10. The Pool Vacuum – Zima Blue
Zima is a world-renowned (cyborg) artist whose final work is much anticipated and soon to be revealed. We learn of his past and his humble beginnings as a simple machine. Throughout his life, he had more and more modifications that eventually turned him into the robot he is today.
