Ok Yamato, this is the next transforming toy we need!

Imagine if this was a Valkyrie?!

Very impressive. My kid watched that with me and wants me to build one.

[connor99]

Very nice indeed. Wonder how much it cost to build that proto?

[Old_Nash]

Dear Santa....

[Mr March]

That is quite the achievement. Most impressive.

[raptormesh]

1.98 Million yen, so about $23k?

Yaiks.

Buy one of those MIT robot competition kits and build one yourself for about $200.00.

Funny enough this thing remind me of an 80s old robot toy I had. It transformed on its own and was tethered to a wired controller. It had the same features as the video robot except its feet rolled, and had no camera.

Yes, a Yamato one… then the toy would brake itself and I wouldn't feel guilty for "misstransforming it"... JUST KIDDING!

Seriously, this is amazing, and 5 years from now these things will look even more incredible and maybe affordable.

1.98 Million yen, so about $23k?

Yaiks.

And it is not a Yamato toy. As Yamato prices keep skyrocketing I don't imagine the final cost.

Oh man! Kill it with fire! Those creepy little baby steps...

Interesting nevertheless

Engineering-wise it's very cool.

As a car it looks terrible and not much better as a robot.
