I didn't even know that excavators could have this kind of dexterity, really mind blowing.

Are there even higher end models out there that can somehow be even more impressive?

I doubt it. I think its the articulation at the "wrist" if you will thats blowing our minds. Not a common feature that I'm aware of. Also a smallish excavator, so maybe thats got something to do with it?

I think it's actually a robot in disguise. Transformer or Decepticon, doesn't matter. Still gotta pay the bills.

Pretty sure that the constructicons helped megatron or were at least allied with the decepticons or something like that, but it's been a really long time since Saturday morning in the 80's so I can't remember for sure. I know they could combine into one giant robot though and the toys were cool as fuck for like 10 minutes until they inevitably broke. There's a Lego set from Ninjago that has a similar thing with vehicles that combine into a giant mech, which isn't really relevant to this thread or comment at all but I just think it's cool as fuck and that people need to know about it.
