Tatsujin '10


This image is based on a article WIRED did about the Tetsujin (Iron Man) competition that takes placed annually in Texas. A bunch of robotics geeks build their own apparatuses whose only (apparent) function is to dead lift free weights. The machine that can lift the most in the least amount of time wins. 

The machines featured are ripe for transforming into a cartoon; I didn't even have to exaggerate the one I did that much; although I simplified it for sanity's sake.  What better pilot to execute a monstrosity than to have a madman with an overly-developed cranium at the helm? 

The brainiac, is Dr. Ivan Nimploy, a former member with the Big League of Extraordinary Evil Researchers. He supposedly broke away from the group based on arguments on where to stage their super villain lair / resort. During this turbulent period, Nimploy also worked as the leading perfumery scent guy for the Diva Bitch brand, creating world-renown scents like "Ass for Days", "Cheek Cleavage" and "Starry Thong Nights". Nimploy let his esteemed position at Diva Bitch to mess around with robotic limbs full-time.
