Robosaurus Up For Auction

The 40-foot tall, 30 ton monster known for crushing cars at events and even staring in a recent Toyota commercial is going up for auction.

It's claim to fame is picking up two ton cars, setting them on fire with a 20 flame, and then crushing and tearing them apart with 24,000 pounds of force. The monster is run by a pilot who sits in a cockpit inside the dinosaur’s head. It can now be yours, since it's set to be auctioned off during the annual Barrett-Jackson car auction in Scottsdale, Arizona between January 12 and January 20.

You can see pictures and video of the monster in action, read about it's history and other details about the machine at their site HERE. The site makes some noise, so if you're in the office, you might want to turn the sound down.
