Unit 01 – @lizsketch

Unit 01, formerly known as Takehiko, is a city ward defense unit featuring the first illegal human consciousness AI. His oil type is unleaded O. He likes long walks on the waterfront, skipping boulder-sized stones on the ocean, and keeping his ward free from invading warfare units. Unit 01 would like to adopt a pet dog he would then name BFF Unit 02. His ideal night out would involve a successful neighborhood defense mission, hanging koinobori like he did as a child, and a tune-up from his best friend and pilot, Izumi.

U.S.S Paul Bunyan – @johndelucca

This is the U.S.S Paul Bunyan. These mobile armored walking ships were deployed late in the war (1917) as an amphibian alternative to standard battleships. The Paul Bunyan was the second, and last, of these ships to be built and deployed. On land and at sea these ships were fearsome and effective weapons against most enemy vehicle types.

Lunch Break – @konradwerks

She may not look like much, but Team Unicorn and their captain are favorites to win this year's Beach Volleyball Melee Tourney.

A Mancat and His Robocat – @martingee

With this illustration, I was able to pull from my childhood influences and lifelong love for robots. Whenever our family visited San Francisco’s Chinatown, all I wanted was 'hett ngeen see' which literally translates to “metal people books” in Cantonese. I’m still fascinated by all the giant 70s Japanese robots via anime, live-action, and toys

The Silence of Concrete – @jasuhu

Every time when I think about mechanical, my mind turns to architecture. It's about space, the human body, and emotional reactions. Concrete has its own soul. I want to fly, and take a bath in an ocean.

Moron Robot – @good-king

M.R is distracted by shiny things. M.R is not very bright. M.R just wants to be happy. Everyone wonders if making AI is the right thing to do. We're worried about making it too smart because it might destroy us. No one worries about making happy AIs. Happy AI's won't turn the world to goo. We always approach making AI's as mirrors to ourselves, as if the only way to be intelligent or sentient is to be miserable, war-mongering, consumers. I troll, therefore I am. I want to be a Moron Robot. Happy and distracted by all the pretty lights.

Alpine Mechanic – @joemaccaroneart

The invasive species of mobile, pink slime was initially a problem for the farmers, ruining the crops in the valley. Over time, valley-people were able to contain the animated fungal goo and began to utilize its properties to give life to their machines. Combining wood, "white material," and the pink slime, the people of the valley created a giant robot to help with any issues that may come up. Along with his crew, this machine serves as a jack-of-all-trades and is loved and supported by the community.
