The Honda Asimo, which we’ve previously condemned being oppressively stupid looking has secured its title, but with class. It gets on stage, looking like it’s about to drop a load right there, and then proceeds to leading the Detroit Symphony Orchestra to perform. The facial movements and slight hand movements are very impressive, and so far we haven’t been able to see the Flame accomplish the same things.

The Flame is considered the best walking robot of the current time, and definitely coolest looking blue flaming head. The main competitor is , unlike the flame, commercialized and is known as the Honda Asimo and looks like a cross between a drunk astronaut and a steroid-using kid looking for his mother.
