Target Acquired-Die Humanoid

When you want to takeout annoying humans, robots with no feelings or morals are always a good choice.
Such as the venerable, Atomo-Acme-Arms (A-A-A) 2099 LZY-1 mobile lazgun sentry.
She may be old, but LZY-1 is still reliable and able to put nice round holes though up to 40cm of steel. 
With a fully charged powerpack LZY-1 is good for up to two Solar hours of heavy fire (one hour if defensive shields are used). LZY-1 is a perfect, cost effective, choice for colonial frontier patrol duty where Imperial Space Fleet forces are not immediately available. 
Now A-A-A's new Cylon Prototype MK A-VIII is another story entirely. For while LZY-1 does need programing by local defense forces, the Cylon Prototype MK A-VIII is a fully self-aware unit with the latest 22nd century A-A-A Self Learning AI with the patented "Direct Obliteration Mechanic" (D.O.M.). 

D.O.M. allows the unit to engage and destroy enemies on sight at their discretion. Thereby freeing the field commanders to address the needs of the entire battlefield instead of micromanaging each Cylon Prototype MK A-VIII field unit with constant operational command updates.
Just point your Cylon Prototype MK A-VIII towards the enemy and let them rampage their way to victory!
There's is no need to worry about power, as the Cylon Prototype MK A-VIII is equipped with the patented Optimized-Overcharges-Power-Source (O.O.P.S.) that will keep your unit in peak combat performance for 50 Solar years without a recharge. The Cylon Prototype MK A-VIII is ready for mass production that will drastically reduce cost, so don't wait, you can be sure you opponents won't! 
Both are old 1970's metal pieces from Grenadier that I freshened up recently.

Emergency Robots of the 22nd Century

Mobile Hospital Robot, Dedicated Onsight Casualty (D.O.C.) ME-8 has seen many years of combat and EMT service.
For sure he is showing his age, but on the Space frontier new medical units are few and far between. 
So, D.O.C. ME-8 may be a little "long in the tooth," he continues to serve those in medical need on the lonely colony of Betelgeuse IV.

Gas Automatic Suppression Pod (G.A.S.P.) HT-6 is the latest model of fire control robot from Fire Industries & Robotics Engineering Co. Nova Peking, Alpha Centauri.  
The G.A.S.P. HT-6 is small yet extremely powerful and is able to tackle gas fires in most colonial habitats and governmental building.
Completely autonomous, the G.A.S.P. HT-6 can detect and respond to fires within a six-klick radius without and human interaction needed.
For all your fire needs count on G.A.S.P. HT-6, the firefighters friend.
G.A.S.P. HT-6 and D.O.C. ME-8 are old metal Grenadier pieces from the 1970's.

Service Without A Smile

As a robot, Cleaning & Personal Service Unit 72 (CPSU72) has perfected his ability to slowly and somewhat poorly clean up the messes of his current slob...er...human master.
 
With his multiple arms, hands and attachments, CPSU72 always looks busy, even when he's not. As he thinks it, "the slower you are, the dirtier it gets, the more job security you have."

After a century of service, CPSU72 feels justified in slowing down in his duties.  He regrets that robots can't smile, for he would if he could. Instead, he internalizes his pleasure in fooling the dull humans who think he is slowing down due to his age. Little do they know he plans on outlasting his current owners, and slow down even more for his next master...why change a pattern that has served him well for centuries.
CPSU72 is an old Grenadier casting from the 1970's, that I found this morning and gave him a quick pain job.

My "I-Beam" will Beat Your Sword Everytime

Why bother using a sword when you can smash your opponent with a quarter ton I-Beam? This steam powered mortified war-creature has chosen just such a close combat weapon.

Steampunk is Our Reality

            Nothing says Steampunk like a mechanical bicycle with a 
       Gattling gun automaton and a lovely lady with a volcanic pistol.
These are plastic figures from Rise of Mologh that I painted in June of 2018.

Kali the Mechanica-Terror Encased in Metal





An angry Kali is bad enough-but Kali encased in a near indestructible steam powered boy is truly terrifying!  The necklace of human skulls is not just for looks...
as this Kali is under the direction of the Evil Mologh is his attempt to replace Victoria's Imperial Government as his first step for World Domination.
Mechanica Kali ia a plastic piece from the Rise of Mologh, World of Smog that I painted this month.

Space Assualt Team

In the future assualt team can be mixed man and robot as it is in this team on a battered space hulk.
These are rather poor metal 25mm pieces from Mini Fig.  I painted them in the 1970's.

Ready to Spring


Like a spring ready to pounce, this Cryx Erebus Helljack seems to ooze menace.
Razor sharp weapns and powerful armor make the Erebus a dangerous foe.


But something seems ... wrong with this warjack
For this Erebus is actually the prisoner of the Menoth Judiacator "Red Destruction." The Erebus is a metal and plastic piece from Privateer Press.
