Here is my MBF-2

I am not sure if everyone on this forum has seen this movie from the 80's but the MBF-2 reminds me of this cult classic and I feel it shares alot of similarities. The hero of the movie was this robot called Number 5. Just like the movie....I believe the MBF-2 is a cult icon and will be a cult classic in years to come.

Visually the head of Number 5 (name of the robot) is very similar to the MBF2.

Aptly titled as well...MBF-2 & Short Circuit 2. We all loved the 1st version and therefore there was a 2nd version made.

Check out the text on the poster....i bet some of us here reacted the same way when we saw the MBF-2. Its not just an ordinary watch. The design was "nuts and bolts" It was a piece of machinery, its a tool, its a robot.

To some Number 5 was just robot, its just a tool. Just like the MBF2...its a machine, its a tool.  But as the movie progresses, we see Number 5 actually has personality and slowly we all grew to love him. And I dare say that is how I felt for the MBF2, the more you learned about it, the more you "looked into" the machine's heart, you started to love it.

At the end of the day, Number5 enriched the life of those it met. MBF2 enriched our horological lives.
