Sure Halloween is still eight months away, but is that gonna stop you from buying a War Machine costume and trying to seduce industrial robots at the Toyota factory? Probably not. Which is exactly why you should seek professional help. Namely, me with a baseball bat . Hold still, this won’t hurt a bit. Yes, yes it will. This is gonna be the worst feeling you’ve ever felt in your entire life. Even worse than the first time you had your heart broken. Which, whoa — when did Cupid get a liquid nitrogen crossbow? All costumes available soon from CustomeCraze. Hit the jump for sexy ‘Ironette’ and Black Widow costumes, a kid’s version, and some Tony Stark facial hair.

I’ve known about the Triceracopter for awhile because it was available last year, but I didn’t want to tell you about it while I attempted to secure it for myself. Unfortunately even my most threatening phone calls didn’t work, so here it is. Now maybe you can help me steal it. Per old post: Built as a sculpture in 1977 by artist Patricia Renick, it’s now available now for the discerning collector/dinopilot. The Triceracopter is subtitled “Hope for the Obsolescence of War,” and I guess that’s why it’s a dinosaur combined with a military helicopter. You know what I love about the Triceracopter? Unlike most dino-vehicle hybrids, this one won’t scorch your genitals off should you try mounting it from behind. *ahem* I’m looking at you, Velocirocket. Hit the jump for three more shots.

Monocopters are single-bladed airfoils , best known for falling from maple trees as whirligigs. But this is a radio controlled version developed by Lockheed Martin that actually flies UP instead of only down. I predict robotic versions in the future with really, really sharp blades on them. Eventually, the SAMARAI project was supposed to produce a nanomonocopter (?) about the same size as a seed pod (on the order of 1.5 inches long and 10 grams in weight), driven by a miniature rocket or jet thruster, able to send back streaming video (that was stabilized somehow), autonavigate, and deliver a 2 gram payload up to a kilometer away. The big version in the video above was a testbed to help engineers figure out just how to get this thing to fly in a stable and controllable manner. Forget helicopters and monocopters, what ever happened to good old fashioned jetpacks? Because jetpacks, as my Magic 8-Ball just confirmed, are the wave of the future. Just saying, you ever made love to a girl wearing one? Don’t do it from behind. Lockheed Martin SAMARAI UAV Scares Me [botjunkie]
