Turkish Mayor Sued over Creation of Giant Robot Statue

[Megacherv]

Looks more like a Zaku from the Gundam series, not Transformers.

It's obviously a Zaku, whoever wrote this deserves a colony drop...Sieg Zeon .-.

That's no Zaku boy

No Zaku!

This man is a hero.

RESPECT THE ROBOT.

I'm laughing my ass off at this whole discussion. The robot is to be respected, of course, but I find it hilarious how everybody in this thread is going 'IT'S NOT TRANSFORMERS! IT'S GUNDAM! YOU IDIOTS!' when everybody actually affected by it are angry about their money being used to build what is essentially a very large action figure.

I respect the robot. However, I remain unphased by the Zaku mobile suit's existence.

Someone call me when there's a life size replica of an Atlas, Mad Dog/Vulture, Dire Wolf/Daishi, or Timber Wolf/Mad Cat battlemech...

Spoiler: Gundams might look cool, but there's just something about Battlemechs that is undeniably badass

Okay for all of the people who called it: It has the body of the MS-05 Zaku (Somewhat different than entire body shape of the MS-06 Zaku II family) but the head is almost definitely off of the XM-07 Vigna Ghina (Vigna Ghina onMAHQ [http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/f91/xm-07.htm]) or the ZM-S80G Zolo (Zolo on MAHQ [http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/v/zm-s08g.htm]) and as any hardcore Gundam fan would know... It's a crime to mix Crossbone Vanguard, or Zanscare Emopire and Zeon mobile suits!!! Especially due to the fact that the head would not match the scale on a Zaku (they started making Mobile Suits faster and smaller in the late universal century.)
