This is the Tsuyama Gundam, a seven meter, two ton monster made of fiberglass and steel. It has a leather-seated cockpit and is powered by an electric hydraulic system.

That’s right. Powered. The damn thing can move. Or it could if the government would let it. Probably afraid it will squish a dog or something.

To quote Keanu Reeves: Whoah!

There used to be a statue of Buddha in that.

Buddha is old news

This is pretty cool.

I think that's five or six years old now, at least.

There's another one in China (I think!) that's a bit bigger.  That one can't move, though the cockpit can open.

Funny enough, both designs are based off of the Zeta Gundam.

I hear Japanese people used to have to flip the crabs on their backs to defeat them.  Life was harsh in the olden times.

Yes, nowadays people just point to the console said conference was about, and just laugh and laugh and laugh.  So much easier.
