Comment by Kara on January 23, 2009 at 11:30pm: the only one that looks totally real is the first one. The rest are still crazy awesome though.

Comment by Will on January 23, 2009 at 3:22pm: I read this article a little while back which talked about the human revulsion to things as they become more human-like. Yes, it was a geeky article about robots. Anyway, when you take, for instance, a bear and you make it look more human, humans have a positive reaction to it and think it's cute. BUT, there's a certain plateau where if it becomes too human-like, we experience a revulsion to it... like computer graphics, sex dolls, and ultra-realistic robotic ninja assassins.

@Eugene: the guy with the screws is supposed to be Peter Weller, playing Alex J. Murphy aka Robocop. I'd buy that for a dollar.
