Toyota's TPR-Robina facility guide leads you straight to your doom

You know Toyota, adding a fancy haircut and skirt to your latest meet 'n greet robot doesn't make us any less afraid. Note how the "fingers" on Tipper (with gore) Robina's hands are perfectly aligned to hold your face like an organic bowling ball. Just sayin's all.

But does it play Doom?

Seriously, if I give it a gun, will it kill zombies?

[Rynth @ Aug 23rd 2007 4:43AM]

Looks like its left hand is giving me the fingers..

Damn phreaky robots..

[Jypson @ Aug 23rd 2007 5:14AM]

Looks more like "she's" throwing some robo gang signs. Cyber Side!!!

[AC @ Aug 23rd 2007 5:07AM]

That, is scary.

[shaun @ Aug 23rd 2007 5:21AM]

That is absolutely terrifying

[ExcavatE @ Aug 23rd 2007 5:52AM]

LOL, if Toyota wants us to adopt these robots into human society I think they need to stop hollowing out the eyes like that !

....I swear it's like she already knows all my secrets [shivers].

[AlexP @ Aug 23rd 2007 5:57AM]

OMG TOYOLITTLE SISTER

[Jack @ Aug 23rd 2007 6:12AM]

You thought those were fingers? they are for extracting the Adam from your corpse...

[Twitchy @ Aug 23rd 2007 8:27AM]

I hope this sucker's bullet proof, because if something that freaky looking approached me I wouldn't heasitate to shoot first and then ask for directions.

[Dahk @ Aug 23rd 2007 9:50AM]

No matter.

She'll catch those bullets with those freaky hands of hers -- AND give you the fingers at the same time.

that evil thing looks like it's playing air guitar - this bot possibly programed to beat you at guitar hero?

[Pauly @ Aug 23rd 2007 9:43AM]

The receptionist robot from Mitsubishi is no less scary.

You know she'd kick your ass at Wii sports, though.

[SansaFTW @ Aug 23rd 2007 10:35AM]

ZOMG, Engadget just banned me for being a Giz fanboy. that's so lame, guys.

[Pall @ Aug 23rd 2007 10:50AM]

i'm thinking the eyes light up.

[kp* @ Aug 23rd 2007 10:55AM]

I for one welcome our three fingered, hollow eyed, customer greeting robotic overlords.

[ekwmin @ Aug 23rd 2007 11:03AM]

I actually like this design. It seems like a knowledgeable assistant robot from some super clean future society that lives in a city floating in the sky. Definitely better than the Mitsubishi one.

[james r @ Aug 23rd 2007 11:37AM]

This looks a lot like that robot from Logan's Run. "Fish! Plankton! Protein from the Sea!"

[mastershake3 @ Aug 23rd 2007 1:23PM]

He's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a dolls eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn't seem to be livin'. Until he bites you. Then those black eyes roll over white. And then...well you hear that terrible high pitch.....

[Ken @ Aug 23rd 2007 1:50PM]

As much it reminded me of Box from Logan's Run, the molded white plastic and carved hairstyle reminds of the robot women in a Dr. Who episode of the "Bad Wolf" conclusion. They were parodying the two women on BBC that tell you how crappy your style looks.

I'm sure TPR-Robina will greet me in a much better way, telling me how fashionable I look, just before she plucks the eyes from my head and uses my head as a bowling ball for the amusement of all the industrial robots.

[silvarga @ Aug 23rd 2007 5:35PM]

Asymmetrical jaw-length bobs aren't necessarily the best look on the bottom-heavy.

Still,I'd like to get her together with 3 or 4 of those fleshy gray Emo Phillips robots from a month or two ago. I wanna do an Electro remix of Spinal Tap's "Big Bottom", and she and the Emo-bots would be perfect for the music video. I may need to mist her down with PenzOil during the Toyota Yaris-washing scene... Hey, are those finger-thingies dexterous enough to grab hold of a Carl's Jr. Burger?

Lastly, Is she a... pleasure-bot? I'm sure the lead Emo-bot's gonna wanna hit that, so I need to know what she's workin' with. Wait. I don't even know what that Emo-bot's working with.

Nevermind.

[L. Cyphre @ Aug 24th 2007 4:36AM]

...am I the only one to think she's kinda cute?

[klintor @ Aug 24th 2007 12:34PM]

Seiburu!
