Astroboy is the english title for the Japanese anime “Tetsuwan Atomu” which translates to “Mighty Atom” and literally to “Iron Arm Atom” that was first shown on Japanese TV from 1963 to 1966.

Transformers Papercraft

I heard the Transformers movie rocks. I haven’t seen it yet but I plan to watch it next week. Meanwhile, I have uncovered two robot papercrafts that you might love to build. The transformers papercrafts. Well, not literally the autobot and decepticon from the movie but two adorable models called the roboticon and destrutobot. Ok, I take that back. The destructobot looks scary. You can get ‘em here.

Gigantor Papercraft

Gigantor (originally Tetsujin, literally “Iron Man #28″) was a manga by Mitsuteru Yokoyama published in 1958 which was later made into several anime series, the first in 1963. It was the first “giant robot” series. A live action motion picture with heavy use of computer generated graphics was produced in Japan in 2005 based on the old comics as opposed to the newer version in “New Gigantor” which was translated into many languages including Arabic.
