Congratulations to us all. We still live despite all of the metal predators that are being built and programmed everyday. Let’s give ourselves a big pat on the back and then promptly begin building robot holocaust shelters. This week over at Botropolis we did the usual. We saw toys we love, bots we fear, some shirts we really would like to wear before the end…. Here’s some of what we covered this week.

Conspiracies: Secret US Military Autonomous Robot Project Spotted?

Terminator 3: Funny deleted scene.

RC Bats: Bots gone batty.

C3P-0: Straight Or Gay? (NSFW).

Never one to miss out on taking a geek’s money, Mimobot has introduced the new batch of Star Wars flash drives. Choose between the elongated forms of C-3PO, Wicket the Ewok, Imperial Guard and Emperor Palpatine.

They’ll keep your data safe and are even said to be durable enough to withstand the digestive juices of the creature in the Sarlacc pit. Is it just me or does C-3PO look a bit like a fish? These are all well and good, but what I really want is the ships. Boba Fett’s Slave I, the Falcon. Who’s with me?
