Adam Savage wants you to know that bidding is open on MythBusters' terrible, moldering robot cat
Robocat's curse is being passed along as part of a charity auction for Grant Imahara's Steam Foundation
From August 20th to September 1st, a huge collection of MythBusters memorabilia will go up for auction in order to raise money for the late Grant Imahara’s Steam Foundation. Among these items is a robotic cat from an old episode about trying to get past guard dogs that’s lived in storage for more than a decade, growing in evil even as its material body deteriorates.
Obviously guided by the knowledge that the only way to transfer Robocat’s curse is for another person to willingly take possession of it, former host Adam Savage has now released a video showing off the horrible feline cyborg.
Savage unveils the prop by answering the rarely-asked question of whether MythBusters ever created something that “man was never meant to build.” Standing amidst a collection of objects from the show’s past, he says: “The answer is ‘yes,’ and the thing that man was never meant to build is, of course, Robocat.”
