Recently, the French creative company La Machine presented their newest creation, a 46-foot-tall robotic Minotaur, in Toulouse, France.

Accompanied by a 42-foot spider, the 10,000-pound beast machine roamed through the labyrinth of the city’s streets as part of their multiday show Le Gardien du Temple, during which they also showcased some of their other giant robot puppets.

The Minotaur machine is half electric and half combustion, moving around the city with the help of 17 operators. Scroll down to see the videos and photos of the event.
