    Yeah. A cartoon that could KICK YOUR ASS!

    Guess what happens if you try to throw five daVinci lions together. Hint: they don't merge to form a kickass robot; they break.

    Can the mechanical lion live in lava? No! Cuz it's lame and probably driven by a lame lamer like Leo Lamenstein. Even Pidge wouldn't go near this wind-up piece of trash.

    Voltron lions make Voltron. This makes a lousy fleur-de-lis. LAME!

    Keep your wicked-retarded wind-up lion. I'll take Black Lion any day of the week and twice on Tuesdays.

    By the way - you're Leo Lamenstein, king of the Lamers.

    @OMG! Ponies!: you're a little off base here. obviously this lion was the one that lived in the forest. so your whole lava argument falls to pieces.

    i do believe leonardo made a version that did live in the harshest of lava conditions. of course i'm referring to alligator infested lava.

    @deliciousburglar: No. This is the lion that lives in the forest.

    Do not challenge my knowledge of 80's cartoons.

    The George Lucas of his day? So daVinci was a bearded gasbag who kept cranking out retreads of a decent idea he had in his youth.

    @OMG! Ponies!: His early painting, Robot Lion, was a phenomenal success. When he went back to redo it with new, enhanced "wind-up technologies", though, many of his most loyal fans became disenchanted.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Agreed. I expect that in the distant future there will be some wildly inaccurate reconstructions of this commenting system, "Gizmodo's commenting system was like Star Wars episodes 1,2 and 3. From historical evidence it an amazing system that generated more praise than the systems that proceeded it."

    I miss my star.

    @appletoad: Fleur de lis is French for lily flower and was used in decorative art/architecture and by the French as a royal symbol. It's also on the English and Scottish crown jewels.

    Beats the inflatable chair in terms of emergency seating, but you know this is eventually going to get food or drink spilled on it, and that's going to be really tough to explain when it's hung as a painting.
