Oddly, this is not the first Thomas themed insect mecha I’ve seen. Someone built a similar Thomas mecha with a working laser that was (at least in the video) powerful enough to burn things! I recall that the walker itself is a commercially available toy but it still took a fair amount of modeling skill to modify it.
The Thomas version was built by Y Nakajima, and it's not even the only such thing he's come up with. I don't even know how to word this appropriately, but his extreme fondness of the blue #1 is so alien compared to the actual fanbase (like us) that he's turned him into his face crawling on walls and ceilings, a quadcopter, a submarine, a fidget spinner and even one that would most likely get me banned for showing here. Garigarigari must be trying to follow in his footsteps albeit with Percy. Furthermore, there's even an American counterpart by Peter Sripol that replaces the laser with a flamethrower.
