Ah yes, the stories. Plenty of those lying around, Steve.
Blips are minifig scale, kind of a general purpose messenger/security unit. They
talk in machine code. Some of them have outrageous weapon upgrades, which ought
to unbalance them, but somehow don't (it's the future, remember). The 'unarmed'
ones can still deliver a static discharge to any potential foes, so they're not
machines to be trifled with.
When several Blips get together, they form a crude collective mind, and can get
quite nasty with unauthorised visitors.
As a side note, I've been building these things for more than ten years, design
unchanged. They're really good fun to play with, so the design has endured
(colours have gotten more funky, though). Recently I've been able to get hold of
some kabaya slave 1s, which gave me sand green joystick bases (and yummy chewing
gum).

I'm still waiting for another tan joystick base, though. Damn, those things are
rare.
And anyone is welcome to borrow the design, of course...I look forward to seeing
any groovy colour schemes you may come up with.
