Free Mimobot of the Week: Clone Captain Rex!
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!
I love Calvin’s transmogrifier!!!
Undoubtedly the light saber. As cool (and as geek) as sci-fi gets!
lightsaber
I’ll take a time machine, please.
teleporter
ok im calling a tie between the babel fish from hitchhikers guide and the Skrill/CVI from Earth final conflict series was crap after the first season but the living energy weapon and implant super charged your brain were cool ideas
Camouflage cloak! (which gives invisibility 🙂 )
Star Treks USS Voyager and a naked Seven of Nine all to myself!
The lightsaber, duh.
The GUI in Minority Report…
Lightsaber!
FANTASTIC VOYAGE: the shrinking of a submarine to microscopic size and injecting it into a diplomat’s blood stream with a small crew aboard.
Mine is definitely the pod racers from star wars 🙂 Imagine racing in those!!!
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.
A 128K Mac Classic that can design transparent aluminium* with 37 keystrokes.
* No, that’s not a typo – I was born the right side of the Atlantic.
Zat(nikatel)
1 shot = 3rd degree assault
2 shots = 1st degree murder
3 shots = Case thrown out of court
obviously, lightsaber, just like everyone else
The show phone from Get Smart.
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…
Protoculture from Robotech
I haven’t seen my favorite fake sci-fi technology yet. The fakyest would be one that makes me believe I am good looking, women love me, I am rich, and everyone wants to be like me.
nano suit
Antimatter Engines and Warp Drive
professor frink’s debigulator
the “microsofts” (no relation to the company) from the Sprawl novels by william gibson lets you learn anything by slamming a little thumb drive behind your ear

I LOVE that movie!

Marvin the paranoid android
Anything from Jules Verne really which is not so much science fiction anymore but fact because we now have the fax and the cellphone.
I’m going to go with a transporter since my car died last week and not having a vehicle sucks.
Cherry 2000,
the holodeck no doubt
S1m0ne (the hologram from the movie)
Apple iTablet
As much as a Transporter would useful and a lightsaber would be cool… Nothing stands in front of the holodeck. I mean come on, if that existed there wouldn’t be a human race after that. I would never leave, would you? yeah I didn’t think so…
Mega Maid from Spaceballs.
