You have probably seen real-life versions of classic toys. (My dream car is STILL a street-legal version of the Little Tykes Cozy Coupe . . . the red car with the yellow roof.)
A company in Japan has created a 15-foot, four-wheeled robot that looks like “Mobile Suit Gundam”, which is similar to what you’d recognize as a character from Hasbro’s “Transformers”.
And they’re hoping to be able to sell them . . . for $3 MILLION.
It’s a giant robot, and you can climb in and pilot it around. There are 26 different joints you can control from the cockpit, and it can also just “drive” down a street.
(Reuters) (Reuters has a video of this thing.)
(To be clear, “Transformers” and “Gundam” are two different things. “Transformers” were living robots from another world. “Mobile Suits” are weapons USED by characters. This is the latter.)
