MOBILE SUIT GUNDAMLife-Size RX-78-2 ReplicaMOVES ON ITS OWN!!!

Okay, we’re not saying a giant robot apocalypse is upon us, but we might be suggesting it’s close … because they got one in Japan that is already taking its first steps.

Check out this 60-foot replica of an RX-78-2 Gundam robot — from the OG anime series — that they built near Tokyo … and which now moves about on its own! The Gundam is the signature piece of a factory there of the same name — and they just lived up to the hype.

The whole idea of the life-size model was to make it realistic, and one engineering feat at a time … they’re slowly (but surely) achieving that. In this clip — which is sped up at 2 and 4 times than normal — you see the Gundam walk, kneel, lift its arm and move its fingers.

It can even open its eyes and turn its head!!! Honestly, it’s an amazing achievement.
