Looks quite good actually. But there's a few things.

First, I would remove the dude behind the lightpole in the background. Then the blood coming from your face, looks more like something else, I can't remember the name of, but maybe play around with it.

And your elbow is way to thin, compared to the rest. It looks very odd, and is ruining the robo-tuff look

Other then that, I think it looks good, nice effects and good job on making the robot-look. Perhaps you could also make some flames coming from the car? Would give something extra to the destroyed environment and make the smoke fit more in.

Good work and cool idea. I'd work a bit more on the background to give it more of a "robo" feel. Also it desperately needs some adjustment layers on top I think, just to bring it together and make colors/shadow/light look more coherent. Currently it doen't really blend together with the background and looks too much like the robot and you are just stuck on. I'd use a tiny bit of subtle smudge tool on the edges of "you" as well. The edges are a bit hard.

There's a really good blending tutorial here: http://www.dubtastic.com/tutorials/b...p_blending.php

And yeah the blood is really off and needs more work. The wounds, scratches and blood in the faces are really well done though. I think you can do a lot more with this piece and it with some tweaking it could be fantastic.

Great start looks pretty insane! I'd like to see more work like this once you are done with this piece.

Anyone seen futurama? i think you should make the caption "Kiss my shiny metal ass" XD

Good work though, but for next time you should give the actual photography some thought. I realize this isn't a photograph but a photo manipulation, but with the extremety of the shot, the blood, the gore, the smoke, the anger, the malice, the hurt, the brute force... It's all held back by a really boring angle. And it's a shame because it looks like it could be really awesome and brutal, you've got it all except the angle which makes it less like a brutal photograph, and more like a screenshot from mortal combat. But please keep it up, soooo much potential in this shot, take 2 will blow us all from our chairs I'm shure ^_^
