Well thanks, I guess. He does have Marvin’s giant spherical head. And his droopy eyes. I guess that doesn’t really count in the “absolutely nothing like him.”

Wow, I must admit that my first thought was “that’s a pretty sweet ‘bot that kind of reminds me of Marvin” but to say he looks absolutely nothing like him is stretching things a bit.

Ah, but here’s where you’re wrong, Mr. Poopy-pants. Building a MOC that is an exact replica of something else is the hardest thing to do and (usually) requires the most creative and cunning use of bricks. Making a great representation of something is definitely the true mark of a master.
