DIY Bionic Robot Lizard
Over 100 parts help this Bionic Robot Lizard take shape, and 3 servos help make it walk, but they can all do their job only if you do yours. The DIY kit from Sunfounder promotes STEM education for both beginning and advanced engineers, with all parts and tools needed to assemble the lizard, plus a visual programming language and Sunfounder nano board you'll use to get him moving.
Once properly assembled and taught, the Robot Lizard can walk forward and backward, in a way Sunfounder intends to the look "flexible and vivid" - bionic, you might say - and very similar to how a real lizard moves. You'll control movement with the included remote.

Steampunk Optimus Prime
My theory is that this might actually be Optimus Prime and this guy has captured him, found some way of disarming him, and is now trying to sell him. I don't know if I'd be comfortable sleeping with this guy roaming around...
Exo-Gauntlet - CO2 Powered Exoskeleton
JP Rishea masterminds a legion of sick conglomerations of metal and power, but the Exo-Gauntlet is probably his most irrationally needful of them all. I guess one could technically argue that it has a few practical applications...
