I love the use of the sectant peices on the robocat - I am sure there
are very few who would have thought of that. Crunkbot looks like a
bouncer or heavy for a robot club. The Crimson Finch is spectactular -
an M-tron themed bot. For some reason kojonz reminded me of the HEV in
Halflife - although the scale is different, I think the occupant looks
like a minifig Freeman. The Omnidroid has a certain omenous threat
about it - reminds me of something out of The War Of The Worlds (the
ones with cages on their backs).
For those who didn't see the space stuff, take a look at the joust -
thats an interesting bot he is mounted on too - reminds me of Panzer
Dragoon.
I think what is most impressive is the detail and greebling Angus has
acheived at the scale he is working in.
What do you reckon chewy would play though? Bangin hardcore or heavy
metal? Or possibly a heavy version of calypso (if you could imagine
such a thing!).
Good stuff Angus.
