How are products found?

Wayback Machine! For Google Merch, I go to archives to see any products and their SKUs. I then go to where their product images are stored to browse through the images. For Dead Zebra and everything else, I wing it and try getting images straight from the archives.

How are games found?

Using an Android package ID can lead directly to an APK download page. For example, searching "com.electricsheep.edj apk" for its APK for download.

How are videos found?

Often searching "android mascot animation" can find tons of neat videos on YouTube. The video is downloaded at original quality.

Is this a store?

It is not. This is an archive of merchandise imagery mostly. Sometimes you will find a product that is still up for sale, the View page that will link to its store page.

Can I mass download media?

Sure can! It's not my server being used to host anyway so...

Check out the GitHub repository for anything you need.

What are those emojis?

These emojis were found in the files of system app com.android. It is likely that they were apart of an earlier Android version.

Want the whole thing? You can download the emoji pack ZIP file.

Why are some Bugdroids referred to differently?

Here is the Renders page thumbnail for example. From left to right:

"Iconic" was a name often given to Android merchandise with the 2019 branding, so I went with that. The 2023 mascot is often in 3D but is using its 2D variant here for continuity.

The robot is called "Bugdroid" or "Android"?

In Android's licensing pages, it is referred to as "Android bot". In Google's CES 2024 blog, it was called "The Bot". In Google's 2023 rebrand blog, it was called "bugdroid"

Basically, it is kinda all over the place. For simplicity, "bugdroid" is used for the robot.

What is the YouTube directory for?

Without creating an entire site, I wanted to archive all YouTube merchandise easily. It is done so here for all the YouTube fans.

I have suggestion or fix for the website.

On GitHub, go to my bugdroid.org repository, you can open an Issue ticket there.
