The famed 1:1 RX-78-2 Gundam, previously dominating Odaiba, is now being re-erected in Shizuoka.
Some shots of its reconstruction can be seen below:
The statue is set to receive upgraded weaponry in the form of a beam sabre; its reopening is due on the 24th of July.

俺がガンダムだ
Another Gundam? pshh... Where's the life-sized Evangelion???
I'm gonna erect an EVA right next door with functioning weapons and blow this crappy Gundam away.
俺がガンダム－！
they can slowly upgrade it to the real thing over time! its the perfect disguised weapon! lol
Don't anyone feel its a coincidence they erected this Gundam after N.Korea trolling S. Korea?
Did anyone else misread it to "Huge Erection Inspires PUBIC Awe"?
Sexy Mecha is sexy. It gave me an erection.
Errrrrecting a Gundam.
*keeps whacking it with a wrench to build it faster*
*5 minutes later*
Spy sapping my Gundam!
I dunno man, Engineer update is going to be coming soon. Cross your fingers we get a mobile sentry that looks like a Gundam!
Gundams don't quite fit the 50s style of TF2.
And besides, accounting for Valve Time and the amount of trolling Valve is doing towards the fanbase with the "we don't have anything this week" updates on their blog, I expect the Engineer update sometime around HL2:EP3 's release.
Cock tease!
oooooh i wish i could go see it
The statue is set to receive upgraded weaponry in the form of a beam sabre
FUCK YEAH
oh, that kind of erection :P
Need Gundam here!
Where in Shizuoka? Shizuoka-shi?
To be able to make AND re-erect this WITH a beam saber added makes me wonder whether they're trying to make it into a national weapon instead.Imagine a destroy gundam monument towering over Japan a few years into the future.
Erectin' a dispenser
I'd love to see the box for this model :v
lol thats a humongous boner
Damn you and your forever misleading titles.
"huge gundam monument gets re-erected while japan stood still and watched another prime minister resign" rofl
*looks at title, then at the article*
WTF.... Oh Artefact, you.... :)
LOLZ>>>>>> IDIOTS = Trolled by the title
Yay! Gundam 1 : 1 sets!
Misleading title much?
I don't know what you're talking about - it's just a statue being erected after all.
LOL! You got to remember, when you put out anything with the word "erect" in the title, everybody here thinks "cock festival?". And they flock to it in masses!
I think a censored thumbnail of a "grey dolphin" kind of removed any indication of a sexually related topic.
Cool a beam saber. Note that the right beam saber on the backpack is missing.
Well, when it's done, if the saber beam slowly materializes, that could count as an erection of some sort.
Bring in the bazooka and epic shield already! =D
I lol'd
Same here
Yeah, what a truly massive erection...
it's safe to say, we all did. I mean, who the hell wanted to see a raging cock anyhow? unless you were really waiting to be awed...
as in "AAAAW open wide..." >_o
By the title I was expecting another of those cock festivals.
Side note-
Why don't I remember a gundam having a cannon there? It's a perfect place to store one and it also adds much more power to the attack due to the cannon being directly attached to the main power source.
Literally Balls of Steel.
(that was a weak joke, but better than artefact).
Nice try dude.
isnt that the neo armstrong jet armstrong cannon?
damn you! I was trolled by the title =/
Eh, I figured it was either about that certain festival or a building. I still await the day some random thieving kid runs off with one and becomes an epic hero of sorts. Seems to happen all the time.
I assumed the article was about a festival when I clicked the link in twitter.
What I wouldn't give to be part of that gunpla crew D:
I missed it last year, I'll be damned if I miss it again this year.
All I got to see were dark spots on the grass at the site in Odaiba. D:
I'm going with a Puma ....one good shot with a PPC and down goes your mech or its crippled and you get picked off :P
Eh.. A Marauder would be better..
@Anon 00:47
No, you're not. The TimberWolf/Mad Cat is a "classic", but I'd certainly settle for a (functional) Kit Fox!
I really love Gundams and stuff. But am I the only Battletech fan here, who actually would be really happy if someone in the World would build a life sized replica of a, lets say a MadCat MKII oder a small Vulture or something. ? ^^
Should build a life-sized Gurren Lagann. Its erection will definitely pierce the heavens.
First normal RX-78 then Rx78 with beam saber. It's a matter of time till they upgrade it into Hi-nu gundam
Me too! Damn it.
Thought at least the gundam have "extra" part installed.
Well the front pic was featuring the appropriate body part, so...
Didn't we all? :V
Now if they could do one of Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bunny...
Ya right. I don't think anyone would get married under one of those...
same here lol... dam erection...
accidentally squirt. dam.
what, are you all NEETs?
i wonder if there will be some Jedi trying to take the beam saber...
I GET IT! IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE ERECTION USUALLY REFERS TO SEX, BUT HERE IT'S REFERRING TO SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY!
HAHAHAHA, THAT'S HILARIOUS!
Oh, wait. No it isn't. It's just a juvenile attempt to garner pageviews. Sorry, my bad.
Too bad it's also a 100% politically correct name.
New here or something? Insults, low-brow humor, trolling, misdirects, etc... it all appears sporadically.
Way to take an innocuous, nonchalant joke to heart.
Fucking killjoys man...
Are you new to the site? If so, welcome.
of all the units they could have made, why did they choose rx-78?i'm sure wing zero custom or deathscythe hell custom or even hi-nu would be better looking and would have attracted more fans
Isn't this the first Gundam?
Damn right it is, and the original Gundam has become almost as well known to the public in Japan as Star Wars over here.
Gundam Wing can't hold a torch to 0079's popularity. And making sure the bits on Hi-Nu don't topple the Gundam over would be a challenge enough. Baby steps!
I wonder who is paying for all that
Next thing that they'll add is the actual mobility of the thing.
.. then, the flight system.
You know what's next.
Righteous...I wonder if their going to do any other type of Gundam...
*drools at the image of Gundam Devil -Final- towering over Osaka*
How about erecting a full sized evangelion?
That would be cool. Wish they could build a life-size replica of the final transformation of Gurren Lagann.
When are they gonna construct GAT-X303 Aegis and Arc Angel? ohh... how bout create a new genetic human named "coordinator" then more gundam and more and more. and soon... that's where the whole story start xD.
Cosmic Era is emo fail, UC is TRUTH...
This anon speaks the truth!
>that's where the whole story start
I'm facepalming so hard it's not even funny.
Gundam 0079 started Gundam, so it's more appropriate it gets the first statue. Gundam Seed, while still being a marketing whore in Japan, has suits so ill-proportionately scaled that they'd fall over if they ever made them.
re-construction, re-erection, re-opening? Did something happen to the first Gundam statue?
Hurricane season, that's what.
Another Successful Procedure
I can't believe you quoted the Medic for this.
I love you.
The pictures gave me an erection..
ahh didnt know they took down the gundam
are they gonna tour it around japan or something?
Did you see the first photo? The mechanism the robot has between the legs? I thought that it was an engine to make a metal beam pop out!
The only site I don't mind being trolled by.
Hahaha! See my manly erection of STEEL!!!
If it was a Real Grade MS-06S Zaku II Char Custom, it's erection would be three times more awesome than any other...
