The world of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld, or maybe Pixar’s Wall-e, comes a step closer with the demonstration of suitcases with a mind of their own.
A battle two years in the making finally comes to an end, but is only the beginning of giant robot fights.
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.
From nearly 20 meters above the ground, the Unicorn Gundam looks out over Tokyo.
We wish there was space for us inside too.
Fans have been shooting photos and videos of the 19.7-meter (64.6-foot) Unicorn Gundam, and it looks incredible.
If we can put a man on the moon, why can’t we have robots deliver our sushi? Oh, wait, apparently we can do that too.
With each battle lasting less than five seconds, these merciless machines are perhaps the future of sumo.
Labor of love makes the latest Gundam mecha look like something from anime’s heady hand-drawn peak.
Low-tech idea yields high-tech-looking results.
