It’s a digger for strip mining coal (German machine) in the process of being moved from one mine to another. Saw it on television, even more awesome close up.

hey heres the weird thing on wikipedia you type the name in. translate it to english its called a but in german. lol germans make badass mining equipment
Shut up, loser. Americans literally won the right to call anything “german”, anything we like. You don’t like that fact, win the right back. Until then:
Schinzel and f**k you!
what are you talking? If you are refering to WWII, then it was Soviet Union, who actually fought the decisive battles. When USA sent forces to Europe, Wermacht was already been retreating for a year
Ridiculous the notion. Spoken like a child who works for the fox news network and only tells part of the story. BTW, what other war did we defeat Germany in since you appear to be confused about which war I was speaking of?
He was right indeed… The USSR did all the fighting in Europe while the USA was distracted by that little bugger called Japan… Remember Pearl Harbor, right?
And for your information, the USA (and allies) actually DID beat Germany (and allies) in the first world war. Ever wondered why the second world war is called the SECOND world war?
yup america and allies. Thats the point, this one nation that back than had less than 70 million people has always been competing against hundreds of million allied enemies. We lost the wars, that true. But damn we were efficient at it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:WorldWarII-DeathsByAlliance-Piechart.png
Actually America joined WWI right at the end. ‘Ooh, let’s be part of the victors!’ was the basic catchphrase.
In WWII, America putzed about while the Soviets did the brunt of the fighting. Germany pretty much singlehandedly held out against ridiculous odds for years. Although it is true that without the support of BRITAIN, Russia would have been in much more trouble. And without the support of American industrial output.
Really, America’s main influence in both wars was through being cheap labour for its European allies’ material needs.
actually amerika was the deciding factor in ww1. Germany was severly worn down. we would’ve won in ww1 after the russians left but the u.s reinstated the stalemate
Yes, the US was more concentrated on Japan, but we also handled the little force of Italy (in part), while the UK and Soviet Union were concentrated on the European Super-Power (of that time) called Nazi Germany.
you seam to have forgotten the Battle of the Bulge and other such battles
the Americans let the Soviets take Berlin
Americans were not simply dealing with Japan (remember Normandy? Does Eisenhower ring a bell? guess what he was American)
Damn u americans are not only ignorant but you alsothink u can get away with it … look how far it has brought u ..u got big on our backs with the marshal loans and stealing our intelligentia but now… on ur way back to the slums…you still loudmouth…cant u see? it s all over because of generation after generation of inbred hicks like u.
im sick of this american ignorance as well. stealing inventions an titles from other nations. and ww1 was not a loss for Deutschland. the “allies” never stepped foot in Germany except for when the russians invaded early on. and the got pushed very far back. America has never won a war on its own. Germany fought EVERY MAJOR POWER and fought well. the rest of the world still trys to stay on our good side as when it comes to tech and tactics we cant be beat. only the superiority in numbers saved the allies.
America has finished wars started by Europeans, and america has never declared war against another country since Korea. Saying that only Russia defeated Germany is ignorant and stupid. With out America coming in to fight with the Allies in WW1 and 2 Europe would’ve been overrun with Nazis. WW1 wasn’t really Germany’s war, it was Austria-Hungary’s. I do agree that in WW2 the Nazi’s did fight hard and held out, but as soon as america came in, they lost. No one country has really won on its own. Everyone has alliances for a reason, hell, even Nazi Germany had one with italy and japan. Singling out america is also ignorant and stupid. America has stolen inventions, or those inventors came over to america. We haven’t stolen many inventions, the people from other countries that made them came over here.
in ww1, Germany would’ve won had it not been for americans coming and bringing back the stalemate. and our government was fine back then. in ww2 it was the entire coalition taking us down. with any one or two of you we would’ve won but all at once was impossible. and the last time the u.s declared war was ww2
“WWI was not a loss for Deutschland.” Sehr komisch! I’m glad to see that the “Dolchstoss” theory is still alive and well. I thought it had died by now.
I think he was trying to type the German word for “sh*t” which is something I have no idea how to spell and am too lazy to look up at the moment so I’m not even going to attempt.
comeon lets keep it real, u can say about us germans whatever u want but one thing is for sure, our machinery is running this world. No nation exports nearly as many machines as the germans. You just gotta give us that one. You can keep the worldrecord for consuming, we’re happy with the one for producing, thank you very much.
I’m American and I do agree on that, Germans make good stuff. Too many people seem to argue which country is better, but they each do their own individual part, so in a way, they’re all equal.
No, it’s not in any of the movies. However, a Mini-Con from Transformers: Armada was based off of one of these machines (I actually have that one, for the record, so it is real).
I’ve seen sh*tloads of VD posters with “your argument is invalid” in the caption & it’s variants EG “your arugment” or your Agrument etc. It’s a cliche & it’s not clever nor is it funny anymore. GET OVER YOURSELF.
Yes he does, because you may miss seeing his name in the required “Name” field, and then you might not realize you should begin heaping praise his way for his wit.
Bucket Wheels: Being more awesome than anything else you can build since inception. (They’re the largest class of vehicles in the world, by a significant margin.)
Germany has a couple that mine semi-hard rock, too. Stuff that’s harder than coal but softer than granite. Only works in Germany because they’re the only ones with maintenance people good/stubborn enough to make it work (and honestly I don’t know if it’s talent or stubborness that does it).
Anyone seen the photo of one of these with a dozer sitting on its conveyor? It’s happened at least once, though I haven’t seen the photo outside of lecture halls (and being a mining engineering student, yes, I get classes that have photos of such things).
It’s called a Bagger 288 Excavator mainly used to dig up coal and other mining stuff. Don’t know what country it’s in I really don’t care either it’s big sucks up money and resources and man power hmm… It’s probably in Europe, or Russia, probably Russia
We do have such ‘scary’ ones in Australia. In fact, that picture is incredibly similar to pictures of the dredge they moved across the Princess Highway in the Latrobe Valley in the late 1980′s. They’re fun to climb on
A similar altmode was used for the Transformer toy Metroplex in the Cybertron line (aka Megalo Convoy in Japan). It’s got the same giant digging wheel sticking out of the front, anyway.
its nice to know there are other people who see potential robots when they see heavy machinery. im always like Decepticon! and pointing at a bulldozer or sumthin XD
Thats actually the largest mining machine in the world. what looks like a saw is buckets bigger than 3 behemoths trucks. that machine is worth over 950 million dollars
A bucket-wheel excavator! (It’s a bucket-wheel, not a saw!)
The biggest vehicles on earth! I grew up near Garzweiler (Germany, near Cologne), where Bagger 288 is digging coal. It’s the biggest there is with Bagger 293 (Hambach, Germany). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagger_288
Standing right next to one is awe-inspiring, they’re nearly 100m high and 300m long. Never felt so tiny and insignificant.
Ich saw such a thing pretty close while it moved from a mine to another close to my home…
you feel like a ant besides a man if your close to this machine
they use this thing to constantly mine coal and immediately conveyor belt feed it into a fire… the coal and dirt and whatever else they dig up… its called brown coal and its twice as bad for the environment as refined coal but it doesnt use as much electricity and truck fuel to process so they claim it’s cleaner for the environment… such a farce.
These would be so awesome in a movie! Also, it’s a digger, not a cutter. But if it WAS a saw thing, and it WAS in a movie,And if it could talk, i’ think it would go:you son of a *starts saw* BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
It’s a digger for strip mining coal (German machine) in the process of being moved from one mine to another. Saw it on television, even more awesome close up.

