# Steampunk Cheetahs Elegant Mechanical Masterpiece by Andrew Chase By Rose Nazarali | Published 2009-07-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steampunk-mechanical-cheetah References: [bookofjoe](http://www.bookofjoe.com/2009/07/steampunk-cheetah.html) & [andrewchase](http://www.andrewchase.com/index.php?p_resource=photography) This mechanical steampunk masterpiece by Andrew Chase is a fairly accurate replica of a cheetah. The cheetah weighs a total of 40 pounds and is made from electrical and transmission parts as well as 20-gauge steel. [Cheetahs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/katie-kime) have always been a thing of intrigue for me, and I’ve got to say that Andrew Chase’s [steampunk replica](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steampunk-nautilus) is pretty breathtaking. Everything from the movement to the facial features makes this wild cat look like a [robotic cheetah](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooler-master-shark-x) of the future. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Steampunk Art:** Opportunities for artists to create intricate and unique mechanical steampunk designs - **Robotic Wildlife Replicas:** Innovative manufacturing and engineering possibilities for creating realistic robotic replicas of animals - **Functional Art Sculptures:** Opportunities for artists and engineers to collaborate and create functional sculptures that serve as both art and machinery ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can create unique and intricate steampunk-inspired sculptures to showcase their talents - **Manufacturing:** Manufacturing companies can explore innovative methods in creating realistic robotic replicas of animals like cheetahs for various purposes - **Robotics and Engineering:** Opportunities for engineers and robotic experts to advance technology in creating animal-like robots that can perform various tasks ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Steampunk-Inspired Motorcycle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirk-oehlerking.md) - [Satisfying Steampunk Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-oddly-satisfying-clock.md) - [Awareness-Raising Cheetah Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/return-of-the-cheetah.md) - [Shreddable Steampunk Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steampunk-guitar.md) - [Powerful Performance E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/king-e-cheetah.md) - [Robotically Accented Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/czapek-antarctique-rattrapante-rur.md) - [AI-Enabled Fitness Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazfit-cheetah.md) - [Steampunk Desktop Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3in1-desk.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md)
