PLEASE say that this is being used to film a live-action Gundam that we don't know about!

Baby steps, you perfect example of why the world is worth living in you, baby steps.

"I guaran-damn-tee there's a secret government training facility somewhere on (or in!) Mount Fuji where they are belittling and bullying 14-year-old Japanese boys until one of them becomes emotionally fucked up enough to pilot this thing."

ROFL

Don't worry, JimmyZappa. I'm being fitted for a mask and helmet early next week.

That thing scares the monkey crap outta me!

I'm betting more than one pair of Japanese parents named their kids Amuro and Char. If the Japanese build the first 'Side' I am officially moving to Jupiter!

It's still one of the sweetest frakkin' things I've ever seen.

Gundam, huh? Wake me up when they make a working ED-209.

I love you Japan, please conquer the rest of the world

I don't want to ruin this for anyone, but I believe that it's been known for a while (earlier this week, maybe last week) that it had the possibility/was able to move its head. But that was it; nothing else.

If it can move anything else however then I'm stumped.

that thing being able to move its head is creepy for the arms and legs are proably next and whats to say if the whole thing is able to move the ones who made it do not go and add working weapons to that thing. though its proalby only going to be able to move its head

@ afterglow
I pray japan just uses that thing on north korea.as for taking over the world I'm not into hentai nor do I condone tentacle rape. It has to be consencuale.
And if it does work I will rob banks and kill babies to get enough money to buy one.

I for one welcome our...what, too easy?

I keep telling you guys, this thing is fully functional and we better hope they're pissed enough at N Korea to go after them first... because we're gonna get it.

I want one.

King, who says we don't have our own? Hrm? You know how it works. This one gets stolen/hijacked/or blown up by a vastly superior model from outer space during some kind of Gundam airshow. About two weeks after that, Mobile suites and armors start coming out of the blood wood-work.

Who needs a defense force when you have a Gundam

If Gundam SEED taught me anything, it's that Japanese kids are easily distracted by pink-haired girls with great tits.

So someone start dying Amy Smart's hair and we're fine. It's either that or us Canadians are going to have to develop Hockey Gundam (NO LUMBERJACKS, YOU OUT-OF-DATE JAPANESE MORONS!) and leave the Americans to their own devices.

They have the tech - look at Asimo, it's just a case of engineering bigger parts (it wouldn't need a bigger computer tho). The only technical issue that might be a showstopper with something that size would be the power pack... maybe if it uses broadcast power...

Thank you for the constant updates. It's the most awesome thing ever but it has the potential to make thousands of movies and cartoons come true.

@ Thatcostumegirl

I concur! Thank you for keeping us updated on this. It's really been a blast finding more things in the past couple of weeks.

Back to the subject... You can hear the thing powering up!!! Only a matter of time when it starts shooting laser beams out of its chest!

If its hand starts glowing we're screwed...

I'm hoping for a G Gundam scenario myself, I'll have to start training to represet the US, and working on my cheesy lines.

This is the sweetest thing ever created in the history of ever.

This is undoubtidly Japan's response to North Korea getting all pissy and fussy like the little toddler their Hollywood-movie addicted leader is. I bet he's excited for the next Transformers movie, ya know, the one he won't even let his own people see. We're there handling Japan's defense (my brother is over in Okinawa at this time), but I don't think simple military action will be near as flashy or ostentatious as they'd like, ergo, moving Gundam. All otaku in the nation will sign up to pilot it, no matter how much emotional abuse they'll have to go through.

We are falling behind the Japanese in giant robot production! When will America muster its great resources to build a giant robot of its own? A massive mechanical man is just the unifying project our country needs to pull itself from this economic quagmire. I say that our Congress and our president should focus all their time, attention, and tax dollars on bringing a sentient, steel ro-man to life before the end of this decade and to take said ro-man to the shores of Japan to do battle with their puny head turning contraption. Let freedom ring and giant Japan-smashing robots be built!

I really really really want there to be some ridiculous contest between many countries to see who can build the more badass robot. I mean, they could even work charity into it somehow, build the robot for the children! [not to pilot, but to wash instead, lazy good-for-nothings] xD

Hey, have you seen this news article?
New details about Michael Jackson's Death Emerge
I was wondering if you were going to blog about this...
