A Japanese electronics company has unleashed a four-ton, thirteen-foot robot on an unsuspecting world.

The KR01 Kuratas Battle Mech is the brainchild of Suidobashi Heavy Industry and with a price tag of almost £1m it is more than just a toy! Production was started around two years ago (2010) by robotics researcher Wataru Yoshizaki and artist Kogoro Kurata.
