Seriously, Asia, you are so close to violating all sorts of treaties and stuff…and if you’re not, then you bloody well should be. It was unsettling enough when Japan built life size replicas of the RX-78 Gundam and Gigantor. Well, in retaliation of Japan’s robot "statues," South Korea has constructed a 364 foot monstrosity to challenge all robotic opposition in the form of Taeqwan V (a.k.a. Voltar the Invincible.) And they aren’t stopping with Voltar. This "statue" (death machine) was built for an "amusement park" (factory) called Robot Land.
That’s right. They are gearing up for mass production and disguising it as an amusement park!!! To give you an idea on how massive this fucker is going to be, 364 feet is twice the size of Lady Liberty herself, and 6 times the size of the Gundam statue from Japan. Damn straight, "Invincible." We might as well cut to the chase, get down on our knees now, and beg for the Giant Robot Bukakke. C’mon, South Korea. Really…You guys are supposed to be the friendlier face of the Korean front.
On another note, I now have a reason to go to South Korea. Because as scary as Asians possessing a fleet of giant robots is, the 12 year old in me wants to *squeeee* in absolute joy at the prospect.
Below are the concept photos of Voltar and the park. This place is supposed to open sometime around 2014, and by open I mean launch an all out attack.
D.S. Out.
