Life Sized Imperial Knight Titan, anyone?
So if you’re a massive Warhammer 40,000 nerd (which you may have noticed that I am) then you won’t have missed the fact that they’ve recently launched models of the Knight Titans. These are meant to nine-metre tall walking robots that do the scouting and skirmish work for much larger giant robotic killing machines.
I am a big fan of this idea, and it got me thinking about Zoids, those robotic skirmishing toys from the 80’s which happened to also have a great comic strip written by none other than Grant Morrison. They too were meant to be dinosaur sized, the smaller ones clearing the way for the bigger ones.
Someone even made a huge model of the big daddy of all Zoids, Zoidzilla. It was on Blue Peter and did the rounds at various fayres and festivals of the time. It roared and looked cool.
This is the only picture I could find of it , a family snap of chap called Alex Light. He doesn’t look like that any more 🙂
So this got me to thinking; maybe someone will make life-sized Imperial Knight? They’ve done Drop-Pods and tanks in the post, how difficult would it be to make a giant killy robot statue? (Probably very, but still).
Wouldn’t fit in the back garden, sadly.

Late to this but been looking for photos of the giant Zoidzilla. I worked for Tomy toys in the 80’s and drove it on Blue Peter, Get Fresh in Plymouth, A festival at Hyde Park and hamleys opening in York. It was made by some guys in France and use for marketing events in the Mid 80’s. I was sat in the belly of the beast and controlled it with a couple of levers. Anyone have any photos?
