Gundam robot takes its first steps

[classicdrogn]

You can tell it's not actually standing on its feet by the way they slide around as is changes poses without moving the whole - they synchronized it well enough for the "take a step" part, but the rest of the time it's pretty blatant if you watch the bottom border where it cuts off the ankles. I rather suspect they're actually dangling in the air entirely, given how the cut-off area varies up and down, so it's basically a giant puppet supported by the hand up its butt. That's about as real as it can get for a humanoid that size honestly, barring the invention of materials stronger than steel while lighter than styrofoam to make it out of, actuators that don't trade off so hard between speed and strength as current hydraulics, and a seriously hardened surface to walk on. The rule of cool holds no weight in physics, sadly.
