I remember these ads well from OMNI back in the day. I went to The Computer Museum in Boston in 1991, I think it was, and they had the life size models of these robots, perhaps in this configuration. They also had a ginormous PC you could actually work and walk into. That was cool.

They remind me of some battery ads (Tudor?) running here in the late 80s/early 90s.

Hah! I saw the headline for this in my RSS reader and I pictured perfectly the series of Maxell ads from the 80′s. I knew what I was going to find when I came here. Good times!

These ads reminded me of art created by William Whitehurst for Maxell a few years ago.

Before he brings life(?) to another robot, maybe he should fix his assistant's Igor-like bad posture.
