We've had robots on the brain recently, so why not continue the fun. Via NotCot, Chop Shop t-shirts has introduced a new shirt called WeRobot, featuring a pattern of 51 robots from "film, television, books, toys and one even from a famous classic rock album". They challenge you to name all 51, and I got, oh...maybe six? But if we're supposed to be the greatest pop culture blog on the planet, we should be able to knock 'em out, no problem...right?
Here's what I have so far (numbered shirt after the jump)
1) 16: Lost in Space robot
2) 10: Crow T. Robot from MST3K
3) 17: Berzerk video game robot
4) 20: Rock'em Sock'em robot
5) 27: Robot Owl from Clash of the Titans
6) 29: R2D2
My maybe's include: 12 from War of the Worlds? 28 from The Matrix? 43 from Robocop? 45 is Sigourney's machine from Aliens? And is 5 a Roomba? If it is, that's great. Can we get all 51?

kbel, I think you mean 18 is gigantor.
And, if 11 is #5 from Short Circuit, then 13 might be Konky from Pee Wee's Playhouse.
Also, what about the ones I wasn't sure about?

so, which ones are we still missing?
#33 is Baron Karza from the Micronauts
you got most of them… 7 is konky and 13 is WALL-E.
i see you all missing #19, 24, 31 (which is not a robot and will be swapped in the re-print), 42, 47. and FUCK YEAH #37 is the QUEEN robot from NEWS OF THE WORLD. you are only the 2nd person to ever guess that.
31, 42, 47, maybe 24 are still unclear. Anyone know what they are?
Yes, 31 isn't a robot, it's Megalon from Godzilla.
19 looks like it might be Bomberman
I was right about 37? KICK ASS!
#18 is Gigantor
I really need to get this shirt.
As for unguessed ones, is #24 from Robotron? And #47 is Dr. Theopolis from Buck Rogers.
If mgrodzki is looking for replacements for Megalon or additions in general, here's some suggestions:
Gypsy from MST3K
Dot Matrix from Spaceballs
Pneuman from Tom Strong
Ultron or The Vision from The Avengers
Cyberman from Dr. Who
TikTok of Oz
ABC Warrior from Judge Dredd
post-Crisis Braniac from Superman
Kryten from Red Dwarf
X-51 (aka Machine Man, aka Aaron Stack) as he appeared in Earth X
Sonny from I, Robot
Rodney Copperbottom from Robots
I'm sure I could keep coming up with more, but unless there's XXXL sizes of the shirt he's going to run out of room.
check the site… he’s been replaced. also replaced the lower left one as nobody could recognize it.
#18 is Tetsujin 28 from the Japanese anime "Tetsujin 28"
#28 is Sentinels from The Matrix
#48 is Mazinger Z
#49 is Voltron
#47 is Dr. Theopolis from Buck Rogers
