Very nice photos!

Just out of interest, are there any more photos of the original digger out there? I think it make me squee.

If you want to see more pics, google Schaufelradbagger

The Bagger on the photo is the Schaufelradbagger [bucket-wheel excavator] 288 by Krupp Industrietechnik (first built in 1978).

He can clear 240.000 tons a day, and still is the largest excavator in the world.

More can be found here.

Every japanese movie/tv series I ever saw, except Godzilla x Mecha-Godzilla (but that was a Giant Robot that was a copy of a Giant Monster, so I guess it malfunctioned somehow)

If I had a problem with that thing, I'd get Denfeld to solve it With His Fists.

Whatever, we're certainly gonna need a bigger boat.

Aw, giant kittens. They mean no harm...

But by the looks of the second photo, they may have been responsible for 9/11?

So Giant Kittens are the enemy of freedom hey? Do they hide in the hills of Afghanistan with OBL? Why do they hate our freedom?

If I was gonna fight it, I'd scurry around it's ramps and gantries with a screwdriver on reverse, pulling out all the screws and sawing through weight-bearing girders. It would be very easy, because it's only real weapon is it's size (which I'm using against it) and it's digging arm, which I'm well hidden from- if it tries to scratch it'll only fuck itself up.

On you could go stand under it, 'glorifying terrorism', and it would instantly be destroyed, simultaneously with the British Way of Life™.

Back to the original Q. Wouldn't this be a simple job for Kitty Pryde?

And how would she win, by passing through it?

No, this is a special mission. A job for ...evil kitty.
