Anybody want to help me out in the comments and report if these cake toppers have actual names? From what I can tell, they’re non-specific nerdbots (as I call them) from Kid Robot or some such place. They’re rather adorable. But I don’t know what they ARE. Bride and groom robot army enthusiasts? Planet defenders? They’re ‘more’ than your average robot cake toppers, from what I can tell, but hey what do I know? (Answer: nothing.)

Copy & paste this:
They look like gundams.
They are gundams, Zaku to be exact.
Gundams and Zaku are types of mobile suits.
Those are Zaku, not Gundams. Zaku are basically front-line shock troops for the Zeon Army.
And, yes these are the super-deformed versions for extra cuteness.
oh i thought they were robot cyclopes
They are Mobile Suits from MS Gundam, or one of the shows in the Gundam series.
The cake-toppers are SD Zaku II from Gundam.
I’m not entirely sure, but I think they’re Gundams. God I am such a nerd! >.<
Otakus are considered nerds?
Otaku are über-nerds.
Although I entirely agree, I think it’d be more apt to have a Japanese affix to express the nerd level. Unfortunately, I’m just nerdy enough to think of that, but not nerdy enough to know what to use. =P
Obsessed nerds?
Otaku is the Japanese term for anyone who is extremely obsessed with something (in America it is often linked to anime, but doesn’t have to be) to the point of almost too obsessed. So Otaku is the best word to describe it. now you’re nerdy enough to know what to call people
The term you’re looking for actually IS otaku, and it’s considered deroagatory.
actually, Otaku means “troublemaker” in japanese. But is the western world Otaku is used to define “nerds”
Actually its an incredibly formal way to refer to another person. Japanese Computer/anime etc geeks use such terms to address each other due to extreme social awkwardness. They then started to use the word to refer to themselves as a group. The word has negative connotations due to the often obsessive nature of such people. In the west it usually refers to an anime/manga geek.
well the real otaku word derived from the polite form of the japanese word for house (O Taku) started for the photography enthusiasts that never leave their house besides to go hunting. then it evolves to people who are overly affectionate to their hobby, whether its gaming, anime, model kits, military, etc and yes in japan it has a very bad connotation. but in the western world anime enthusiasts used it with pride lol n shifts its meaning into nerds and or geeks
you are most correct, honorific form of someone else’s house with a sarcastic connotation that the person is so obsesses with whatever their hobby is they never leave that house
huh no it doesn’t. you’re way off
it means obsessed fan
Very true.
Uberly so
YES …
was there ever a chance they wouldn’t be?
If you want to be utterly pedantic, they’re anime geeks, but close enough.
Otaku isn’t restricted to anime geeks by the way.
The word otaku means Nerd
Yes, you are a nerd because you recognize something from one of the most popular anime of all time, something popular enough for Japan to have made a life size 59 foot replica of. It is not trendy to think you are a nerd so eff off.
Thei remember me gundam’s enemys mobilsuits, Zack.

Zaku!
IT’S A GUNDAAAAAAM!
gunDAM – that’s one ugly cake!
OMG awsomeness =^_^=
Gundam anime robots known as Zaku
they are super deformed alliance mobile suits. They are the “plucky” bad guy mobile suits that the gundam destroy en masse. The super deformed just means they have tiny bodies and huge heads
ZAKU’S
@Shinobi272: Actually they are super deformed /Zeon/ mobile suits. The Earth Sphere Alliance used GM-79′s, not Zakus.
Nonetheless, that is an awesome cake
oh yeah … sorry its been a while since ive seen the series. Thanks for pointing that out.
They are Zakos from Superior Defender Gundam Force or also known as SD Gundam Force, which aired for US in 2003 then in Japan in 2004. They look like the MS-06C Zaku II Early Production Type.
Should I stop there? Or Continue in Showing my Otaku-ness of Gundam?
Don’t worry about Heero. He’s a details oriented type of guy. XD
Ok, they are actually a pair of SD bride and groom Mobile Suit: Gundam 0083 Zaku II Units.
cartoon network aired a cartoon series featuring squatty versions of gundams like these with the toys to match
Zaku’s! This is WIN!
Actualy, these are Zeon Zakus from SD Gundam, which is arguably the WORST anime of all time. The mobile suits/Gundams were only 4 feet tall in SD Gundam, instead of 60 meters. It was quickly cancelled.
Quit gettin’ mad about cartoons.
Actually, while the SD Gundam series that aired in the US wasn’t that great, there were a number of manga, series and OVAs based around SD Gundams that was actually quite popular. They’re still seen in various 4-panel gag comics in the more serious manga.
This one is a command-type Zaku II from the original Mobile Suit Gundam (used until about 0083). The kit itself also included attachments to convert it to the high-mobility type used by Johnny Riden.
Yes, I had the kit. Yes, I’m a nerd. Stop laughing. My mom thinks I’m cool…