Never have I been so proud to be German.

They have one of those on UT3, it looks badass.
also in black ops
True
It’s called a Bagger 288. See it’s greatness here:

You Germans do know that other nations build and use and transport these things too, right? It’s not exclusive to Germany.

you are correct about WWI
You make being an American embarrassing, you’re kind of like an online Obama.
You know that the one who fought the WW2 were the Nazi’s and the country called Germany today might be the most nazi free country in the whole world.
WWI,we helped the Brits and everyone else and Germany was so friggin scared they surrendured after forcing them to retreat.
u know that germany surrender in WW1, because a revolution started not they are forced to retreat

With spelling like that, I think you made the US look better.
Personally, I think the Germans redeemed themselves when they came up with Staplerfahrer Klaus.
Also, all those awesome board games. They totally kick our board games’ asses.
i live in berlin
i hate this horror machine
when the 3rd nuclear armageddon comes the thing will be wiped out from this planet with us

I think he was trying to type the German word for “sh*t” which is something I have no idea how to spell and am too lazy to look up at the moment so I’m not even going to attempt.

Germany does make good stuff. Heck even my US Army ceremonial sword was made by WKC in Germany.
Too bad the Nasa Crawler is even bigger. At 6000 tons with 4 1600 horsepower engines.
Is that in transformers? I think its one of the decepticons.
naw its not in any of the movies, but ill be damned if i miss that thing in action if it is.
No, it’s not in any of the movies. However, a Mini-Con from Transformers: Armada was based off of one of these machines (I actually have that one, for the record, so it is real).

