Screw you, Principality of Zeon

Between July and August last year, Bandai decided it would be a great idea to build a 59 foot 1:1 scale model of the RX-78-2 Gundam from the classic Japanese sci-fi series Mobile Suit Gundam. I agree. However, the only issue is that it cannot go on any kind of rampage since it can only move it’s head, throw out some steam and shine lights at stuff. Saying this, it is still freaking awesome.

The project was completed for the 30th anniversary of the Gundam franchise and built on Tokyo’s artificial island, Odaiba. Since August it has been dismantled and stored in a secret location, perhaps once again to emerge when the robots take over.
