RX-78

Woah O_O it's getting Upgrades!!! Next Week it'll walk!!!
Need 2 month to start defending from Other Countries :D

You can't get anything cooler than this. The closest thing we have is a steam powered clock ^^

Beam saber next please xD

plz tell me I'm not the only one who hears all those sounds and expects it to move!
'cause... shit man, I thought the arms were gonna start moving, or the fingers on them!!!

....
still continues to be beyond amazingly epic!

It's alive! It's alive!

Are they going to bother making any weapons or whatnot for it? So crazy seeing the steam and hearing the sounds!

That is great. Now have it kneel down and the drivers hatch open up in the chest and deliver unto me 'Cagalli' and 'Lacus' so my job is done on this planet. :D

That is so awesome, I'd love to go to Japan and check that out when it's complete, but I doubt I'll be able to get there before it's taken down T_T

WOW! It just got even cooler!

I bet there's some cynic out there who'll watch the video and say "That's fake! Terrible CGI" ...

I'm not sure if it's just me... but the Gundam looks.. sad with those eyes :( The eye glow effect is a little wierd I guess.

Now it just needs to have lasers and be packed to the brim with missiles and its use as a weapon will be complete!

Saw this at Ngee Khiong's last night...

Some one quickly don their Char costume and hijack this behemoth, paint it red! XD

the best thing i've ever seen has just got better, and hope theres much much more to come ^^;;

will they make conversion kits like the models i wonder? >_<

did they build the cockpit? would be cool if it open and someone came out of it!

Now if only it had working weapons and could fly....

Hah, so cool.

WOW It's so cool!!!,Im sure that in a few days the arms will gonna start moving,Im really,really impressed ;)This is the best thing I've ever seen

Niceeeee, i have to go there on more time, i miss that yesterday. About that i just picture of the Gundam taken yesterday http://vincentfollezou.com/wordpress/2009/06/14/gundam-odaiba/

This Gundam just keeps getting better, when will it stop?

Very impressive, the steam adds a lot, like a rocket preparing to launch.

Now I wonder...maybe they are taking it down in august so they can implement operational arms and legs?! and then a cockpit?! UC HERE WE COME!

I got the shivers looking at this.

Gotta love the sound effects, they made it look so realistic with the head moving around

So awesome~ It's too bad they're only planning to have it up for such a short time. =(

would b great if thy left it up for a long period and get some natural weathering happening on it

Man, its just too cool!
xD

I can't exactly put into words how epic this is. It looks like it'll take off any minute! I'm in awe.

sugoi~

Next up is moving arms XD

When did they turn it on? I was there yesterday and it wasn't moving. I hear they're going to unveil it next month completed, I don't remember which day though.

Wait til lightning strikes it and it flies away. xD It's a good thing I don't see a rifle on that @_@

O
M
G

put up the petition to let it stay there, and we can hope for more awesomesauce in the future!

epic... truly epic *cries tears of joy*

now if only i could be there to see it up close!~ *sighs*

there's something excessively cool about this....

now I really wanna buy Gunpla RX-78 so badly XD

next up is moving arms,then legs,then its gonna fly,then some alien shit is gonna try conquer the world then this Gundam is all we have against it.

Did they say what it can do when its 100% complete ? Cant wait to see more stuff it can do ~~~

i hope the chest can be turn too.. and the hand can move.. wow.. sounds like right.. XD

The sound effects made it sound as if it was going to take off. Build another couple of these and they could take over the world! >_<

wcloudx totaly rip me off >.< .

I commented this on the "Gundam Lit Up " Post like 2 days ago : http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/20239/Gundam+Lit+Up.html#comment643535

Wish i could post -_-

now to get a real one going; and working on dem beam sabers =D!

amazing..... adore it :((

Crazy stuff, I would love to go see this personally, perhaps the petition to keep it up should include building a shelter for it because I don't believe with all the moving parts and electronics can survive the harsh outdoor environment, especially the winter.

Went there yesterday and I didn't see it moved. ^^;;

Any transforming sounds?

