Star Wars basic Battle Droids and droideka.

I would like to see humanoid war-bots SIMILAR (not exact copies) of the now-forgotten robots of the LEGIO CYBERNETICA presented more than 20 years ago in White Dwarf and then republished in the WH40K COMPENDIUM (the softback bound red book),

I fondly remember the CASTELLAN, KATAPHRACT and CONQUEROR classes but remember there were other nifty ones as well!

That – as noted above – the old GW ones. I'd also like to see them in 28mm.

TeknoMerk09 Mar 2012 7:01 a.m. PST

Another vote for Battle Droids, Super Battle Droids, Droideka, Thinker Droid (from animated series), Probe Droid (regular and small sizes)

Androids (synthetic human): with some robot features; can distinguish from human, kind of like NS5 from "I, Robot".

Robots that do not look like humans, and with primary functions:
* engineering
* agricultural
* science: sensors, collectors, recorders
* construction

We can elaborate each one if there is interest.

GypsyComet09 Mar 2012 7:02 a.m. PST

Maximillian (VinCENT and BOB are a bit small for the scale)

Cacique Caribe09 Mar 2012 8:06 a.m. PST

Easy.

AMEE:

Eli Arndt09 Mar 2012 8:13 a.m. PST

Utilitarian robots (loader, repair, medical, administrative)
Androids
Battle droids
floating security droids

religon09 Mar 2012 8:42 a.m. PST

Star Wars pod racer crew droids also would be fun and useful outside of SW.

Grumpy Monkey09 Mar 2012 9:51 a.m. PST

I will second Cacique AMEE would be great

Crimelord09 Mar 2012 9:57 a.m. PST

Sentinels from the matrix….

Mako1109 Mar 2012 10:17 a.m. PST

3rd for AMEE.

New era Cylons, from the TV series, in various poses.

Some of the human-looking Cylons would be very nice too.

Samulus09 Mar 2012 11:26 a.m. PST

Cylons and various droids from Star Wars

Jovian109 Mar 2012 11:42 a.m. PST

Maximillian from "The Black Hole"

Folks looking for original series Cylons should check out Astro Miniatures. I have several of them and they are great.

They carry rifles and have the vented mouth. They do not have the skirts but how hard would that be to add if you wanted a more accurate look.

Maximillian and floating trashcan robots would be pretty cool. Both of the robots are good for both Black Hole recreations as well as more general space opera stuff. Painted in greys and dinged up they can make good Star Wars style droids.

1) AMEE, as mentioned above;

2) New BSG toaster Cylons would rock:

3) Also, someone needs to make 3-4 variants of 15mm versions of "Sentinels" or "Hoverfish":

I guess that's pretty much my list.

OctaChaz09 Mar 2012 12:08 p.m. PST

Star Wars Battle Droids would be awesome!

streetline09 Mar 2012 12:35 p.m. PST

Vincent and Bob are not too small… them and Max please.

Eli Arndt09 Mar 2012 12:40 p.m. PST

Ah come on!

Let's be honest with ourselves. We just want any of the awesome old school robots. grin

Might be tackled by the same miniature.

isdblues09 Mar 2012 3:14 p.m. PST

Any of the robots from the game "Paradroid". Classic, awesome designs.

arngrimson09 Mar 2012 3:57 p.m. PST

Walter the vending machine robot from Judge Dredd, the original A.B.C. Warriors, as many droids from Ro-Busters as possible.

Eli Arndt09 Mar 2012 5:42 p.m. PST

Sorayama type fembots might have a place in some settings and would be downright fun minis –

All the star wars driods both old and new. I do like the destroyers. ABC warriors. Kriton from White dwarf. Matrix Sentinels.

BlackWidowPilot Fezian10 Mar 2012 11:43 a.m. PST

Well, you can always start with this crew of mechanical spreaders of mayhem:

Another vote for Battle Droids, Super Battle Droids, Droideka, Thinker Droid (from animated series)

Another vote for these. Took a moment to register that last name, then I went… "Oh! Tactical Droid. Not Thinker." They're meant to be the upper echelon officers. Liaisons between the flesh and blood generals and Field commander versions of the B1s that fill in the platoon/company/battalion level commander posts.

Also, add to that list. The Crab and Commando droids from the animated series. Those Commando droids are pure bad ass.
