This is the 1:18th scale Harvester from the Terminator: Salvation movie toy line. It stands around 18" tall, and though it was made for 1:18th scale, it fits nicely in with 1:6th as well.
It is very poseable and has a lot of neat features such as the flip up shoulder cannon / missile launcher (thinking of replacing it with something else), spring loaded opening claws (they are nice, but could use a stronger spring), the fully poseable set of smaller robotic arms with claws, and lastly, light up searchlights... which were honestly quite pathetic, they are just a clear insert illuminated by an LED, so they don't actually give off any light.
Despite these minor shortcomings, overall as a nicely poseable killer robot it was worth the money. These, as far as I know, never made it to brick and mortar retail as the toy line got cancelled before the second wave was released. I got mine off Ebay for I think $30 US shipped, and this was a year ago, and now they are going for around $45 US shipped on Ebay, still not bad IMHO.
I think with a little work, one could easily rewire the lighting and actually have proper searchlights in the shoulders, as well as some of the other small things. I am still on the fence as to if I'm going to bother.
