Eeek!!! – there’s a world’s largest rhinoceros bettle in my backyard! – and it’s on wheels?

Posted on 06 June 2009 by admin

Well…  Not really…. It doesn’t do everything like what most Asian rhinoceros bettles do like eating, biting, fighting etc.  And there’s no way you can find a 4-foot household cage to feed them either, which is insane thing to ask at a local Japanese pet store.

Whilst I was happily browsing the internet,  I found this really cool comment link from Japanator.com, that tells us an actual story about an elderly scientist who put together this massive mecha bettle that runs on wheels and can take up the entire warehouse store, and provide rides for passengers up to 6 people in one go in its abdomen!  The 60-year-old scientist took about 11 years to construct such a monstrosity out in his garage and he never broke a sweat while putting all the parts together.  This guy’s just simply amazing!  How on earth did he do that? And how the heck he could find the time to do that, considering his age? (no age discrimation is intended here).

Regardless, he’s accomplished where no mecha enthusiasts had ever thought possible, other than in their little dream world.  Sources indicated he’s given this bettle a name.  ”Kabutom RX-03” is the name.  The dimensions of the mecha are

Kabutom RX03 Dimensions

Length: 11 metres; Wide: 9.5 metres; Weight: 15 tonnes

The 60-year-old scientist, Takahashi-san, demonstrated that the unit can be controlled using a remote control.  Check the Youtube clip below and see the great action takes place!