Soon we will all have are very on mechs. Until then I will continue to develop innovative code that will set the next leap for artificial intelligence! Oh skynet will be so proud!

this wanna make me live in Japan even more...

They build something this awesome and they want to take it down in a few months?!...RUN RX-78, RUN!!!

they should build a wing zero custom too, now that would be cool *excited*

wow!! this is advanced technology! Japan FTW~

anyway they should maybe build a wing zero custom in future. that would be NEAT!

anyway first post =D

DAMM!

That's just TOO awesome!

Still wondering what kind of IKEA shelf it takes to put that figure on. o.o;;

Even if i never saw a single bit of Gundam nor know what it is about, that thing is pretty much amazing... thumbs up. :)

simply awesome!

I can see otaku's the world over rallying to stop them from taking this down haha

Next job will be to build an army of combat ready Gundams and take over the world.

A very important question: where it will be moved after the summer? Does anybody know?
I've read somewhere Gundam will stay in Odaiba till the end of August only...

Cool I was waiting for it to take off or pull out its beam saber or something :P

The viewers are increasing day by day. But there can only be one Amuro Ray! (Runs towards Gundam)

Awesome. Just awesome.

IT'S ALIVE!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! XD

Damn, I wish I can be there to witness it myself. Unfortunately... T_T

So cool!! ^^

Saw the video for the first time yesterday and showed a friend of mine, we are both going to Japan next year for our year abroad and really hope this will still be standing somewhere!

Do they have a sign up sheet to learn how to pilot that? I mean, eventually someones going to make it moveable on its own power. Then its only a matter of time till they stick a functional cockpit in it.

Another thing, when they take it down, are they takeing it apart in chunks or leaveing it assembled and using flatbed transport's?

wish it could do more than just that...

awesomeness!!! i want it walk!!! and FLYYYY!!!!

i want that nao!!

It's pretty incredible how it feels like it'll just start walking any second right there even though you know it's just a statue. Then again, it might actually be a working suit that they have prepared just in case of missile attacks. The americans DID just finish a super laser so a beam saber isn't out of the question. Please let sunrise pull a big surprise on us by making it move on the actual opening day.

.....I thought it will move its arms or something. D:

Now if it can leave its box that it is confined in ^_^

WoW! very cooooll!! make me remember the atraction of Star Wars in the Tokyo Disney Land, where u can enter in a space ship and make a galactic travel to Endor!

This is just amazing! Why on earth would they want to take it down!

Cool! But I was hope for more than just the head moves~~~~

Too bad the eyes don't light up green from behind green colored filters infront of it. As is the bright white light from it's eyes look ugly cause of the reflection ontop.

Awesome!

That is just so awesome...i can imagine it walk through the streets now...with the sfx roaring away...

Please tell me it walks XD

where's the pilot?

WOOHOO~ IT'S GOING TO FLY!! XD

Wish streaming wasn't blocked on military computers. Sounds awesome though.

Hope they keep the RX-78-2, even if they have to move it somewhere. Maybe a life sized Gundam theme park is in order.

the thrusters needs to fire up! that would make it looks so much more realistic. ^^

That is just so awesome. I can't wait to see how much they make it move by opening day.

I'll be a few years before I can make a trip to Japan, but hopefully they'll either have more, or something even better then.

So when can I buy the kit for these? lol Just kidding, this is one of the most awesome things to ever happen though!

So it moves now eh?

I, for one, welcome our new Japanese overlords.....

sooooo cooooool :D

I wish I'd had the chance to see this, but we couldn't find it when we visited :(

No way!

EPICNESS!! (^_^)

Awesome! Though I'm a little more worried now. What if it's undergoing maintenance when I'm there? If it was just a giant statue, I wouldn't be so worried.

This reminds me of the giant Michael Jackson robot in Las Vegas that they said they would totally make.

Although I'd say this is MUCH better :D

That was cool ~ かっこいいよ

Awesome! Is it totally done, or are they going to add in arm movements or something too?

a real beam gun is next !! i bet they building other models somewhere in the outerspace.

