I have found some striking similarities in our Robot overlords. The Phyrexians, the Terminators and even the Decepticons. They're all scary as hell and they have an eerie look. We're going to forget about the matrix as they have died really horribly in that last movie. In any case I found the first one watching Transformers, Dark of the Moon. I noticed Shockwave had a worm robot that looked really familiar. After some more terra munching I realized it looked like a Wurmcoil Engine from Magic the Gathering.
That right there is Shockwave, so on the left you can see the massive ass worm that eats all.
That Right there is Wurmcoil Engine. A massive artificial Wurm that is actually two smaller wurms tangled together, hence the coil part.
Now if that wasn't enough it seems that there is MORE!! well more like Terminators turn. Granted, in this case the chronological entrance of the creatures are a bit off. With transformers coming out this year and the wurmcoil engine coming out last year, Terminator salvation came out almost a year before this phyrexian introduction.
That is a Harvester from Terminator Salvation. The dude looks sick and is scary as hell. The sounds it makes are unbelievable. Well done...now to his phyrexian counterpart
This is the Etched Monstrosity. Granted this card specifically is a play on an older mirrodin card Etched Oracle, not the popular considered Etched Champion. In anycase the similarities are there with the arms and the general make-up and design. The key differences in head and long spikes from the back of the head is derived from the etched oracle the phyrexians are mocking.
But in any case we know how our robot slave overseers are going to look. We've made them time and time again....not counting the matrix. And seriously it's like they gave Michael Bay a trillion dollars and told him to make a movie.
