Paul Loughridge has a little army of robots that he's preparing to unleash upon the world. He may not be the only one (see our previous post), but he's certainly one of the most talented. "Lockwasher Design" (his website) displays some robots and guns, but most of the recent work is kept in his Flickr account.

Each robot has a name and distinct personality (reminiscent of "Robots" animated movie):
