lifesized my ass... it's not even a full story tall! I'm disappointed.

Good point.
What would be impressive would be a life size Gundam that actually works... that'd be fvcking cool 🙂

I thought someone made a mechanical Gundam. Not life sized, but big and it would walk around. I thought I saw it at slashdot a while back.

I wanna pilot 🙂

Aside from a computer, WTF is a gundam?

Or, if research is not your strong suit:

The Technology Glossary includes a definition for Gundam

Gundam
An advanced mobile suit made entirely from Gundanium alloy, from which it derives it name. Thanks to its Gundanium construction, a Gundam is not only virtually indestructible, but is also invisible to radar and thus can only be detected at close range. Five Gundams were created by rebel space colonists for use in Operation Meteor, with firepower and performance far surpassing that of the Alliance's mass-produced mobile suits.

Gundanium alloy
A unique compound which can only be produced in the zero-gravity conditions of space. In addition to its incredible strength, Gundanium alloy is electrically nonconductive and cannot be detected by radar. However, this material is expensive and difficult to manufacture, making it unfeasible for mass production.

mobile suit
A humanoid vehicle operated by a human pilot. Military mobile suits stand about 16 meters tall, and carry hand weapons like machine guns, beam rifles, and beam sabers. Most are designed for a specific environment - land, space, air or water - though the Alliance's standard Leo model is flexible enough to be adapted for both land and space use.
 
I figured out that it's a battle mech thing, but where did it come from, why is this guy making one, and who wrote the story behind them, etc.
