In Alphabot, designer Tony Bui creates a cute A to Z of his favourite robots from various TV shows, games, and movies over the past 30 odd years.
There are nods to Star Wars, Transformers, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and RoboCop to mention a few. Have a look at Bui’s 26 mechanical marvels after the jump.
If you’re a fan of space westerns like Saber Rider, Bravestarr, and SilverHawks, I think that you’ll appreciate the cheesiness that is Space Stallions.
As a homage to their favourite cartoons from the 80s, The Animation Workshop from Denmark tells the story of Sun Ray and his fellow Space Stallions as they battle the demon of darkness, Destructo. Behold the horsepower, keytars, and cheesy 80s beats!

Back in the day when life was much simpler, cartoons ruled my life. As much as I liked school, I longed for the time it would end each day so that I could rush home to catch the next episode of Voltron. And then there was Dangermouse, Inspector Gadget, Visionaries, Chip n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers, Saber Rider, BraveStarr, She-Ra, Thundersub, …
Artists Jane Lui and Paul Dateh bring back waves of nostalgia in their collaboration, Cartoon Medley, where they play the theme songs from classic cartoons including Inspector Gadget, Duck Takes, and the Animaniacs.

I don’t like bees. I’ve been stung on the nose and on the foot (not at the same time), so I keep a healthy distance for the bastards. They’re capable of ruining a perfectly leisurely picnic (the nose incident) or a walk on the beach (the foot fiasco). Thank goodness I haven’t met the killer variety.
The devastation that bees cause is clearly seen in Revenge of the Zombees. In this side-scrolling game from Adult Swim, it seems that a top secret zom-biological research facility has been conducting experiments on bees, and the tyrannous little buggers have escaped. You control this swarm of badly bee-haved insects as they go on a rampage, devouring people and cows, flattening buildings, and swatting superheroes and military choppers out of the sky.
The game warns of explicit 80s-themed gore and heavy metal violence, and takes place in four distinct settings. Hearing the sounds of the alarmed cows as they are engulfed by ravenous bees is half the fun. Play Revenge of the Zombees at Adultswim.

While whippets do look good in hats (example), you may recognize the specific headgear in Derick’s image. You may also have noted the play on words there, based on Devo’s single, “Whip It”. If you didn’t, then here’s a chance for you to experience the music video. It contains a cross-eyed Asian lass brandishing a gun, a maternal figure offering everyone some of her pie (literal, I think), and the band members wearing rather odd red hats. It was the 80s so none of that really needs explaining.
[thanks Derick!]
