That is amazing.

Cool! Is he more like a Gundam or a Transformer? If it's the later, does he transform into something creepy that can't be trusted?

@darkmagician

He transforms into a Ice-Cream truck.

Is it just me, or is the robot look like a Jackson-faced Gundam? And considering how much of a phenom he is in Japan, I'm starting to wonder if the life-size Gundam we've seen on this site will eventually be retrofitted. Sure, you won't see this in Vegas...but in Tokyo...which once had a Hitler Building before the Neptune Men destroyed it...

@ Onedustybaby:

Well, then obviously it can't be trusted. I seen that demon/angel preview where the ice cream driver turns into a demon.

Bad. Very bad!

Aside from the glove, it doesn't look that much like Jackson. Aside from being inhuman and all, I mean. Couldn't you just built it so it could switch faces whenever the depicted celebrity's popularity began to decline? Jackson until the funeral DVD peters out, then Rachel Dratch until 2012.

being that I live here in Vegas, I can tell that was planned for the boondocks and if the artist was smart would have positioned it south of mandalay bay closer to the strip.

secondly, there's 0 chance in hell that would fly. who's gonna take their kids to a MJ casino hotel on vacation?

I'll take the Robo-lincoln, but let's pair it with Liberty Prime instead.

Look at the v-fin and the red soles of the feet, at well as the skirt and chest design. They're all extremely reminiscent of Gundam design.

Obviously, someone needs to Gundamjack (google it) the one in Japan and refit it with MJ's face. We'll have our MJ robot and they'll be down one superweapon.

@ Matt K
I thought the same thing! Its like the designer just took a gundam design and put Michael Jackson's Face on it.
I still say we build a few of them that don't have MJ's face and NOT HAVE EMO 15 YEAR OLD KIDS PILOT IT.

GreyFox, why do you think Michael wanted his own Gundam...

/poor taste

Looks like the Zephyranthes Gundam to me.

About the only thing that would make this more awesome would be if it had flamethrowers in it's mouth that fired off each time after it bellowed "REMEMBER ME!!!"

OH NOW I see...this was Michael's original plan to fake his death, transplant his brain into the mighty robot, and thus obtain eternal life, or very damn near it....the ultimate remodeling of his body.

He probably dropped that plan when he realized he would eventually go insane and try to destroy the world, children included. Then Michael very cleverly realized that the Japanese Gundams and Robo-Beetles and an army of Tachikomas along with US's EATRs would have their way with him, so Michael changed his plans...

He went with plan B instead, probably implanted his neuro-patterns into some poor little boy now.

Boo, I tweeted you that link. No cred.

Can you just picture it, wandering in the desert lost now?

So that was MJ's plan... take over the world after winning the Gundam Fight. Diabolical!

Robot design is plagiarized from an old Japanese model kit - "RXF-91 Silhouette Gundam Kai".

When you look at the original design art he's ripping off, it's really obvious. The "spotlights" on the feet, the dark stripe on the ankle, the red triangle on the inner leg, even every little vent and opening on the hips and forearms.

No... the GP01 is a Shoji Kawamori design. The poster is definitely from a Kunio Okawara design - I'd say the artist modified a design from F90 or F91, or possibly G-Gundam. But if you look at some of the F90 and F91 designs, you'll see the same style and elements, especially in the waist and hand.

If that robo-Jacko is only 50foot than the hotel it self is very small in comparison to other casinos.

Either that or the artist not only pasted and re-coloured a Gundam robot but messed up on the scale.

Haha! Now we just need a huge mc hammer with tower sized mc hammer pants.

@ King Psyz
Who would take their kids to a casino hotel in the first place?

thats a gotdamn gundam. I know one when i see it. We need to stop screwing around and make Gundam Maxter. All Japan needs now is their own Amuro Rey. Whos gonna be our savior? They should have built the one from Moonwalker. At least that could shapshift/transform.

Holy crap Michael Jackson was an douce however a 50 ft robo-Jackson to molest every school boy in Japan, the man could dream. Astro Boy would surely have needed some extra steel plating on his briefs.

That said, we have tons of living breathing Jacksons to think about. A giant Jackson Voltron made from Tito, Jermaine, Janet, La Toya and Marlon robots. I can see it now fighting a four headed Baldwin brother Hyrda.

THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A CONCEPT DESIGN BEAUTIFULLY DONE AND WELL EXECUTED I MIGHT ADD IN THE LIKENESS OF WHAT THE LATE GREAT KING OF POP' ;MICHAEL JACKSON WOULD HAVE WANTED HIS IMAGE AS A MONUMENTAL TO HIS LIFE,BE PORTRAYED AS. HE ALWAYS LOVED ROBOTS AND AS LUCKMAN SAID IN THE DAILY NEWS AT THE TIME-"Michael looked at the sketches and likes them,"-DAILY NEWS. THIS IS A ANOTHER STEP TOWARDS A NEW AND FUN FUTURISTIC ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN THAT I WOULD LOVE TO BE A PART OF AS WELL AS AN ADDITION TO THE MAGIC THAT IS LAS VEGAS. THERE ARE PARTS INFLUENCED BY THE GUNDAM ROBOT BUT IT LOOKS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THE ORIGINAL DESIGN -AND FEELS MORE LIKE A COMPLIMENT THAN PLAGIARISM. *ITS A CONCEPT DESIGN OF A HOTEL AND NOT A CARTOON. *THERE ARE ALOT OF DESIGNS THAT ARE SIMILAR IN APPEARANCE TO OTHER DESIGNS. FOR EXAMPLES MOST CARS LOOK THE SAME - THIS IS AN AMAZING DESIGN CONCEPT AND I'M SURE I SPEAK FOR ALL MICHAEL JACKSON FANS WHEN I SAY I AND MJ HIMSELF LOOKING DOWN ON US ;WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT EXECUTED. MJ FOREVER- GOOD JOB MR. PATTERSON.

ya - you could also make a 20ft little boy robot crying little robot tears as his nuts and bolts are adjusted by the King of Molesters. cool.

I say we replace the World Trade Center with a BIGGER version of this, and then have a Corey Feldman robot as part of the second tower. Ooooooh YEeeeah!

HAHAHA, "most cars look the same"?? What, because they have four wheels and four doors?? You obviously don't know much about art or design, "SMART GUY". If you took a closer look, you could tell that the robot in this illustration is LITERALLY TRACED from the old "Gundam" art. The shapes and proportions, the contours of the drawing are exactly the same - it's the same drawing, just with shiny computer effects, placed on the background of the hotel illustration. Look at the work Michael has had done for him in the past. Look at all his immortal costume designs, or the statue of him on the cover of "HIStory". This amateurish piece of hackwork is not up to the standards of the work he had published in his name during his lifetime - and if he hadn't died, I doubt this art would ever have seen the light of day.

Why stop at Micheal Jackson or Abe Lincoln mechs? What about a Mount Rushmore mechs? Literary character mechs? Superhero mechs? We can do it America!

I was a big fan of Michael Jackson and it is a real tragedy that he has died every time i hear one of his songs i get emotional and i think of all the great things he has for the world

michael loves his kids and i bet he wantted this hotel and robot this is a 100% persent chance that he will love this if he was alive and he got it

first off: MJ is the best, didn't molest anyone, etc.

second: ... why doesn't it look like the Mech he turned into at the end of Moonwalker? just saying.

Micheal jackson has the best moon and robotwalk eva
