For Sale: Giant Fire Breathing Dinosaur Robot

Robosaurus

You might remember Robosaurus, created 17 years ago by Monster Robots in Southern California. The 40-foot-high, 31-ton behemoth quickly became famous for crushing cars and breathing fire all over the country, before dwelling in the land of obscurity. Apparently, it’s current owner or owners are finally sick of burning and crushing all manner of large things. Robosaurus will be auctioned off during the annual Barrett-Jackson car auction in Scottsdale, Arizona between January 12 to 20.

Interestingly, the metal beast is actually controlled by a pilot who occupies a cockpit inside the dinosaur’s head. All I can say is, that Pilot has incredible self control to have not gone all Godzilla on a small town or two. Just pray you don’t see this thing and it’s new owner coming down your street anytime soon.
