Giant Fucking Robots

I like robots. The bigger the robot, the better. The more mayhem and confusion they cause, better again. The more ridiculous the place the robot is, nirvana. To that end, egged on by a suitably demented friend who acts like a big talkative girl on the phone (hi Steve), I have placed giant fucking robots in my photos, 'cause..you know..I can.

You can also view them here at my Flickr page and leave comments if you wish. You might find a few pics there that haven't made it over here yet.

And don't complain if you see a Giant Fucking Godzilla picture from time to time. He's been kicking arse and chewing gum for so long he's earned the right to be where ever the hell he wants to. Besides, it's my damn page. I do what I want. That's how I roll. Now excuse me, I gotta go cook dinner for the wife and kids.

"I swear I didn't steal the stapler! Oh come on, man! Everyone does it!"

Frenzy, on his way to visit Bumblebee for lunch, got off on the wrong floor and saw General Grievous being escorted from the building for stealing office supplies.

"KILL! CRUSH! DESTR....oh my, is that genuine gingerbread style fretwork? Nice!"

Moonee Ponds comes under attack from Starscream, who stops to discuss the finer points of renovating a California Bungalow to the original specs with the residents before laying waste to the suburb after a disagreement over the colour green.

"The fence was already like that. Why? You wanna make something of it?"

Optimus was not impressing his neighbours with his youthful hijinks in the backyard. Not that he really cared, anyway. He was only renting until his next acting gig came along, and he was sure he'd get the part in that new film opposite Kate WInslet.

Optimus Prime - Beach Defender

Out of work since defeating the Decepticon, Optimus Prime takes to defending sunbathers from rowdy underage bullies raoming the beaches of Melbourne. Sure, it didn't always feel 'right' to pound small kids into the sand without mercy, "..but look at what playing the bad guy did for Denzel Washington" he thought.

"Hey! B.B! Before you go - I gotta ask you a question about the Lapinsky account.."

Trying to assimilate into the human world was really getting Bumblebee down. It seemed he could never get out of the office without 'something urgent' coming up just as he was stomping out the door.

"One of these days...BAM! Then they're gonna find out what really happened to Bob in Accounts.. they'll see you can't push around ol' Bumblebee.. no siree..." he thought.

"Umm..Vince, you know that guy you just overtook a minute ago...?"

Driving home from a weekend at the beach, kids screaming in the backseat, nagging wife telling him to slow down all the time, sunburnt, hungry and just plain fed up, Vince realised he probably shouldn't have overtaken that really big 4x4 driving in the middle of the road..or flipped him the finger..

Lemme guess, Batman, that's your BatFormer.. er.. TransBat.. TransPod.. ah screw it you pointy headed freak, you go BOOM now!

Running out of options when dealing with the deviously twisted Joker, an increasingly desperate Batman infringes copyright by building a large metallic robot that can change shape in increadibly elaborate and noisy ways and do stuff. He saved money by using his own voice though.

"..You know I'm BAAAD! I'm BAD! You know it! Shamone!.."

The Decepticon attack Melbourne at night, thinking we would all be asleep and unaware, but they didn't count on being seen by the city's last B-Boy crew and promptly challenged to a dance-off. Megatron was relieved though when he recalled that he made Breakdance 101 a compulsory part of Decepticon Bootcamp training the year before.
