12,000 Lb Mechanical Spider

Moltensteelman Walking Beast

Spiders normally give me the heebie-jeebies, but this machine is pretty impressive. It helps that it doesn't actually look too much like a real spider. It just has eight legs that move like spider legs. Powered by a 454 cubic inch Chevy V-8, the Beast is 11 feet tall, 23 feet long, and over 8 feet wide. And it can even carry up to 8 passengers! The way this moves almost reminds me of something you would see in a more refined form in a Star Wars movie, filled with Imperial Storm Troopers.
