Wall-E GameCube mod melts our hearts, makes us want

Without question we've seen GameCube mods more extravagant than this, but until something even more adorable comes to light, we're definitely giving the "Most Heartwarming" badge to this here creation. The Wall-E GameCube mod was inspired by the character in Disney's upcoming film (titled Wall-E, of all things), and hours upon hours of TLC were clearly poured into this concoction. We know you're eager for more angles of those eyes, so hit up the read link to get what you're after.

everyone should boycot this movie until they can explain to us why wall-e is a pre-teen copy of our original favorite robot - Johnny #5.

[LiqwidZero @ Feb 22nd 2008 10:11AM]

Johnny #5 can go get disassembled. Wall-E is my new favorite.

[Henry @ Feb 22nd 2008 10:36AM]

Agreed. You can't tell me they didn't design wall-e with influence from Johnny 5.

For those of you who don't remember what Johnny 5 looked like - http://dork457.ggot.org/johnny%205.jpg

"No Disassemble #5! No Disassemble #5!"

[Numetheus @ Feb 22nd 2008 11:16AM]

[Brad @ Feb 22nd 2008 10:48AM]

you guys are kidding right? besides the almost-no-semi-resemblance of the eyes, the tracks are what's similar. Let's not forget Johnny-5 was as tall as a human, whereas Wall-E is like 1/5 the size. It's like a mirror image!

[Alexander Rengifo @ Feb 22nd 2008 10:56AM]

LOS LOCOS KICK YER ASS! LOS LOCOS KICK YER FACE! LOS LOCOS KICK YER BOWLS INTO OWTER SPACE!

Always enjoyed that chant.

[Kunal @ Feb 22nd 2008 11:11AM]

Clutch Johnny 5 reference. Took me a minute to remember it, but it was indeed the greatest chant ever.

[The General @ Feb 22nd 2008 11:12AM]

Well, for what it's worth ... I got the reference.

[KAZ @ Feb 22nd 2008 11:22AM]

Come on guys!!! He is obviosuly an iPhone CLONE!!!

[Ghoti @ Feb 22nd 2008 11:33AM]

So what if Wall-E looks like Johnny #5??? It's still gonna be a really good movie I bet.

[Ken @ Feb 22nd 2008 11:56AM]

WALL*E kicks @$$

[zap @ Feb 22nd 2008 12:01PM]

it's a pixar movie, pixar = apple = cool for engadget

[Mel @ Feb 22nd 2008 1:04PM]

Uh, actually pixar = disney = what typically is a good movie when animated

[Sal @ Feb 22nd 2008 2:45PM]

Who teh F is this Johnny 5 ripe off? /stab

[CG @ Feb 22nd 2008 4:28PM]

But will it blend?

[atghiphop @ Feb 22nd 2008 6:58PM]

youve all got it wrong! if Johnny 5 inspired Wall-e where was Johnny 5 inspired from? Short circuit is from 1986, but before that, there was the nintendo r.o.b.(1984) who bares a striking resemblance to WallE. so thats where its from!

[tyler @ Feb 22nd 2008 9:14PM]

I can't wait to see this movie. Pixar is usually good and there's something about a totally innocent robot that makes him awesome!

[Steve A. @ Feb 23rd 2008 12:46AM]

If you want a laugh, go searching through this site: http://www.buynlarge.com/ This is the 'company' that makes the Wall-E in the upcoming film. It'd take a little while to figure it out, but if you look closely on the trailer, the brands match. I lol'ed at their 'core values' page under 'our company.'

[Daniel @ Feb 24th 2008 7:58AM]

I thought WALL-E looked like Johnny No 5 too but after seeing Short Circuit last night. He really looks nothing like him. Appart from his tracks.

It's the bot version of Magibon / MRarian.
