Appliance Heroes! Robots in Really Bad Home-Fixture Disguise
 |
Let’s say that you’re a transforming robot, from the planet (for legal reasons) Shmybershmon, and for some reason you wish to disguise yourself as a rice cooker.
Would you (a) scan a rice cooker and do your best to imitate it exactly so you can hide in plain sight; or (b) paste a gigantic silly face on the side of your alt-mode – which is as conspicuous as a guilty person whistling – so you stand out as the dumbest looking appliance in the house?
I guess if you have made the latter choice, you misguided robot, you, you can always bring along all your pals, so that every appliance in the house has a smiley face. After all, these toys do come in a set of five.
