GIANT ROBOTS PARTROL NORTH KOREA!

South Korean robotics firm Hankook Mirae Technology have created a really cool manned giant robot called Method-2! Weighing in at 1.5 tons the machine has drawn comparisons with the Amplified Mobility Platform suit in blockbuster Avatar and is built to work in extreme hazardous areas where humans cannot go or construction sites and even military purposes.

It stands at 13 Feet tall and took only 12months to get to where it is today and if rumours are to believed is acting as a warning to North Korea and Kim Jong-Un – potentially appearing at the North/South Korean border.

However as cool as this looks and sounds the robot is very young in development and can only take very small steps due to it having balance and power problems.

Hanbook plan to have the final version of Method-2 ready for potential buyers by the end of 2017 and is expected to sell for around £6.8 million.
