TRAILER FIEND: GAIKING

Yes that's right. Gaiking. Of the popular Shogun Warrior toys of the late 70's. I had a couple and they were awesome. Aside from my own personal nostalgia trip I'm sure many want to see these giant robots in action. Now, this is just a teaser that showcases the basic look and style which was initially supposed to be a short in the up coming Heavy Metal movie. (A subject we will undoubtedly come back to in the near future) As development progressed it got too big for a short and is now on it's way to being a feature film.

I have no recollection of what the story was with Shogun Warriors but they are apparently following the marvel comics story line published in the same era. They include monsters, space aliens and of course more giant robots. Now I gotta go and find those old comics.

I know Transformers 2 left a bad taste in everyones mouth, but I'm not going to give up on giant robots yet, and neither should you. Though I'm not expecting a cinematic masterpiece, I'm sure it will be a lot of fun.

Anyway. Check out this teaser and be as giddy with joy and excitement as I am.
