Totally Unfair Robot Fight

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Wednesday, 30 of September , 2009 at 2:00 am

A special ROBO-ONE style combat event took place in Japan last weekend. To participate, robots had to be modeled on (or at least dressed up as) a fictional robot character from one of the productions of Japan’s Sunrise Corporation, which is probably most famous for bringing us Gundam. And Cowboy Bebop.

The video above pits a gigantic RX-78-2 Gundam (one of these) against a human sized Blue Comet SPT Layzner, and the outcome is (hilariously) just about what you’d expect. I, unfortunately, am in no way qualified to speculate on which one of these bots would win if the real (fictional) versions met on the battlefield, but I invite any authorities on the subject matter to post in the comments and let us know whether or not it really would be such a short (and undignified) battle.

I was waiting for the little guy to grab hold of the big guy’s leg. Theory being that extra weight on the leg will bring it off balance and topple it.
