I would love to see this.
No. You keep that thing away from me.
Hate spiders.

Okay that is one of the coolest things I have ever seen and I hate spiders too.
Guys clearly this is an early tachikoma
I, for one, welcome our new arachnid overlords.
Tachikoma’s grandpappy?
Maybe a Wild Wild West bastard son?
@Dreth
An under-appreciated film, I thought.
Oh and wow tiki, I just submitted that last night.
Thats a lot of expendable income to make a 5 million euro spider and put on a free show through out a town. Must’ve been either really fucking scary or awesomely awesome.
@Nimbo
Not a Tachikoma, tachikoma have 4 legs, not 8…
I’m going with Dreths WWW Loveless/mecharachnid love child…
Let me tell ya, It was a sight, I live in good old Liverpool ans this was here for a week, It was pretty amazing to say the least !
Grrr. So that is where my minions misplaced my ATV.

Does it need a crane to walk too?
No crane needed, once it’s off it’s trailer it’s all metal animal, it walks and spits water out of it ass ( Abdomin )
