Japanese Man Builds Giant Beetle Mecha
Saturday 16 May 2009 @ 11:50 pm | By Ivan 'Nahu' Lozano 7 CommentsUnbelievable how this one went past me for so many weeks. After all we’ve covered a ton of giant mecha.
So a man in the US gets bored, maybe he builds a model train station, maybe he just drinks a beer and watches a game. A man gets bored in Ibaraki, Japan, and he goes and builds a fully functional giant beetle robot over the course of 11 years. Now that’s commitment!
The robot is fully capable of walking, albeit at a sluggish speed, and has not one but 2 cockpits as well as wing doors and a hatch opening at the top. This model, named the Kabutom MX-03, is actually the 3rd version of the robot as we can see in the video. Give this man another healthy decade and the arrival of our new robot overlords will be all but a moment away.

Perhaps is easier to make something with multiple feet instead of a bipedal thinger!
