Officially it is only a statue.
Unofficially, probably a prototype to bring glory to the emperor.

Nice one:D maybe they are planning to build an army of giant robots like in shogo:mad.
I'd like to try driving it(or piloting or something).

If I had a giant jumbo jet, or a Chinook, I'd hijack it just to piss off the Japanese. Then again, the current prototype (legs?) looks pretty solid and neat, so it'd be something nice to have too
Also lukasz I really want to know who that brunette in the wedding gown on your imageshack album is

I realy like that mecha. I soo wish I could go and see it.

I know you do. I saw the thread.
