I get it because I've seen the film, but it's hard to make out unless you're familiar with the material. You'll have to look closer to realize that Atom is wearing boxing gloves and is practicing with Charlie, for instance.

I have a couple of suggestions, China robot exhibition, or Coilette.

Death is a companion. We should cherish Death as we cherish Life.

Yeah I figured people would go for the first. I just added the second because that came in my mind first, haha.

1.1 is pretty funny.

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

One more vote for Chinese robot exhibit. Multiple instances, humanoid shapes, color-coded teams, Astroturf playfield with demarcation lines ... yeah, this image embodies the core principle of the trope nicely. My compliments on finding this one, and recognizing how applicable it is.

Yeah, we've got enough consensus to make the switch. It's up and tagged; caption?
