(techno music)

(factory hum)

Everyone in the shop came to watch

every time that Bruce gets suited-up.

Everyone comes out and stares.

That's when it started getting special.

[Man] Tops away, Bruce.

It's heavy.

Way more than your last fitting.

This is ambitious, it looks cool.

If it works like everything we want it to, it's cool.

I've gotta make that work, we're going to Comic-Con.

(power tools)

When you have Alan Scott come out and go,

all the faces of these guys that have done it

for 30 years all turn into 12-year olds.

The ultimate thrill comes when

you get to see it come to life.

It's come full-circle, what started as a seed,

and great ideas in your head, now you're performing

and that's the great joy that we all have.

I think that there's gonna be

constant attention where it's set up

and word-of-mouth is gonna spread very quickly.

I think there's just gonna be

a lot of people are gonna check this thing out.

A lot of people are gonna back away from the thing

just 'cause it looks like

it's made out of tons of steel

and it's just light-weight plastic.

Ya know, when you're looking at it

you just kinda go, well, alright

there it is and then he sorta-like jumps at you

and it's pretty startling, ya know,

I even jump a little bit.

I think the fans will love it.

To see something that big, that detailed,

that cool walking around.

It's gonna be really fun.

I'm always really impressed with the cosplay,

people who get dressed up because that's a lot of work.

It's very, very impressive so I think

that they will be very, very, very happy

to something so massive in front of them

that really is built just for them

to enjoy and have something to track with.

That is the crowd you want to unveil

in front of, those people love

the fantastic and the sci-fi and they love cosplay.

This will be definitely the most interactive

character that I've dealt with

in the Comic-Con situation, which is really cool

and it's gonna create a huge buzz, I think

so a lot of people are gonna start talking about it.

When he's performing live,

all the noise and sound effects

and everything get added in post

so this is actually happening in real time.

And it just makes the character come to life,

but if something's actually moving

and making noises and interacting with them

I think it's gonna blow their minds.

(crowd)

Test, test, test, test.

(robot growls)

How many seconds do I have to comply?

How many seconds do I have to reach minimum safe distance?

(laughs)

How are you?

Very good, sir.

Wow!

Wow!

You see this guy come out,

not a guy, you see a robot.

I know it's a guy, 'cause the guy disappears.

So, this machine steps up and he starts

kinda moving his arms and well, that's really fluid.

This is amazing, and he starts to walk

and he's not stumbling or anything.

This is that first moment going, whoa.

(cheers)

I think my most memorable moment

was when we got kicked out of Comic-Con.

I mean, how many people have gotten

kicked out of Comic-Con because they don't have badges

like you never get in in the first place.

We not only got in, we got in with a giant crew,

with a film crew and a gigantic 400 pound robot.

My most memorable, because it was

stressful as hell, was when Bruce was in the NBC

and we had to take him to a whole 'nother locations,

which was probably three quarters of a block away.

We could see everybody just coming across the street

and I could just see nothin' but bobbing heads

and it was crazy.

I did feel like we were rock stars at that time.

There were moments where like

Oh, this'll be fun, oh this'll be fun.

I'm like, Bruce is in there, you're burnin' him.

It's like, quick, just make your decision.

Just go, go, go, go, go.

This is it, Bruce, you're out of there.

All right guys, this is the last photo.

Right now, last photo, that's it.

Thank you all. Thank you very much.

The people who go to Comic-Con,

they all have a very similar goal.

And that is to shine and share

and see all their shared geekdom.

It's an ideal place to take a character like this.

Every one of your senses is engaged

when you're standing in front

of something real like this.

You can see it. You can hear it.

You can touch it.

It really made people respond.

Can I pet your dog?

Don't be afraid young man.

I'll destroy you.

People actually thought there was a robot,

which is kinda fun.

Even in person it fooled a lot of people,

which was really cool.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

A robot.

A robot?

And everybody just wanted it

to be amazed at how cool it was.

Would you be my girlfriend?

Probably the most exciting thing

I take away from this week was

We were welcome to show off this artistry.

Everything that you're working toward

is when you're live, on camera

in front of people, and you get to react

and interact with them and make them smile

and make them look at it and wonder what the hell is that?

How is that working?

It's so satisfying.

That's the ultimate thing, is

to take it out there and show people stuff

that they've never seen before.

So in the end, he was revealed.

Did we achieve the mission?

Did we, did we hit the goal we were setting out to hit.

And, the answer is, way beyond, any of our expectations.

(cheers and applause)

If you like robots, say Oh ba.

(crowd mumbles)

Awesome.

Watch your heads.

I'm extremely dangerous.

(robot and crowd talking)
