German electronic pioneers Kraftwerk have displayed a lot of varying interest over the past four decades, from pretty much inventing techno-pop to a serious passion of cycling. Now the iconic Germans can add magazine editors to their CV. The robots are the guest editors of the latest issue of Wallpaper* Magazine. The issue includes a new 3D gallery of vintage Kraftwerk imagery.

Music’s most recognized robots (sorry Kraftwerk) have now partnered with the world’s most recognized brand, Coca-Cola, for a limited edition series of gold and silver bottles to be made available in French clubs, and in limited qualities at Paris fashion temple, Collette. It’s the latest move by Daft Punk in what is clearly an ambition to become the world’s most famous robots, period. Of course, it’s gonna take more than single country ad campaign to topple reigning champions R2-D2 and C-3Po, but given this 2009 Addidas ad, their intentions seem clear.
