Giant baby robot spits fire on Roppongi

I think that this might be the closest real-life equivalent to Tetsujin 28 (aka Gigantor) that we have so far. The fact that it has a baby's face disturbs me a little bit, but that may have been the intent.

Great find Jet_Jaguar,

I love Kenji Yanobe's work. Noticed the mighty atom yellow suits on the stairs. He had an exhibit at UCSB 11 years ago.
