March 16 (UPI) -- A surprised driver on a Japanese highway captured video of an unusual spectacle -- a giant robot being transported on a flatbed truck.

Twitter user @ok0 posted a video to the site showing the giant robot -- actually a statue of a giant robot from anime series Patlabor -- being transported on the back of a flatbed truck on the Sanyo Expressway.

The statue was one of several made in 2015 to promote the final film in the Patlabor series.

The replica robots have since been spotted in multiple locations around the country as they are rented out for festivals and other events.
