No, that's not the plot of some silly sci-fi movie, it's actually happening. There's a somewhat sensationally titled video available of the 8 meter/60 foot robot assembly running some small movement tests where it twists its torso and lifts a leg, then places it back down. Small steps, but the initial plan is to have this beast debut this October in free-standing/walking form.
Welcome to 2020. We may have calamity upon calamity, but at least we've got a Gundam.
