@monaiz942 Actually it is a guy in a robot suit DO YOUR RESEARCH DUMBASS!

[takodakerr]

This... This is not good for the human race!

[MrGC1989]

dear santa...............

[codenamevengeance]

Nah...there's no guy in there. I do believe that he's remote controlled. If he isn't then you can say that's some advanced robotics. I mean how hard would it be to play some preset audio through a bot? All you need is a set of wireless speakers. Plus, a guy won't be able to fit in there.

@beedubs even if there is, its still pretty cool looking suit

[GmoneyLOV]

i NEED to know how to build an exo suit like this

[Toobulations]

Regardless if it's just a costume, it's still a pretty bad-ass costume!

[MPSecare]

if i payed money to watch a guy in a robot suit play music from speakers id be pretty pissed : /

Of course it isn't really a robot. The human in the suit is about 6' tall, and controls the arms and hands through his own arms and buttons (his shoulders are about at Titan's elbow level; the shiny plate on the front is a specially coated one-way mirror). The facial expressions and show are pre-planned to fit with the music. Even the most sophisticated Japanese robots (the most high-tech out there) can't move like him and aren't balanced this well. So, no. Not real. But pretty awesome.

@AustriaShuffleHBS You're saying "Thumbs up when you agree" that means that in the future we won't have any other oportunity than agreeing with you... Robots will take over the world and kill our potatoes!

[piftorres]

Of course its a human, no robot acts like that.
