Crazy Japanese Ironsmith Creates His Own Bulldozer

What do you get when you mix a Fiat 500—a popular and tiny 50s car in Italy—with a bulldozer and a crazy Japanese ironsmith? A Fiat 500 bulldozer with crazy—and very happy—Japanese ironsmith inside, as the video shows.

Kogoro Kurata’s invention only runs at 3 kilometers per hour, but who cares. It’s red, it has treads, it can destroy stuff. That’s all that matters to me. Better than Transformers 2 for sure. [Ironwork via Pink Tentacle]

    @HyperDrunk: You mean it's a good movie if you have no respect for the source material.

    And yes, even when your source material is an 80's cartoon created for the sole purpose of selling cheap plastic toys from Japan to 6-year-olds, you RESPECT THAT SHIT.

    @Amir Oulad: agreed, it was a good movie, if you don't nitpick the story. the action and graphics were well done.

    This sucked! its not a bulldozer its a 1mph beetle on treads with a plow. Booooo!

  • Amir Oulad

    That is so freaking sweet, He should have combined it with a jet engine, so it can pick up some speed, I also love the colour.

    Btw
    I can't believe you keep bashing Transformers 2.
    It's a movie about alien robots who transform in vehicles who were created by a rock.
    What do you expect a story ?! Good luck with that.
    No,you expect explosions, giant robot fights, chase scenes, hot sexy nearly nude women, Pew pew and some more pew pew.

    And it have every thing what you expect to be of action. I really liked it and indeed there were some moments where i thought: "wait, wtf is going on hear?"
    But I still loved it.

    Why would you do that do a Fiat 500? A Mini, sure. I can see that. But those Fiats are classics.

    @Sticks Calhoun: Also, obligatory puns:

    He's on the right track!
    I hope he doesn't doze off at the wheel!

    You can always tell a modder (or redneck) by all the junk cars up on blocks and misc pieces parts they have in the yard. Treasures they cant part with, in case they ever get aorund to doing that particular project.

  • Deoki

    Well... at 3km/h seem party-hard inside, those shaky wacky japanese dudes!

    I was kinda sad because I was expecting to see a Metal Slug character running into it with a grenade...

    Awe, come on. Trasformers 2 didn't say anything here.

    I'm at work and can't watch the video. Does he have the original engine in that thing? Or did he upgrade to a hamster-in-a-wheel?
