So Wired brought a 400 pound, 9.5-foot-tall robot mech to Comic-Con. Born out of a collaboration between Stan Winston School and Legacy Effects (the same people behind the armor in Pacific Rim and Iron Man) it’s… impressive, to say the least – something this reaction from Mythbuster’s Adam Savage makes abundantly clear.
Via Wired:
We went to the Stan Winston School and Legacy Effects… and we asked for something special. They came up with an aluminum and urethane behemoth, and invented an innovative control mechanism to let the robot arms replicate even the smallest movements of the pilot’s. Except, you know, with a 12-foot wingspan. (A more in-depth look at the Mech’s construction will be part of YouTube’s Geek Week, August 4th to 10th.)
