This Is How You Build a Fully Functional 9-Foot Mech

Go behind the scenes for a look at how the awesome WIRED mech that ruled Comic-Con came to be.

If you were at Comic-Con, you almost certainly got a glimpse of our not-so-little friend — we call him the WIRED Mech — stomping around and blowing peoples minds. And if you weren't at Comic-Con, well, here's your chance to see him up close.

For Geek Week, we're giving you an inside peek at how the WIRED Mech went from brainstorm to finished product in little more than four weeks. It wouldn't have been possible without the technical expertise from the guys at Stan Winston School and Legacy Effects. They had experts working around the clock, finishing just in time to eradicate humanity debut at SDCC 2013.

So kick back and enjoy the video because what better way is there to spend five minutes than watch FX pros craft a huge robot from scratch? Be sure to check back each day for another Mech fix because we're posting a new vid each day this week.
