Meet
ROBOSAURUS, a 40-foot tall 30-ton mechanical dinosaur which offers
promoters and sponsors monstrous marketing benefits via huge gates and widespread
media exposure. This Hollywood-style spectacle is produced by Monster Robots,
Inc., an innovative firm which combines cutting edge technology, special effects,
and a professional entertainment production team.
ROBOSAURUS has thrilled crowds at a variety of venues including motor sports events, festivals and air shows. Its credits include appearances at Universal Studios Florida theme park, exposure on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, ESPN cable sports network, a date with Super Dave and a starring role in an NBC movie, "STEEL JUSTICE," which was also produced by Monster Robots, Inc. and Universal Studios. Most recently Robosaurus has filmed two movies scheduled for release in 2000 - "Waking Up in Reno" starring Billy Bob Thornton, Patrick Swayze, Thereza Therone and Natasha Richardson and "The Recycler" starring Hank Williams Jr.
Billed as The First REAL Superhero, ROBOSAURUS is a great crowd draw and a real publicity bonanza. As a Headline attraction ROBO has broken attendance records at venues such as The Superdome in New Orleans, The Kingdome in Seattle and other airshows and motorsports events across the country.
ROBOSAURUS is action at its most exciting. The crowd feels the heat of 20-foot flames shooting from giant nostrils and hears the sound of crunching jaws and tearing metal as the towering beast roars into action to defend the world from modern-day criminals and environmental terrors by devouring drug smuggling planes or gas guzzling cars.
Exciting sponsorship opportunities range from image-enhancing tie-ins with a social or environmental message to market-enhancing product tie-ins. The monster appeals to all age groups; adults are fascinated by the computerized beastŐs technology-children by its "Superhero" characterization.
Commercial opportunities such as official food, beverage or other product status are built-in. ROROSAURUS was designed so its wrists can turn to simulate drinking from a container where the beverage cans are 50 gallon drums. In one creative "taste" test" scenario, Robo tastes each brand, then roars and crushes the losing brandŐs can.
Monster target marketing opportunities exist, for example, with fans of motor sports, air shows, hydroplane races and other motor-oriented events, the largest spectator audience in the U.S.. The unique marketing attribute of ROBOSAURUS is that he is not limited to a limited genre of entertainment venue. ROBO can perform at a motorsports event at the Astrodome one weekend and be in the "Rose Parade" the next.
A wide range of sponsor benefits packages includes signage and logos, product awareness via massive media exposure, product promotion and custom sponsorship packages. A recent grocery chain sponsor enjoyed a 15 % increase in store traffic for six weeks due to an event promotion centered on ROBOSAURUS.
Monster Robots, Inc. was formed in l988, when its founders combined creative, professional and entrepreneurial backgrounds in business, aerospace engineering and special effects production to create a unique, experienced and expert monster management team.
ROBOSAURUS was created as a showpiece of state-of-the-art hydraulic, electrical and mechanical technology. The firm spent two years developing and building it in affiliation with more than 30 high-tech companies like Parker-Hannifin, an international hydraulics corporation and the project's major sponsor.
ROBOSAURUS in conjunction with "The Portland Rose Festival" was the winner of the "1995 International Festivals and Events Association's Pinnacle Award for: MOST CREATIVE/EFFECTIVE NEWS STUNT".
"Our object is to present large than life entertainment," said Mark Hays, President of Monster Robots, Inc. "This unit is the ultimate in audience involvement and entertainment. ROBO really blows people away, and its marketing potential is tremendous!"
