About: These robots make multiple appearances in the Marvel Comics universe, most often in the X-men series. Now, I do not profess to be an expert in the countless story lines they have been apart of, but I can tell you this: these robots are not good. They are most often used to hunt down mutants.How to spot them: They are three stories tall and ultra-destructive. They can also fly.When you

What good would this blog truly be without providing you with tips for protection against robots? Today's tip is about water. Most modern robots, except the underwater-type robots, are dependent upon electricity. They also have all sorts of delicate stuff inside, not unlike your laptop or desktop computer. Now, as this incredibly lame video can attest to, modern electronic devises can survive

Robot bartenders. There are quite a few prototypes out there. Die Robots! will submit a battle between these atrocities and their human counterparts in celebration of Happy Hour Mondays. Because if any day needs a happy hour, it's Monday.Try not to be enticed by the sweet soundtrack, this robot is out to get you. Sure, I could go on the old "taking a fleshies job" rant, but really, this thing is

Too tired to post. Tons of content tomorrow. Need to clean apartment and don't have a roomba.

In honor of Independence Day, Die Robots! has selected a couple of YouTube clips. The first is of the 2010 Ford Mustang assembly line. As you can see in the video, it is very human friendly, and the car is near the end of the production line (This is a Ford approved clip, notice they chose not to show the engine being built or the frame being spot-welded).The second video is longer, but kind of

Japan has unleashed a life-size Gundam robot. It existence has spawned the poll available on the right. Now while Japan is clearly making rapid strides in robotics, the United States has been just as active. Since we are not sure who the primary threat is, we are sending the question your way. On one hand, the U.S. seems focused on robots that are clearly lethal for military purposes. Japan

Watch the trailer for Surrogates, one of many films that is/will be based on a graphic novel. It seems like Hollywood has become very comfortable taking advantage of these pre-story boarded writings. This one by Rob Venditti, a survivor of the Florida State University System, is focused on a future where humans can live life through robotic puppets. However, as I am sure you imagined, things go

These posts will typically be reserved for Fridays, but since it is a holiday weekend, many people might not be at work tomorrow. So, here you go, enjoy the vid.This human is a master of disguise. He might be able to help us topple the future robot oppression.

(Note: The video's poster gets a little text crazy at 1:59 if you are offended by four-letter words and 80s cartoon theme songs)The King of Pop's affinity for robotkind was revealed to a great extent in this oh-so-symbolic clip from his 1988 film Moonwalker. Jackson was clearly obsessed with cultural icons adored by other grown-up children (Pirates with Peter Pan, zombies/monsters with Thriller,

Hate to do it, but need to chime in on this Transformers thing that has everyone all hot and bothered to the tune of over $200 million in five days ($214m through Monday). Now I know that, as humans, we are imperfect. Chief among those imperfections is the willingness to return to movie theaters for a sequel en masse, even if it is a follow-up to an average movie. This held true with a certain

It is easy—particularly on a Wednesday—to be overwhelmed by the reality that our species is willingly paving the way for robotic domination. But there is hope. Every Hump Day, Die Robots! will share the story of a hero in the battle against Robotkind.For the inaugural Hump Day Hero, there is no better person to celebrate than Magnus, Robot Fighter. The story is set in the year 4000, when mankind

The abomination above is the University of Bristol's Chewing Robot, a robot designed to replicate the complex human chewing motion so scientists can study the effects of wear and tear on different materials used to restore missing teeth. This contraption makes it first public appearance (God forbid anything goes awry) at the Royal Society Summer Exhibition in London.Sure, it is easy to say that

Sorry, is this a joke? This robot not only proves what a waste of valuable human time they can be, but how dangerous they are.Should people really be spending resources developing a chair that falls apart and fixes itself? How much did you spend on that? If you made a chair out of wood, there is a good chance that it wouldn't randomly crumble beneath you.And this invention now presents us with

This is, far and away, the most annoying machine ever devised. Sure, it might not qualify as a robot, but it is just as dangerous and cruel as one.1. This machine is taking the job of a human being, no matter how trivial/unwanted that job may appear. People pay for college or keep the lights on by standing there and scanning your goods.2. The companies that employ these beasts are passing the

Hate to break the news to you, emotional robot but the same bad luck happens to surrogate and adopted kids. You get no sympathy from me.

I'm sick of robots taking over the world. These are the most threatening. Well, not the one in this image, it's just a replica of a robot.
