Kids, geeks, and lonely female cyborgs, I believe this robot bookshelf may pique your interest. Though not fitted with any mechanical parts, ATLAS still manages to demonstrate respectable robot handiness and wisdom with his 9-shelved body primed to hold your most precious bound volumes of adventure, intrigue, discovery, and step-by-step guides on how to score chicks and infiltrate the secret society of pickup artists. It can also serve as a Robo-bar, proudly displaying sci-fi drinking accessories, such as Vaportini inhalers, human heart wine carafes, and mad scientist absinthe kits.
Machined in engineered wood sheet and finished in silver-metallic paint with either blue or red accents, the robot bookshelf is as much a sculpture as a utilitarian piece of furniture. At least that's what married men can tell their wives whilst getting the beatdown for buying one.
Robots ship with hardware and optional steel anchor straps. They are huge. Almost as tall as I am at 80-1/2", plus 36" wide and 22-1/2" deep.

Steampunk Optimus Prime
My theory is that this might actually be Optimus Prime and this guy has captured him, found some way of disarming him, and is now trying to sell him. I don't know if I'd be comfortable sleeping with this guy roaming around...
Exo-Gauntlet - CO2 Powered Exoskeleton
JP Rishea masterminds a legion of sick conglomerations of metal and power, but the Exo-Gauntlet is probably his most irrationally needful of them all. I guess one could technically argue that it has a few practical applications...
Aliens Caterpillar P-5000 Power Loader
It may not muster the technological sophistication of the Kuratas rideable battle mech, but I'd still rather have Dustin Kiska's Aliens Caterpillar P-5000 Power Loader replica because Kiska built all 200 pounds of it...
Giant Cardboard Robot Arms Kit
When I transform into a paper-product-based Optimus Prime, I like to take on a more active role in the process than lifting my giant cardboard robot arms out of a giant cardboard box. So thanks be to Chuck Norris that...

Robot Dragonfly for Spying & Gaming
If it looks like an insect and flies like an insect and is virtually indecipherable from an insect to the human eye while in motion, it must be a palm-sized robot dragonfly with spying, advanced gaming, R&D, and security...
