Tetsujin 28-go (Ironman No. 28)

A ¥135 million project is under way in Kobe to create a life-size model of Tetsujin 28-go (Ironman No. 28), a popular robot "manga" character from the 1950s, as a symbol of the city's recovery from the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake.
The 18-meter, 50-ton statute will be erected in September in Wakamatsu Koen Park in Nagata Ward, one of the areas hit hardest by the quake that killed more than 6,000 local residents.

I prefer Gundam, but they're both pretty amazing  XD

2nd one. I find robots with heft more appealing. Nothing like the retro cold war era feel.

The Gundam one is pretty damn impressive, and it brings us one step closer to having one that's fully functional.  I'd totally join any military that had one of those.

Tetsujin looks a lot cooler than the Gundam.

Tetsujin because Gundams look too much like Transformers.

For anyone that didn't know yet. The Gundam 1/1 which was at Odaiba will be shown in Shizuoka starting this July.
You can see it in the re-assembling stage here at:
gundam.info (http://www.gundam.info/topic/4148?utm_source=web&utm_medium=blog&utm_term=%E3%82%AC%E3%83%B3%E3%83%80%E3%83%A0)

Eva also have a 1/1 bust that'll be at Fuji-Q Highland end of July too:

oh, and I voted Gundam :cow:

Voted for Gundam, IIRC they want the 1/1 Gundam to be as iconic as Mt.Fuji itself. I just can't remember where i have read it.

I think Tetsujin looks a lot cooler :nervous , but aww they moved the Gundam? I was looking forward to seeing it in person... oh well! xD;

I Hope they do more upgrades to it =D

i think that it was unfair to show a the real gundam an the concept for tetsujin. the final creation imo of the gundam is way better. does anyone have images of the creation of the gundam sculpture?
Title: Re: Giant Robots Taking Over Japan

gundam got my vote
it is really impressive, looks better

Man 1:  First phase is complete. No one suspects a thing.
Man 2:  Initiate phase two. We need to prepare for the invasion... of cup noodles~~ :panic:

Do you know about the life-size bust of Gundam Seed Destiny's Strike Freedom Gundam at the Gundam Front Tokyo mini-park? It turns out that it's not just a bust.
