It’s hard to fathom the twisted minds of men that can conceive and create a device of this perfection. In your Victorian alternate timeline, it is still 2009. While Apple exists, it has come to resemble something only Snow White’s dark queen could conjure.

Your Alternate Timeline: Your Killer EyePod
Awesome Robot Sculptures From Robotart
Lawrence Northey is one gifted guy. I’ve started to collect some robot sculpture bits and bobs here and there for my “space” and although I’d have to save up a bit for the beauties found at Robotart, it would be well worth the penny pinching.
SteamPunk Artistic Award Winners: Your Sci-Fi Victorian Vision

Sci-fi Humor: The Rude Awakening of Optimus Prime
Let’s face it, Optimus Prime is pretty old school. I mean, for God’s sake, he transforms into a big rig. You can’t get anymore traditional than that. Which is probably why when Optimus Prime gets killed and is rebuilt (which kinda happens a lot), chances are he won’t really “get” what’s happening around him, and is liable to clash with the newer model Transformers.

Retro Sci-Fi: Now and Again
It had 22 episodes, but it really should have had more. Created, written, and produced by Glenn Gordon Caron (who would go on to create the popular Medium for NBC) in 2000, Now and Again concerned one Michael Wiseman as a re-built man (the Six Million Dollar Man for the new millennium, if you will), who is put to work by the U.S. Government under the close supervision of Dr. Theodore Morris (played by 24 and The Unit’s Dennis Haysbert). Originally a 40-something husband and father of one (played in cameos by John Goodman), Wiseman becomes a 26-year old, genetically modified superhuman man played by Eric Close (now with the hit show Without a Trace).
