Apr 2 2009Who Called It?: Fire-Breathing Robo-Baby Of Death Unleashed Upon The World
When I'm right, I'm right. And I was right. This is what death looks like.
Sculptor Kenji Yanobe's Giant Torayan robot, a 7.2-meter (24-ft) tall mechanical baby that sings, dances and spits fire, was sighted in Tokyo's Roppongi district last night. The fire-breathing robot spent the night on center stage at "Roppongi Art Night," an all-night event featuring installations and performances by dozens of artists at various venues in the area.
Well folks, it's been fun. *guzzling booze and Amoxicillin*
UPDATE: Am I dead? My tummy hurts.
Hit the jump for a bunch more of the last thing you'll ever see.

Thanks to Paul, Katie, Paladin, Margo the Jeweler, Emily, Jon and Romeo, who are all smart enough to know, that when it's time, to drink the Kool-Aid.

So uh... how big of a Peekaru do u think one would need for that fire spewing baby?
14. Cortniej - April 2, 2009 7:47 PM
I could take down that baby, it doesn't even have fingers to grab me with... I always said babies = death, and i guess i have always been right.
15. nadalo - April 2, 2009 8:02 PM
LOL i was there on saturday night and saw the whole thing live....i must say it only breathed fire like 3 times, a bit of a downer...wanted to see it taking over tokyo...what a way to die ;)

FAKE!!!!
This is a complet photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max went to Tokyo and spent the night in Roppongi, and visited the Gas Panic during their 50 Yen per drink happy hour, where the only rule is you need to have a drink in hand at all times. Needless to say he got shitfaced and spent less than it cost for breakfast. He walked home where he was happy to have the frequent beer machines for company.

Around it's little prison door thing are titties... Or is that just me? Cuz, you know, all fire breathing baby robots should have titties!

Come now; who doesn't love a fire-breathing hermaphrodite baby? There's nothing like XXY, they're good people of both types.
Quite a few runway models are XXY...so the next time you find a runway model hot, think to yourself that she could possibly have testicles instead of ovaries.
So yea, this is the kind of stuff that occures to me at 3 o'clock in the morning because, let's face it, I'm a proverbial fount of utterly useless information.

So this is what death looks like? Way to go to spoil it GW! Argh :( :P ! I was looking forward to guzzling booze and Amoxicillin my self, but now that GW has told me exactly what will happen I don't think it's worth dying anymore, damn you!

Kenji Yanobe is king.
When the singularity comes he will build a 100 foot monster suit out of bento boxes and personally beat the terminators to a smoldering heap of non-reusable components.
or he'll just retreat to his secret nuclear proof north pole compound to breed the next generation of otakus.
In any case, he's king.
and my god it will be beatiful.
23. Andyman - April 3, 2009 7:46 AM
Man, the bringer of death seems a little wanting.

@2 just like yourself, how does it feel to pee on your own boulders?
28. Quik - April 3, 2009 10:00 AM
Will this grow up to be Big O?
...and what's up with the group of baby astronauts standing in front of it in the fifth picture. They are scarier than the big one.
It is impressive, looks like a lot of work. I wonder if he lives inside it, hence the door. I would if i put that much work into it.
It would be about the same as living in the average size Tokyo apartment... except its a large, metal, fire-breathing baby apartment.
