Robot Domination Countdown: Transformers Movie in 195 days!

Just 7 more months until the Transformers Movie launches. Here is the new trailer!


Bumble Bee looks very evil for the "good guy" lovable bug (now a Concept Camero) that we all grew up with and what is with Optimus Prime having a standard semi tractor front end and a flame paint job? WTF??? But everything else looks pretty good in my opinion.

Robot Domination Countdown: Bartender, Make it a Double!

Not that I want to beat a dead horse on the alcohol serving robots, but there are plenty of dead horses in the room and I loves-me some bartending bots!

Apparently, Number 5 really is alive, and now Jonny has to get a job cause Stephanie got tired of him looking at her "Software" and kicked his Saturday-Night-Fever-dancin' John-Wayne-talkin' free-loadin'-laser-totin'-robot ass out on the street. It took him only 6 weeks at Minnesota Bartending Academy and he got his license and a gig and now earns tax evadable cash in "the fun and exciting world of bartending". Click on the vid to see who might be helping you drown your sorrows in the future. Coming to a pub near you.

Robot Domination Countdown: PBRMEASAP

Finally a truly useful robot. All I have to say is, "It's about frickin' time!" Everyone has been building these home vacuum robots and life saving military combat robots. They kept completely missing the most important needs of man kind. No speakers required as I think it is saying profanities in Japanese, but who would know?

Robot Domination Countdown: Transformers in 368 days; Global-domination-human-enslavement in 4018 days

Some of you know that I have a fascination for robotics. I read more about robots than I build or buy them, as I only own one robot, (a Wowwee Robosapien V2), but I’m certain I have figured out where this obsession was conceived. Transformers! When I was a kid, this was my Pokemon, my Harry Potter, and my Gameboy. Transformers… robots in disguise; it does not get much better than that for a guy who loves cars and loves robots. Well, we’ve all grown-up now, so I guess that means Transformers are all grown-up too and they are making a live action movie that is showing some real maturity. What’s more interesting is that it is a Michael Bay movie; remember the intense sequences of Pearl Harbor, The Rock, and Armageddon? Or how about the insane car chases in Bad Boys and Bad Boys II? This will not be a kids' movie; this will be a grown-up kid's movie. Only 368 days until its release; I know I already have my $13.50 for a movie ticket sitting in an envelop tucked away for 7-4-07.

Here are some links to more information and the teasers.
