ENOUGH MERE FANTASY. Now it's Time for Reality!!!
Step aside GODZILLA and KING KONG!
Monster Robots, Inc. presents ROBOSAURUS!!

ROBOSAURUS is an electrohydromechanical machine of prehistoric proportions designed and built for a single purpose: entertainment. Standing 40 feet tall and weighing 58,000 pounds, it is the worlds first real monster - not a mere Hollywood special effects fantasy such as GODZILLA or KING KONG.
ROBOSAURUS demolishes cars and thrills auto extravaganza crowds. He lifts cars weighing 4,000 pounds 50 feet in the air while breathing 20 foot fingers of flame that incinerate paint and plastic. He bites them in half, rips off their roofs, and crushes them in his monster sized hands before hurling the mangled carcasses to the ground.
ROBOSAURUS is controlled by a human pilot and copilot strapped inside the monster's cranium -- just like the imaginary TRANSFORMER and GOBOT toys. He also hydraulically transforms himself rapidly into a legal licensed trailer (fifth wheel pin under his jaw) for easy transport from show to show.
To give ROBOSAURUS life, its creator, Monster Robots, Inc. of California worked closely with Parker Hannifin Corporation of Cleveland, Ohio and P-Q Controls, Inc. of Bristol, Connecticut. Eight divisions of Parker assisted in designing a unique turnkey system of cylinders, valves, pumps, motors, filters, seals, hoses and fittings.
P-Q Controls helped develop the sophisticated fly-by-wire electronic system that enables the pilot to have full independent control of eighteen hydraulic functions simultaneously. This is essential for smooth lifelike coordinated motion during a show.
Engineers who have seen the highly mobile ROBOSAURUS in action call this Hi-tech Tyrannosaurus "a powerful demonstration of state-of-the-art hydraulic technology".
ROBOSAURUS - THE MOVIE was aired in 1992. This two hour live action television movie pilot was scripted and produced by Universal Studios under contract to NBC.

The Monster as a trailer meets all 50 states' requirements for a legal trailer. Sizewize, this essentially means less than 48 feet long (47'9" actual), 13 1/2 feet high (13'4" actual), 8 1/2 feet wide (8'4" actual), less than 60,000 pounds (58,200 actual). In addition, numerous lighting, air brake and emergency braking requirements had to be met to obtain California Highway Patrol (CHP) certification, an official Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), the license plate and insurance.
