Robot Bastard - The Greatest Free Short Film on the Internet!

Here's something that is utterly bizarre and just plain odd which you probably have not seen. It's one of those rare gems on the Internet: a video that's actually good (and doesn't involve a baby falling over or some silly cat).  Described by Tekbug Magazine as "...the kind of film that every teen-age boy wants to see and the type of film every geeky guy wants to be in", Robot Bastard is one heck of a crazy ride well worth checking out. And it's free!

This 15 minute or so short film, directed by Rob Schrab, tells the story of a bright orange (awesome looking) robot who is sent on a mission to kill the most feared female in the universe. Fighting tones of space mummy/zombie things along the way and ending in a great climax, this is a little known film that's pure gold! And yep, it's as silly and as kick ass as you could possibly imagine with a title like that!

Here's what the official website describes it as:

"The future is a cooler place than you might imagine. Robot Bastard exists in an eight-grade-boy universe of Robots, Rocket ships and cute girls. Escape to the colorful adventure in the first installment of Robot Bastard! Yes, geeks of the world, this is the one you've been praying for.

The President's Daughter has been kidnapped by the brilliant super-criminal Blood Mamba. All rescue attempts have been thwarted by the evil genius. There's only one thing left to do: send in the Robot. The Robot must fight zombie-monsters and insecurity in order to complete his suicidal mission.

This marks the directorial debut of Rob Schrab (Creator of Scud: the Disposable Assassin and Heat Vision and Jack)."

The animation in this film is spot on, the one-liners are hilarious, the sets, the lighting, the sounds - everything just seems to work! Truly one of the strangest, most stylish and bad ass videos your likely to come across for free (legally!)

If you want to check this out then head on over to the Official Site, where you'll be able to download the film, the trailer and all the goodies.

Highly recommended!

Robosaurus - The Definition of awesomeness! Roar!

What would you see if you looked up the word 'Awesome' in a dictionary? "Robosaurus?" No, you idiot, you would get the definition of 'Awesome!' But no other thing, in this world at least, is quite as awesome as the...awesome ROBOSAURUS!

Forget Godzilla, he's a has-been. For this is pure power! Measuring 40ft (12meters) in height and weighing 30 tons, this monster can crush cars, lorries, and even airplanes in it's jaws. Built in 1988 by Doug Malewicki (for a sum of $2.2 million!), nothing comes close to this monster. Not even the creature it was based on; the almighty T-Rex would look like a midget in a Peter Pan costume compared to this guy. What else can breath fire, crush anything and lift objects 5 storeys off the ground?!

But why there hell was it even made? I'm thinking two things. Either world domination or...world domination. But the Freak is wrong for apparently the whole idea came from wanting to create a real Transformer.

And be sure to check out the creature's own website for some incredible photos/videos and info...
