12,000 Lb Mechanical Spider - Moltensteelman Walking Beast (VIDEO)

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.

Like I always said, I'm not buying a mechanical spider until I see one that is at least 14,000 pounds.
