SDCC News: Giant Robot Storms San Diego Comic Con 2013!

On the heals of the highly successful Pacific Rim, the robots have now invaded Comic-Con courtesy of Wired– Geek Week!

Created by the Stan Winston School and Pacific Rim/Iron Man armor creators, Legacy Effects, comes this amazing 9’5 tall and 400 pound robot mech. No need to worry about avoiding an “apocalypse” as this robot is on our side!

“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.”
