Giant Fire Breathing Robot Baby Is “The Ultimate Child’s Weapon”

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 30 of March , 2009 at 2:39 am

Robobaby

It sings. It dances. It’s 24 feet tall, and it breathes fire. Need I say more?

I can say a little more… and it’s name is TORAYAN. It’s described by the creators (Yanobi Kenji Art Works) as “the ultimate child’s weapon” since it uses voice recognition to only take orders (to torch people, I can only assume) from kids. This can only end well. The only thing I’m wondering at this point is whether this thing is more or less creepy/demonic than this.
