My neighbor has this large cardboard cutout of a robot with a chicken burger, obviously part of some fast food ad campaign.

I'm curious to know if the robot in question is from some specific work, or if it was created just for this campaign. Also, what company was the campaign for?

  • @Clockwork-Muse I could see that. Now I need help identifying this alien from a stuffed animal. poppoppa.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/… Commented Jun 19, 2015 at 12:56

It appears this is just an ad for Carl's Jr. and the robot was created for the ad. Ad enter image description here

Robot was designed by the people who designed the terminator and Iron Man

It's just for an ad campaign, for the fast food outlets Carl's Jr. and Hardee's.
