see my guess about Silent Running was accurate. And the Astromech is obvious.
What's the middle one?

I'm partial to 25mm versions of these if your ambition gets sizable. (As a
plus, 25mm versions could be sold to the Robo Rally crowd as alternate
bots...)

I'm also partial to R5-D4, despite his bad motivator. The Gonk Power
Droid, on the other hand, is a bit silly.

Interesting other inspirational bots: 1) Bob and (name eludes me) from Black
Hole
2) Trade Federation Battle Droids/Super Battle Droids/Droideka destroyer
droids (the rolling ones) 3) Exterminate! (I shouldn't have to say any more
here!)
4) K-9 (I can't believe Jon hasn't done a version given his Britishness
and his appreciation for chicks in short leather like Leela of the Seva Team)
5) Moving red eyed cyborgs ("By your command, hot number six!") 6) HKs out of
Terminator 7) Modern bomb disarming bots using in the Big Sandbox

R2D2 and C3PO (WEG figs) have already made an appearance in Burden of Command
at ECC.... they're always getting into trouble, this time it was with
insurgents and WMDs.

As someone else pointed out, it's WALL-E. It makes sense now, but I
missed it when I saw the pics. (I didn't get a chance to see the movie,
either, so I'm waiting for the DVD.)

Yeah, here's another vote for "not-Terminators"! (The metallic type;
the human looking ones are easy to do with existing models.)

I've got several of the HK flyers and two squads worth of the humanoid
automatons. They look pretty good, even with my painting style. :-D

And I still maintain as bots it was perfectly alright to ask them to go back
in and check on the WMD.... Its not like they were flesh and blood
afterall - like the bratty 6th grader I wanted to leave behind...

Pour encourager les autres, n'est-ce pas?

Is there a missing Fulton on whom this policy was prototyped?
<*chuckle*>

And Droids have feelings too. You can't be mournful as R2 being left in the
swamp and not have feelings, or as Prissy as C3P0 in the forest or in the
desert... or anywhere.... without having some sort of emotive system...

My mother has been a teacher for 48 years.... 20 of those in a reform school.
I just watched from the side lines and picked up the odd nugget
;)

I didn't say they didn't have feelings, just not flesh and blood and the
briefing said minimal damage to the locals it didn't mention sacrificing
grunts to mollycoddle a couple of droids....;)

G'day,

Been in the field so sorry for the slow reply.

> So she's well on her way to sainthood then?

Something like that;)

> So how *did* you meet your husband? ;-)

I fell off a waterfall and he was at the bottom (and I'm not joking).
