Real Life Mecha

Carlos Owens, an army mechanic in Wasilla, Alaska, has built his own giant robot mecha. He climbs inside and the robot mimics his movements using a system of steel cables and hydraulics.


I don't know about you but when creatures of anime start walking the earth, my first instinct is to build a 50s buzz cut dad style bomb shelter, stock it with Ding Dongs and wait out the inevitable fall of humanity. But, on that other hand, someone is finally prepared to tangle with Robosaurus when he escapes his handlers at the monster truck rally.
