I agree....May I have permission to add the hoverbot to
my collection of Misc. space characters?
I like the comedic aspects of a couple of your
creations...I haven't experimented w/ robots in years...
Gee....and I thought I was original...lol...your first
gray robot is almost exactly what I used to make....I
even have 20 of them in storage somewhere....my only
difference was that I used a 2x2x2 gray landing gear
piece for added height and I didn't use the 1x2 on
top....I made a variant of the cyclops model by
inserting 2 1x1 trans yellow plates perpendicular (in
between the grooves to give a more friendly comedic
look....
I derived my inspiration from Lost in Space episodes
that were aired late at night when I was a child. I
made a similar version resembling the robots in Disney's
black hole....I always wanted to build a red Maximillian
from that movie....
I even took a swing at a Doctor Who Dalek when PBS in
Buffalo started airing it in 1979....I used a 2x3
gray/blue brick w/ a 2x2 slope and 1x2 gray gun behind
it. I added a couple 1x2 plates to even it up, then a
turntable a 1x2 center stud plate and a gray closed clip
w/ translucent 1x1 plates connected to form the eye....
okay enough of my early "nerdom"
