Apparently the “Empire of the sun” Strikes Back with a direct rip-off of “Return of the Jedi”. That’s a near duplicate Scout Walker that the dark side used to eradicate the Ewok from the forests of Endor.

Trembling steps toward the future of transportation…
It’s interesting to see that more work has been put into making it resemble artistic impressions of robots than making a practical vehicle (it seems like it can’t even lift its feet). Which again proves that art is almost always the first step in human development, wether social or technological.

Hm… there’s something interesting what it cares on its left and right sholders: a small gun and a chaingun. The robot seem to be military one.
