The winner will receive a life-size, full-metal replica of the game's Screamer junk robot. The "9-foot tall, 1700lb behemoth" has been custom made from over 500 pieces of steel and scrap metal and serves as a fully functioning demo station for the game, complete with five working LCD screens.
Also included is a special limited edition steel canister, branded whisky glasses, a T-shirt, stickers, pins and three copies of the game.
"The four charities officially partnered with the campaign are Special Effect in the UK, Able Gamers in the US, Gaming Aid in Germany and Make a Wish in France. Each of these charities does exceptional work towards helping those living with a disability, harness the power of video games to improve quality of life and find new ways to enjoy their favourite past time.

"The auction starts today at £5,000 and is open to buyers in Europe, Japan and North America and will last for ten days. For any bids exceeding the opening figure 70% of the final sale price will be committed and split between the four charities."

Those wishing to do their bit for charity by purchasing a giant robot can check out the listing on eBay.

If you're looking for something a little more modest, the Steel Rats Deluxe Edition is now available to pre-order at the discounted price of £15.99 (or £13.59 for PlayStation Plus members). At launch, the standard edition will retail at £15.99 and the Deluxe Edition will be priced at £18.99.

Steel Rats launches 7 November on Xbox One, PS4 and Steam. Keep 'em peeled for our review and your chance to win a copy in an upcoming giveaway.
