Giant sci-fi robot under construction
"Check before and after fight." It's great when giant combat robots come with practical warnings like that. But why aren't they in Japanese?The project to build a giant Gundam robot is afoot in Tokyo. The 11-meter, 35-ton RX-78-2 robot being erected in Shiokaze Park in the Odaiba area marks the 30th anniversary of the $500 million "Mobile Suit Gundam" science fiction franchise. It's going to send out mist and beams of light once complete July 11. And then go on a rampage across Japan.
Here are some pics from the Mainichi.

They need some sort of proximity sensor, so that when you come close enough, louspeakers start playing 'Tobe! Gundam' on a loop.
Now, all they need to do is build a life-sized version of Char's Zaku II on the opposite side of the park. Equal time for Zeons and all that.
Absolutely. The cool thing is there's a scaled-down version of the Statue of Liberty in Odaiba as well. Now wouldn't that get spicy?
