J!NX’s Robots are Metal t-shirt is a double entendre that goes out to all our laser sword wielding, energon consuming, Jedi-assisting buddies; just don’t go all The Matrix on us, okay?

Optimus Prime Ring

Curiosity killed the cat, or in this case, the robot: Luke Randall’s Reach is about a cute, waddling robot (WALL-E, anyone?) and its ill-advised battles with its tragically short power cord.

Croww 540 Robot

Croww 540 Robot

It looks like a droideka but this Croww 540 robot is purely benevolent; it not only acts as a pack mule that can traverse both sand and ice but provides shelter in the form of a retractable tent.