They look like Fraggle Rock Doozers in mecha suits.
Zaku Zaku!
MS-06 Zaku IIs from Gundam
They aren’t from the SD Gundam series, they’re just SD-style model kits.
SD Zaku’s from Mobile Suit Gundam cool cake xD
i know im a little late but all i know is its the antagonist drones from one of the gundam series… LOL nerds unite!
Thanks for letting me know, everyone! I really was confused. But now I have been shown the light. Amen!
Hehe.. Zaku wedding~
Their gundam robots, I think their called Zakuz or something like that, these are the Chibi SD versions
zakuuuuu
lol zaku wedding cake epic of epic epicness
SD Zaku II. They’re not Gundams, but show called Mobile Suit Gundam. They’ve gone through some repainting.
I can see from the previous comments that I was wrong. But to get it out there anyway, to me they looked like the main character in Halo.
LOL. I find that awesome ;D
Do you lot not read the posts of the people who have already posted? I mean, I’d have thought to myself “I know that answer, I’ll post it” then get into the comments page and think “someone else has given the answer, no point now” and go have chuckles about something else on wedinator.
also, Dan and anyone who cares: über means above or over. As in physically above. For instance, a lot of chalet villages in the Austrian Alps are named for the town they are above. Über-Lech is above the town of Lech. So saying Otaku is “above nerdy” is nonsensical.
You haven’t read much Nietzsche, have you?
The concept of something being above or beyond (or however else you want to phrase it) a concept very easily matches with the above given definitions for über. Let’s look at some examples. Already cliche by the mid 1800′s, the phrase “Onward and upward” was more relatively recently popularized through C. S. Lewis’ “The Last Battle”, the final book in the Chronicles of Narnia. Buzz LightYear (from “Toy Story”) proclaims his catch phrase “To infinity… and beyond!”, and this also is another instance of going beyond a concept’s traditional limit. I could go on-and-on, but I think I have already gone “above and beyond” the call of duty in responding to your nonsensical post. ^_~
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Zaku Wedding Cake for the win.
They are not Zaku’s! They are Zakos! (From SD Gundam Force)
My first instinct is to say “It’s a gundam!” – but then I remember that anyone who says that in the show is seconds away from being instantly vaporized with a beam cannon…
[...] Nerd Wedding Cake – wedinator [...]
ITS GUNDAMS DUH!!!
*Zap!!!*
You’ve been instantly vaporized with a beam cannon…
(;
negatory, those are not “gundams” ;] they are mobile suits
its warhammer
This is why you never ask people to answer a question on the net. You inevitably get your question answered 80,000,000 times
Love the title of the pic! =)
Why?
Its a solar powered outdoor accent light!
boyfriend says it’s battlestar gallactica
Not only are they Zaku Gundams but they are the most kick ass cake toppers!
Aww I want those on my wedding cake. And to be married underneath the giant life sized gundam in Japan! >Massive Gundam geek!<
If you have a manufacturing plant, should be extremely careful with your choice of outdoor lighting and reflectors powerful. dim lights outdoors can pose serious problems in a production unit and therefore a good option to choose the LED with the right kind of fixtures.In if you need for your outdoor lighting display with banners and signs, and once plus you can choose to sign with LED bulbs.
Smoka moar crack
so anyone think that they might be gundams? I mean I’m not really sure if anyone mentioned that they might be gundams. I just could not find any comments at all in this that they might be gundams.
My brother and I own some gundams.
Are they very small & available as cake-top decorations? XD
IT’S A GUN-DUUUUUUM!!!
GUNDAMS!!!!!!!!! I love gundams… but couldn’t they have chosen a better series, like oh say, wing? You know Shinigami or Sandstorm would look awesome on top of a cake. God, I’m such a nerd…
Your preferences matter to people who don’t know you and don’t care about your taste in cartoons. Whine more and they might get a divorce so they can satisfy you!
zomg chibi zakus!
Metroid anyone? That looks like Samus’s suit.
