LOL! At least it's better than the questionable gold-grey paintjob. |

Ha! I love it too! Everyone looks good in black formal. |

Have you seen the well to do up and down Park Avenue
On that famous thouroughfare with their noses in the air
High hats and Arrow collars, white spats and lots of dollars
Spending every dime for a loveley time If you're blue and don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Different types who wear a day coat, pants with stripes
And cutaway coat, perfect fits
Puttin' on the Ritz dressed up like a million dolar trooper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper
Super duper Come on let's mix where Rockefallas walk with sticks
Or "um-ber-ellas" in their mitts
Puttin' on the Ritz Strolling down the avenue so happy
All dressed up like an English chappie
Very snappy you'll declare it's siply top thing to be there
And hear them swapping smart tidbits

Irving, welcome to TMP! We could use some tone around here. And is that Noel Coward I see in the doorway? |

"The big Gold Mech is back!!!" And dressed to kill. |

If he's dressed to kill then lets oblige him! |

Funny…I hear that song and the scene from "Young Frankenstein" pops into my head…. |
| PeteMurray | 12 Dec 2005 6:57 a.m. PST |
My favorite version of "Puttin' on the Ritz" is the one from the Jeeves and Wooster episode where Stephen Fry tells Hugh Laurie where to put the accents. "Ah, indeed! Thank you, Jeeves!" |
| Steve Flanagan | 12 Dec 2005 7:49 a.m. PST |
Am I missing something, or is that the same photo with the black tie rig added in Photoshop? |

Murphy:
"Funny…I hear that song and the scene from "Young Frankenstein" pops into my head…." I was thinking the same thing. Ughh ugh ugh ugh. |

Oh great, coffee spatter all over the monitor again! Geeze, I hate it when that happens. |

Much better but, I still want him melted dowm for some 6mm infantry. Al |

Well, I guess "mister" robot is a welcome fellow again. First class! |
| Ridethelightning | 12 Dec 2005 9:51 a.m. PST |
Well, he sure isn't growing on me. This robot remains one of the ugliest minis I've ever seen (and I've seen way too much of him already). They say that everyone looks good in a tux. Well, TMP has just proved that saying wrong ;-) |
| Cosmotiger | 12 Dec 2005 10:00 a.m. PST |
Gold and White Robot goes to all the effort to get dressed up for us, and all you guys do is criticize! Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a 75 foot tall tux? |
| Arteis | 12 Dec 2005 10:17 a.m. PST |
Ridethelightning: If you didn't like him in a tux, there are a few pics of him which you might like a tad better on this thread from a few day ago: TMP link |
| Steve Flanagan | 12 Dec 2005 10:26 a.m. PST |
Ah, so it was 'shopped, by Mel Ebbles. Mind you, I'm sure Bond wouldn't be so tasteless as to wear a red cummerbund. |
| Ridethelightning | 12 Dec 2005 10:39 a.m. PST |
Thanks Arteis, I hadn't seen them… Whatever else one may think about the bot, he has definitely been good for a lot of laughs. With so much dissing, laughing, photoshopping and what have you going on, we're in danger of having the bot become a mascot for the site. Now there's a scary thought… Or maybe not ;-) |

You guys just CAN'T let it go, can you? 8)= |
| Historicalgamer | 12 Dec 2005 11:40 a.m. PST |
Since he is now dressed for a gala New Year's Eve party, does this mean we all have to look at him until then????? Yikes !!! |
| MelEbbles | 12 Dec 2005 12:36 p.m. PST |
Heh, I was really surprised to see my James Bot submission on the front page of TMP.  -Mel |

Steve Flanagan: "Ah, so it was 'shopped, by Mel Ebbles. Mind you, I'm sure Bond wouldn't be so tasteless as to wear a red cummerbund." It's not just a tacky red cummerbund, it's Q's latest invention: the discreet emergency escape parafoil! -Mel |
| Neotacha | 12 Dec 2005 3:48 p.m. PST |
I think it's kinda cute now, in the little tux and all. Nice job, Mel. |

ROFLMAO- Its nice to know we have an Editor who listens so carefully to his audience: I now will have to paint an entire phalanx of Mechs in Tux 7 Tail…. |

Neotacha: "I think it's kinda cute now, in the little tux and all. Nice job, Mel." Thanks! -Mel |

The tux is an improvement for sure! At least Bill didn't use Polynikes' version:

| PaintMinion | 13 Dec 2005 3:01 p.m. PST |
I like it, but still…this guy strikes me as the laid back sorta mech, not a top hat sorta guy. He needs a Hawaiian shirt and surf shorts. |
| Arteis | 13 Dec 2005 11:43 p.m. PST |
Don't say that too loud, PaintMinion … you might get what you want! |
