Humanity waits on bated breath as the all-out brawl of metal fists between two hulking colossi approaches.
We spend a day straining our necks and filling our anime-loving hearts to bursting staring up at the brand-new, full-size Unicorn Gundam statue.
As the robot duel grows closer, Megabots Inc has been giving fans video updates on their progress upgrading their robot.

Fans have been shooting photos and videos of the 19.7-meter (64.6-foot) Unicorn Gundam, and it looks incredible.

Low-tech idea yields high-tech-looking results.
Patlabor’s Ingram is out on patrol.
