Supreme Commander 2 shows off its gameplay with two Battle trailers (1, 2), but most significant is that it now has (some) personality: they’ve added characters and dialog a-la Starcraft.
Build your own weapon of legged destruction with these SpiderBot (Hexapod) plans on Thingiverse by Daniel Schatzmayr; his design calls for a laser cutter, wood, and 20 servos.
Aside from a few strange sign choices, Johannes Krohn’s Alien Assault t-shirt is an exercise in 8-bit isometric awesomeness with giant robots, laser beams, and hapless humans.
If you liked Parrot’s AR.Drone, build your own using Arduino; Paul Rene’s aptly-named Quaduino features four rotors, pitch/roll//yaw controls, a compass, barometer, and accelerometer.
The Transformers: War for Cybertron video we teased last month? It’s back as a two minute trailer and it’s utterly awesome: Optimus and Megatron: “One shall stand…one shall fall!”
From the same DJ who brought us the fantastic UPular Remix: Arnold is back in a big way with Skynet Symphonic, composed of sound clips from Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
Arnold really meant it when he’d be back: this 12″, 1:6 scale T-800 figure is a spot-on replica of the Governator in Terminator 2, complete with detachable left endoskeleton arm.
Shunichi Makin’s been busy ever since his mini-HAL 9000; he’s created not one but three super-deformed versions of Iron Man in papercraft, each with 3-4 printable PDF files.
It’ll be 2010 before we can name everything on this Science Fiction Screen Print; it’s a giant 14″x34″ poster with 61 robots, 58 aliens, and 30 icons from sci-fi film, tv, books, and games.

If you haven’t already watched it on DVD, see the full pilot episode for Caprica on SyFy or Hulu; for the uninitiated, it’s a sci-fi series that serves as a prequel to Battlestar Galactica.
We’re not sure if this SkyNet t-shirt is an exercise in cognitive dissonance or cyborg destruction; with Los Angeles the latest city to join the Cloud/Cyberdyne, it may be time to call on Connor.
