Jon Reinfurt was created in 1980 by a team of German engineers attempting to build the world’s largest robot. When the team unveiled their prototype to the scientific community they were met with harsh criticism and were ridiculed for creating a towering monstrosity that obviously could not function.

Unfortunately for everyone, Jon was fully operational, and the engineers had made a slight oversight by including lasers and “The Will to Dominate” into their design. This worked out well for Jon, who is currently invading the commercial illustration market and leaving only destruction in his wake.
