Reboot write up for CaptainKYSO

Link to original write up as it appeared on CaptainKYSO. (CaptainKSYO is currently under construction as it changes ownership. The original story follows below.)  If you look closely at the design, you can see that the robot is actually made up of individual living spaces.  This element was not only great detail on the part of the artist, but it also made it easier for my mind to make the connection between this design and the original Steelscape design.  The idea a sentient city would find larger and more deadly ways in which to defend itself seemed a natural fit to me, and this was a great design for continuing that narrative.

Intro:  Today’s robot t shirt gives off sense of how grand a scale a machine as tall as building would look.  Would you take convincing to live in such a home, or would you be recruited to reside there against your will.

Over video screens in the City, an advertisement comes on, and a smooth, gentle female voice begins to talk…

                Greetings citizens!  Have you been feeling it’s time to move up in the world, but you are just not sure how?  Do you feel fiercely loyal to our wonderful way of life and wish you could live, and die, for the City in the comfort of your own home?  Would enjoy an added bit of excitement to your apartment life within the City of Steel?  Then perhaps it is time to fight for that dream and for the City, by getting into your very own fighting robot home!  Reboot your life in the newest addition to the City of Steel, Mechapartments.

                Yes, Mechapartments, the latest development from your fully automated, artificially intelligent City of Steel.  Why deal with the average urban living, when for less than what you pay now, you could be living in a wonderful new Mechapartment.  Like every apartment in the City, it features fully automated living and dining experiences.  Unique to Mechapartments is the exciting possibility that you and your fellow residents may be called into action to fight in battle against those outsiders who threaten our way of life.

Mandatory volunteer duty may be necessary to help defend the city.  If you or any of your fellow citizens should perish and your Mechapartment be destroyed; your deposit will not be returned.  For some citizens, new living arrangements will made should your home suffer structural damage while defending the City.  Such minor skirmishes are unlikely, and you or your next of kin will be compensated should damage or death occur during occupancy of any Mechapartments residences.  Start your Mechapartments application today!  And remember the rules of the City:

Do not tolerate littering; keep the City clean and healthy for all citizens.

Do not tolerate violence against your fellow citizens; keep the City free of crime.

                Do not tolerate those who speak ill of our beloved way of life in the glorious City.

                Do not try to escape the confines of the City, you are safe from the dangers of the outside and are here for your own good.

                Do remember that you love your City, and it loves you back.

                Do report those who speak of leaving the City to your local, automated re-education center.

                Thank you, and remember, a loving person is a loyal citizen who will help defend the City, even unto death.

Keep This Shirt On If:  You think urban living can be daily battle at times.

Like artistic cityscape t shirts that leave you in wonderment, awe, and perhaps a  bit of fear?  See more artistic city t shirts and read more of the story of the City of Steel with SilentOp’s sci fi city t shirt and his modern urban themed t shirt. Or with Pinkstorm’s beautiful skyline t shirt.

Forget About It If:  You don’t like the idea of fighting your way through traffic to get home, especially if you had to fight through it with a giant sword and arm cannon.

Prefer your robots a little smaller and a little less inclined towards destruction and more inclined towards the better things of life?  SilentOp has an artistic robot music t shirt design that shows a rather Gifted little droid.

Color:  Red was the dawn on the day of the apartment rental.

Artist Bio:  Jay Maninang, through years of careful research and study in both advanced robotics and architecture; has come up with perfect gigantic fighting robot.  The one drawback to this is that officials at his local zoning commission will have him filling out paper work for years before he can even get started.
