Where's WALL-E?

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Thanks. Now if 75% of the TF fanbase could lose their ignorance as well...

Jonny 5 is top left, next to the Terminator and behind robot Bill & Ted.

ED 209 top right, his left hand next to that **** Wheelie's head.

Can't see Robocop.

According to the artist, Robocop isn't there because he's an "augmented human"(Link to the thread.). I wouldn't have used that term, but I see his point. Add Robocop and you might as well add Motoko Kusanagi and Inspector Gadget.

A few of the robots I want to point out:
The robot from Flubber
Goddard from Jimmy Neutron
Tachikoma
The robot from the Judge Dredd movie
Robot Jones
X-J9
The Humping Robot
Robot Boy
XR from Buzz Lightyear of Star Command
Haro
H.E.R.B.I.E.
Bad Robot
The robot Cat and Mouse from Tom and Jerry
Larry 3000
X-5 from Atomic Betty


There's a few more obscures I recognize but can't quite name. I'm surprised the artist actually remembered some of these.

Or do one big poo in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I bet they weren't even excited by and then subsequently disappointed by Star Wars Prequels. Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

They picked Wheelie for TF and Alpha from PR... maybe next time when there's a giant robots version.

Major props just for Analyser, the head from Lexx and Ms "it's programmed to go off before you do". Was Astroboy too recognisable to be in there?

That's an ABC Warrior. Your homework is to read some of the classic 2000 AD stories they appeared in.

"Robot from the Judge Dredd movie..." And you were doing so well. ;)

Yeah, love that the Owl's there. Though I'm having an OCD attack about the guy he's perched on - I recognise him but can't place what/who he is.

Is Astroboy more recognisable out there than the Terminator or a Dalek? Genuine question.

Boobow!

V.I.N.C.E.N.T's there in the front.

The nasty red guy is Maximillian. The most badass robot ever to grace film.

They left out Ultraman, but Jet Jaguar somehow made the cut.

Are those bots from Mystery Science Theatre in there somewhere?
"But the Costa story featuring Starscream? Fantastic! This guy is "The One", I just know it, just from these few pages. "--Yaya, who is never wrong.

All the Ultraman are giant alien lifeforms. I think Jet Jaguar had to be built by humans or something.

Quite. Much more than the Daleks at least.

Other favourites include the DRD, the Dominator from Who, Evil Edna, both Marvins and the Scutter. Awh.