A giant saw thing for asses? Or a saw thing for giant asses? How do you know it’s for asses at all?!
Man, that’s the biggest colonic irrigator I’ve ever seen.
As Pynchon explained years ago, “ass” is an intensifier.
Technically it should have a hyphen. The word it intensifies is indicated by the word the hyphen appends it to.
It’s called a Bagger 288 Excavator mainly used to dig up coal and other mining stuff. Don’t know what country it’s in I really don’t care either it’s big sucks up money and resources and man power hmm… It’s probably in Europe, or Russia, probably Russia
Its in Germany, i dont live far from there where they are used.
But they are too expensive in their maintenance and will soon be taken out of use.
DECEPTICON!!!
that would be a ridiculous transformer
Thats the same model they used for a location in the game Borderlands
thats the first thing i though of 2… and transformers
The first thing i thought of was “damn – those zombies will sh*t themselves” Haha
Finaly, someone noticed!
Here is a little song about BAGGER 288! Enjoy ^^
http://www.rathergood.com/bagger288
hmmm….Micheal Bay will get his plot from this pic for Transformers 3: Rise of that thing…
We got tonnes of those things in Australia, not sure if we have any quite as scary though =(
Its the thing they use to cut your dog’s balls of at the vet.
We do have such ‘scary’ ones in Australia. In fact, that picture is incredibly similar to pictures of the dredge they moved across the Princess Highway in the Latrobe Valley in the late 1980′s. They’re fun to climb on
landscape rape FTW!
This thing deserves more comment
that looks like the saw thing that dude is rideing in the salt flats in borderlands.
Replacement Caption:
This is for all the kids who f***ed with you in Highschool.
It’s a Bucketwheel. It was used at Syncrude, an oil sand refinery, in Fort McMurray, Alberta. It’s kind of a tourist attraction now.
A similar altmode was used for the Transformer toy Metroplex in the Cybertron line (aka Megalo Convoy in Japan). It’s got the same giant digging wheel sticking out of the front, anyway.
His name is Metroplex, I had actually always wondered what a real one looked like :p

how is james bond going to get out of this one?
HOLY S**T! My thoughts exactly!
haha those were my first thots exactly! that would most certainly be the biggest bot evar, we can only hope they include one in the 3rd movie
hey, its my penis!
If that’s a robot in Transformers 3, it doesn’t matter how bad the rest of the movie sucks: This will be epic.
its nice to know there are other people who see potential robots when they see heavy machinery. im always like Decepticon! and pointing at a bulldozer or sumthin XD
Thats actually the largest mining machine in the world. what looks like a saw is buckets bigger than 3 behemoths trucks. that machine is worth over 950 million dollars
It costs $100 million to manufacture…
Haha awesome Orky Stompa XD XD
Needs more dakka.
its a dredger used for coal mining, there slow as s**t!
hey! i saw a video of this machine working
its really amazing
i saw that thing in borderlands!
The first thing I thought of was doomsday device.
hey i live half an hours drive from one of those things
hasnt been used for years. bloody coal dried up
lol shows how effective they are dosnt it
the giant ass saw thing makes it to a movie! and it really is a saw in that version haha
see 2:23
Might be the best zombie killing wepon out there.

This giant ass saw thing is now diamonds.

it makes me want to get a mechanical engineering degree just to intern on the project
BORDERLANDS LOL
Your all wrong this is from borderlands
OMFG! ID S**T BRICKS IF I EVER SAW THAT THING IN REAL LIFE!
it can’t be from borderlands if this picture was here before borderlands also this is the engineer update
They need it to cut Chuck Norris’s Birthday cake.
And here I thought that thing in borderlands was some weird ass futuristic s**t. I officially want one.
Ich saw such a thing pretty close while it moved from a mine to another close to my home…
you feel like a ant besides a man if your close to this machine
It’s German? Must have been used on the Jews then. stupid germans.
they use this thing to constantly mine coal and immediately conveyor belt feed it into a fire… the coal and dirt and whatever else they dig up… its called brown coal and its twice as bad for the environment as refined coal but it doesnt use as much electricity and truck fuel to process so they claim it’s cleaner for the environment… such a farce.
these things are featured in the map Radiation on Black Ops, although as the name suggests they’re probably digging up uranium instead of coal
That thing is epicness put into an object.
This thing was in Borderlands as far as I know. Look like a Lv.4 sentry (as someone has stated before)
“Sentry goin’ up, down, dammit, gotta move that gear up! This-thing-ain’t-on-autopilot! Dammit!” – Erectin’ a Boom
