In this new video from Dee Lux, a Dalek-esque military bot roams New York, looking for hot, intoxicated ladies. The vid is so bad that it inspired the geeks at Danger Room to hold a contest . . . More »

If you needed any further proof that Australians are the best cosplayers in the universe, then allow me to offer as evidence The Dalekettes.
