Free Mimobot of the Week: Clone Captain Rex!

June 27, 2009 by Dr. Macenstein
Filed under: Awesomeness, Free Stuff, contests 

THANK YOU, WE HAVE OUR WINNER. THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. CONGRATS TO FAITHFUL MACENSTEIN READER Nomis.

We’ve once again teamed up with our good friends over at Mimoco to bring you a feature we know everyone loves - The Free MIMOBOT of the week contest! In celebration of the release of Mimoco’s Series 4 Star Wars Mimobots, each week we’ll be offering you a chance to win a different 2 GB MIMOBOT from the series.


Dude! it’s Boba-Fett’s dad! … sort of…

When you say the word “clone” to longtime Mac users, it often brings up nostalgic, beige memories of Radius or Umax, but to a Star Wars geek, it means something else entirely. While the three recent prequels did little to showcase the awesomeness of the clones, the Clone Wars TV show on Cartoon network has let us see that not all clones are created equal, and perhaps the most awesome of all clones is Clone Captain Rex, the leader of the clone troops.

Yes, this week we are giving away a super cool Clone Captain Rex (or CC-7567, to his clone brothers) mimobot. Loyal, brave – the perfect soldier to assign the duty of transferring your files via USB. Plus he kinda looks like Boba Fett.

To Enter: Cloning in sci-fi movies almost always goes horribly wrong, but it’s still a pretty cool technology. This week to enter, simply tell us what is your favorite fake sci-fi technology? Is it Star Trek’s transporter, Stargate’s Big Ring thing, The T-1000, what? Winner will be picked randomly. Contest ends seven days from now and is open to all readers world-wide. Good luck!

Every time you submit our site, an Angel gets its wings.

    65. The Phaser. It’s not just a weapons, it’s a multi-purpose tool. You can use it to heat rocks to warm yourself on frigid planets, melt and re-form metallic compounds to form tools, stun, not kill, the bad guys, kill the really bad guys, and dissolve into thin air the really, really bad guys. It can also be used as an explosive device by overloading it.

    70. Driods.
    It would be nice to have robots to do whatever super dangerous (or undesirable) job you needed. And if a driod fixed your car you know they would not have messed it up to make you come back and spend more money with that shop…
