Hatsune Miku gets her own transforming robot [Video]

With Good Smile Company*and Team Ukyo’s Good Smile Racing already*well into their Super GT campaign, they have recently released a new promo video, and it features their lovable mascot, Racing Miku 2014 and Good Smile Racing’s BMW z4 GT3 which later transforms*into a giant robot.

The Racing Miku transformer was tentatively named the Miku Motoroid and is designed by Macross mecha designer Shoji Kawamori. It aimed to incorporate both the design of*Good Smile Racing’s BMW z4 GT3 and Hatsune Miku into the robot itself thus having both a “transformer” kind of feel complete with a spoiler, the car’s headlights, trunk, wheels, and more as well as sporting a more feminine design*as compared to*most mechas and of course, Miku’s signature twin tails. It’s gotta have twin tails, right?

Racing Miku 2014, who appears alongside the Good Smile Racing robot is meanwhile designed by Kantai Collection character designer Oguchi with supervision by Eureka Seven and Rebuild of Evangelion designer Shigeto Koyama. She was revealed alongside the Miku Motoroid during Good Smile Racing’s pep rally which was held during the Winter Wonder Festival 2014 last February.
