It's cropped badly, it has a watermark, it's tiny.

Oh, and it doesn't look like the trope either. They look like people in suits. I can't see anything robotic about them besides their shiny armor.

This should be easy enough to illustrate. Let's get cracking.

A shot of the droid armies from the Star Wars prequels would work great IMO.

I agree, the droid armies from Star Wars would be a great example.

I considered those, but felt that it was hard to make out the individual droids and, to a certain extent, identify them as properly mechanical rather than simply alien.

When you post a new image (or otherwise resolve the issue in an Image Pickin' thread) please also Holler at the mods (it's the button with the exclamation point in a yellow triangle, [up]) and ask that the thread be locked, that removes the "Image Pickin' Discussion" banner/link from the article.
