Through a series of iterative robot designs produced over the past decade, the team led by Kenji Ishida has created a transforming robot called the Brave Robot (version 9) that switches effortlessly into a vehicle and back again. It uses a game controller as a remote control for operation and has an on-board Wi-Fi camera that can be viewed on a tablet. Furthermore, the exterior parts of the 1/12 scale robot are now made using a recently acquired 3D printer, adding to its awesomeness even more.

In vehicle mode, the car can be steered and moved around as a normal RC vehicle. In humanoid mode, the robot is able to walk, shoot projectile from its arms, and do some impressive hero poses.

Nice. Now we just need some Evil AI for it and then we have some Decepticons to run riot here on Earth :p

Me want.

Japanese robotic rocks, as always.

Miniaturicon assemble!

The transformation looked very impressive but I like the moon walk sequence even more.
