Hello,motoko.
Thank you for your comment.
I am a fan of the Ghost in the Shell(Manga,not Anime).
After "GITS" is published in 1989, I have been positively influenced from it.
But, this model(Spider tank) is my original model.
This is new piece that belongs to my "Machine Chess Series".
Thank you.

For your information.
The multi legs guard robot has already been put to practical use in my country.
Please examine BANRYU  produced by SANYO-TMSUK on the following site if it is interested.
I designed my robot referring to the following robots who actually existed.

etc.
410000 robots had already operated in my country(in 2001).
This was an amount of 60 percent of robots in the world.The amount keeps increasing further now.
The Crown Prince in our country had introduced the latest two-legged robot to the world in "Aichi Expo" last year.
Robots are not characters of the science fiction but already the existence of the reality in my country.
