Robot

Hey it's OK, I was just joking (hence theIndigo_Dingo said:Its a tourist attraction, whats wrong with that?Wadders said:Agreed...lolmynamewastaken said:
Maybe they can make something useful next time they have a spare $1.4 million floating around.
)Its actually quite cool, in a scary kind of a way. It's just a bit...unconventional.
Holy crap, Gigantor... Was I the only one who thought he was shaped like a giant vibrator? Haha, still, this is awesome. Too bad the Gundam will be taken down, it should be a mainstay just like this one. Officially more awesome than any other monument in the world. Japan wins. Best $1.4 Million spent ever!
Would be cool if they built them in the same spot together as a permanent monument. Mobile Suit Gundam, Tetsujin/Gigantor, and crowded around at their feet could be Kaneda from Akira on his big awesome red motorcycle, Vampire Hunter D, Goku from Dragonball and on his shoulder would sit Astro Boy. I think that would cover all of the ground-breaking pioneers of the industry. Unless someone wants to take a wack at building a 1:1 ratio replica of the ship from Star Blazers and have that as the base of the statues or behind them all. XD

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers was created with stock footage of a Japanese Sentai series called Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, a show that bears practically no plot relevance to MMPR. What we call the Megazord is really known as Daizyujin (alternatively spelled Daijuujin) or "Great Beast God" in English.milomalo said:
Either way, I would LOVE to see a statue of this done. I'm unfamiliar with which Sentai shows were more popular than others in Japan so I'm sure they'd choose a different Mecha... probably the first one they ever introduced in Battle Fever J in 1979. It's ugly as sin, but I wouldn't put it pass them considering they're building freakin' Gigantor. @_@

To bad none of them even remotely work, just statues
I don't care if it's programmed to break dance, kill all humans or pick up dog shit, that robot is fucking awesome!!!!
I think a mech or an armored core would be cooler- though Im not entirely sure if armored core isnt Japanese.milomalo said:
No, that would be too complicated for Americans to figure out. And the day a major world government indulges a fan-tard clique of Anime fans, I'll have officially lost all faith in humanity... *looks at the Gundam statue* ...oh wait.Haydyn said:
No, I think if the American government were to invest anything in the field of cybernetics/robotics for full-on giant Mecha combat, they'd build the biggest, shiniest, most sophisticated petroleum-burning piece of shit ever...
ED-209!
Alright, what robot will be built next and where? My money is on Tokyo building Metal Gear Rex (although I personally think RAY looks cooler).
