This stuff looks pretty inspiring I have to say. The trailers are quite cool. Especially the second one. Dig the pipe!

I've always like this guy's designs even though I may not have know who he was at the time. He's done work on T2 and the new Star Wars movies in addition to the ship designs in the PC game Earth & Beyond (which wasn't the best game, but I dug the look).

Hey, yeah. What happened to this project?

I remember seeing that (or similar) trailer years ago and gettin' really interested.

He's been given 50 million to make Robota into a movie. And as for the trailers, the animated one (second one) was released in February so that is pretty recent.
