Rock out to the Pacific Rim Main Theme Played by Singing Tesla Coils and a Robot

The Pacific Rim Main Theme has reached its ultimate form in being performed by a robot with singing tesla coils. We can think of no better treatment for the score of a movie about giant fighting robots than being played by a creepy robot drummer and humming Tesla coils. We also can’t think of a better way to play any music at all.

Not impressed? Why not watch a member of Arc Attack control the Tesla coils with gestures using an Xbox Kinect? It basically makes him look like some kind of super villain — and it’s also way cooler than any super villain effects we’ve seen in movies and/or trailers recently… (Yeah, we’re looking at you, Amazing Spider-Man 2.)