Next step one that walks

we are one step closer to a real MS, comrades

I new that it was real. (^_^) lol Once it start walking I am on Japan's side. lol

wow this gundam is the best think i see in my life... o.o
really awesome, i wil go to japan only for see it.

Dude, that is AWESOME. I seriously thought it was going to start moving it's arms there for a second o__o

I hope the petition to keep it up will succeed!

I bet it it getting prepped to deflect missiles from North Korea then take out Kim Jong Il.

That is so awesome. very inspiring too.
The smoke! omg, the Gundam is burning ;_;

Looks great, I thought it was going to walk away for the moment it moved lol

thats awesome!!...now it needs a red zaku to fight against

Yay, next step it to make it walk. ^^

This would be a good time to unveil the beam sword.

Ya know.. it was cool just as a statue.. now that just its head moves and it has some smoke machines going.. especially with the sound effects.. it's getting Hookey..

Maybe its me not being a super Gundam otaku.. but, just as a statue.. Really was quite a bit more neat.. then moving with crappy sound effects.

Hmm... still can't see what the feet look like. I want to see how it's mounted to the base.

Jesus that thing just keeps getting more awesome, the head turns XD. The reaction from the crowd made me lol.

wow this is pretty cool ^__^

it brings a tear to the eye with its beauty

I like ths sounds and the take off effect!!

omg lol just watch it move xD. they got a nuclear reactor in its chest :p

I am soooo happy... ^____^ I'm still going to hold out hope that it's going to pluck a laser from somewhere and fire straight into the air... <.< It could happen!

not looks like in the anime version actually the real one is better !

Awww man! I really wish that I can go to Japan and see it up close. It should stay up for more time, like a year maybe.

looks awesome

I wish I was Bill Gates so I can have this figure @ my backyard.

DANG!!>__< we're even closer to the real thing...it needs armaments now!!

totally awesome!! Wish they had done this earlier when we visited Japan last year! Hopefully the petition Danny n frenz are looking at putting together will convince not to take this down.. EVER! ^^

It would be soo epic if at the very end they blow it up. Dangerous maybe, but awesome.

WALK WALK WALK!!! XD

the sound effects were a little bit overdone
i was expecting the arms to move
i even thought the body moved, the sound effects were very convincing haha

please make it move >.<

it moves?!

"hhmm....upgrades..." ^.^

Now we need to see it move more than the head ^.^

sweet that is cool would be better at night though when giving off the steam.

whats left is someone to hijack it. heh.

Man this thing just gets cooler and cooler XD thats so awesome.

Now all they need to do is get that beam saber functional.

Undeniably cool. I mean it really is. :) You know one day they're going to have a walking one as well, it's gonna happen.

not a single enemy on sight and its already in smoke maybe the pilot cant handle it, step away mr. and ill take over

The one at the Bandai museum only moved its head as well

Damn, I think I need new pants

Simply amazing, will be forever or just for a period of
time? I hope to see it someday, when I go back to Tokyo...

what a beauty *tears*

Looking good so far- I wonder what other items will be move-able.

I AM GOING TO SEE THAT IRL. @.@

I want one, that or a Harrier Jumpjet...

So beautiful... O_O wheres amuro?

is vey amazing!!!!!!!!!!

So... not a Mazda.
No RX-7 with an RX-8 motor or something strange? Damn.

Oh man, IT'S ALIVE!!!!

Defiantly needs a cockpit than you can clime into.

Impressive it semms like the statue of liberty to them ^_^

No it's better!!

the odaiba gundam stands firm-ready to defend japan from anything korea(north) may launch its way.

are u sure they arent building a read gundam to take over the world?

I have got to have one of those.

At the end, today, I've been in Odaiba, among the thousands of people come here to see
Gundam! ...in this moment I lack the words to describe what I've been part of.
I arrived in Japan this week, and wednesday I couldn't resist to go to Daiba in spite of the rain. I find the works still in progress around the Gundam, and I imagined to be in Side 7 during the first trials of the latest Earth Federation's secret weapon!!!

Hey are those available in the market? I want one....
