Awesome Robots

Available only in May, this Jimiyo t-shirt is overflowing with awesome: Darth Vader, Terminator, Freddie Krueger and the Predator serve as the ultimate horsemen of the apocalypse.

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.

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.

The extended trailer for Terminator: Salvation features new dialogue, mostly between Sam Worthington and Anton Yelchin; it also includes Christian Bale’s familiar running monologue.

Most game adaptations of movies are poor, but this Transformers: RotF trailer is actually pretty decent; if they transform like that in-game, we’re sold. PS: watch it all the way through!

Like a real caddy but minus the grumbling, Shadow Caddy is a robotic cart that follows you via a transmitter on your belt; object detection prevents collisions with objects and other golfers.

Say what you will about the plot, but nothing short of Unicron is going to stop us from watching Transformers 2 after this latest trailer; giant swirling blades of death at 2:15 FTW.

FineTuneGolf’s RoboCup makes practice putting infinitely easier: simply place it in a cup up to 14 feet away, and it’ll return your golf balls over 15,000 times on 4 AA batteries.

Conquer the beaches with hordes of KicCrab Walkers, available as a kit; you won’t do too much world domination since it’s programmable in BASIC, but they sure can dance up a storm.

Thanks to Ain’t It Cool News, check out Playmates’ entire stash of Terminator: Salvation toys; everything from light-up T-600 skulls to John Connor figures will hit store shelves 4/19.

The union of a dragon cutout and an Arduino tracked platform, Puff is designed put out fires with puffs of air; he even has a panic mode that makes him flee after too many failed attempts.

In contrast to the intro, this Terminator: Salvation’s 2016 trailer is pure gameplay but is surprisingly effective at getting the heart rate up with combat scenes in a shattered Los Angeles.

Looking like something straight out of Supreme Commander, this Olympus Defense Mecha is pure LEGO awesomeness, from the back-mounted cannon to its fleet of mini Mechas.

Terminate Yourself gives everyone the chance to turn themselves into a cyborg killing machine; we also found it to be surprisingly useful in explaining a lot about certain celebrities.

For all you WALL-E lovers out there: your favorite robot has been cast into a fantastically detailed computer case, complete with meticulous step by step instructions. Thanks, IceBone!

Forget humanity’s survival: gear up for an assault on your wallets with this Terminator Salvation card set; it’ll include 90 base cards and random embossed foil and pop-up battle cards.

Based off of the Jesus lizard, this Water Runner Robot is designed to move across the surface of water thanks to large, disc-shaped feet; next up: steering, and then world domination.

Looks like we’ll be piloting BattleMechs soon: Honda has developed a brain-machine interface (BMI) that uses blood flow and electrical potential to control an ASIMO robot. Thanks, Sonic!

Fans of the first Matrix, it’s time to choose: The Matrix 10th Anniversary includes the movie on Blu-ray, a 37 page book, and numerous commentaries, featurettes and trailers.

Incredibly grotesque yet awe-inspiring, Kenji Yanobe’s Giant Torayan robot is a 24 foot tall robo-baby sculpture that breathes fire and sings; it’s on display in Tokyo’s Roppongi district.

The jury’s still out as far as Terminator: Salvation’s actual gameplay is concerned, but we’re digging the intro cinematic above; it shows the player evading numerous HK-aircraft.

Hakodate is likely the first city to destroy itself in an effort to attract tourists: giant robots and squid battle fleets annihilate whole city blocks in the hilariously epic video above.

Just because you like robots doesn’t mean you have to shout it to the world: this Halftone Robot t-shirt is printed with a subtle dotted pattern that looks cool without being flashy.
