From guns concealed in crutches and furniture to dinosaur bones, "Pawn Stars" has featured it all. But one of the most unexpected things on the show was a gigantic fire-spitting robotic dinosaur. It was spotted by Corey Harrison after Chumlee brought the item to his attention. Harrison seemed impressed by it, but when the seller asked for a million dollars, the deal was off the table.

Turns out that Chumlee had told Harrison that this was something the shop must have, but did not tell him what it was. When he saw the giant robot for the first time, he was confused about what it was. “This is Robosaurus,” the seller said, who also had a pilot with him. “It’s our 31-ton 45-foot…basically a transformer that eats cars, eats airplanes.” Harrison was clear that he did not want it anywhere near his motorbike.

The Robosaurus was created by Monster Roberts Inc. in 2020 for a whopping $2.2 million over a period of two years. It had claws that exerted a ridiculous amount of force, and it had sharp teeth that did the same. All in all, it was something straight out of a sci-fi movie. However, there was no way Harrison could get it and keep it in the pawn shop.

“I don’t know what my idiot friend told you, but I just own a pawn shop. I mean…you can’t really expect me to buy this thing,” he said. However, the seller said, “It’s a money-making machine. It can be rented out, it can be leased out, and it can do special events. It can do bar mitzvahs. It can do giant demolition derbies. $25,000 a day you can make from this thing if you put it on the road.”

Turns out that Robosaurus is powered by a 500 hp diesel engine, and also has a couple of propane tanks for the fire. The pilot got in the cockpit and absolutely decimated a car while shooting fire from the nose.

It was a spectacle to behold. Harrison was impressed with what he saw and asked how much the seller wanted for it. “We can do a bargain today for one million dollars,” the owner said. Harrison was stunned after hearing this. He was absolutely certain that this would end up bankrupting the store and told the seller that it was out of his budget by a lot.
