This robot is real, it's 59 feet tall, and it was just completed in Tokyo last week.
Apparently, his name is Gundam, and he's the star of movies, comic books, and his own TV show in Japan.
I don't think the robo-dude can walk, but he can move his head, which is enough to make me wonder whether this is the coolest thing ever, or the beginning of the end. Of the world.
So, yes, SparkLife is now posting an awesome thing every week. Just like we're posting cute things and soliciting captions, I'll need you to email me with links to awesomeness whenever you find it. (Send to contribute@sparknotes.com.) You can also send awesome stuff you see in that other place, whatsitcalled, (oh yes!) real life, but be sure to take a pic and send that along, too!
Special thanks to pinktentacle.com for letting us post their photos!
So...how awesome is Gundam the Giant Japanese Robot? Rank that robo-monster on a scale of -10 to 10 in the comments!
