Auto Trends | New Transformer Bumblebee Chevy Camaro

Auto Trends

Riding on the popularity of Transformers and one of the favorite robots of them all - Bumblebee - Chevy is releasing a limited edition Camaro, which is an exact replica of Bumblebee in the Transformers.

Of course that doesn't include changing into Bumblebee, but you can't have everything.

Fans of the Bumblebee Camaro will get a nice insignia with the word 'Transformers' on the hood and side of the car, and is sure to draw the attention of some rabid Transformer fans out there.

One thing I love about it is the deep yellow color, which is one of my favorites for a car, so Bumblebee or not, I like this new Chevy Camaro.

Trends Self-propelled Printer

Tech Trends

The Mini Giant, a newly developed inkless printer has been developed by designer Paula Adina Sumalan for the 'Futures' category of the Zero Boundaries Zink Product Design Competition, for which she won first price.

This nifty little printer has no need of ribbons or ink cartridges, rather it uses crystals which are heated onto a special paper.

All you have to do is place it on the top left corner of the ZINK paper and it self-propels itself to create the print.

You can fit the Mini Giant into the palm of your hand.

Robot Toy Trend This Summer

Toy Trends

There's no doubt the latest installment of Terminator and Transformers have made robot toys a must buy this summer, and they're flying off the shelves, and many more are expected to for some time.

This doesn't mean that the robots have to be Transformer bots or Terminator robots, as many others unconnected but fun to play with are selling well too.

Some of the more popular toy robots selling beside the movie tie-in robots are those that include some type of personality with them.

One such robotic toy filled with personality is Penbo, which includes a little baby that comes out of her stomach and chirps.

Sega Toy's Robot Cat 'Dream Cat Venus'

Robot Trends

A new robotic pet toy from Sega Toys is now on the market, called 'Dream Cat Venus,' the second in what looks like a an emerging robot pet toy line.

The robot cat is able to respond to outward stimuli or lack of human stimuli like a real cat does; purring when you pet it, and protesting with noises if you don't. Of course you don't have to worry about feeding, water or changing cat litter either.

While this is a toy cat robot, researchers at Tohoku University's Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer in Japan are behind the inner workings of the robot pet, and that's understandable, as they've been working on robots to use with the elderly and terminally ill patients for some time.

Sego Toys has released a dog robot named 'Dream Dog DX' in the past, and it makes you wonder if there will be further animal robots in the future.
