Cobra Island autonomous security? Hell yes. Maybe even with a mine dispersal function for area denial?

If you want it to get darker, make it a cyborg along the lines of Kain in RoboCop 2.


And it gets better!

I'm impressed with the way they move. With a tactical repaint, the dart launcher one could be badass!

Right with you on the repaint. Any number of real-world schemes would look good on these.


Too bad they're over a c-note.

VITAL STATS
HEIGHT: 10 INCHES TALL

CONTROLS: EASY TO USE WIRELESS R/C
HANDSET 2.4GHZ CHIP ALLOWS FOR OVER 59,999 ROBOTS TO BATTLE AT ONCE

I'd just like to see 2 battling, imagine red v blue and there's a 500 on each side?

I want a few of those! My kids and I would have a blast playing with them all around the house.

Other than price I heartily approve of their potential!

I finally found a shot to give you a sense of scale:

Yes, if they hit Target shelves, after Christmas is the way to go. ;)

Amazon has 'em for a hunnit and free shipping, but I'd love to see them at b&m retailers.



I'm thinking Joe weapons would look good on them, maybe give it a Berlin Urban paint job...


Nice find, nice find.

Thanks for the compliment.

I would build buildings out of those foam building bricks. Use dollhouse wax glue so when the robots battle the buildings can come crashing down.

Nice, except for the head. The original piece is much better.

alright damnit...too much awesomeness here...I'm going to build a scale "map" for these things so i'm going to get started...

What scale do you think these should be? 1:18th might be too much of an endeavor, but what scale would look right for buildings and stuff...I was thinking matchbox cars and scaling it from there. Thoughts?

Almost posted the black one, but it looked like a quickie DIY job. Surprised you didn't post the chrome one. "EHRMRGD, SkY Patrol Attacknid!11two!1"

These things would be War of the World tripod sized against matchbox cars. :)


Here it is against army men:

Looks like some Joes leaned up against the back wall to the left of the door. About knee tall.

Yeah, knee high would be right for a Joe-killing deathbot. :D

I thought the unsprayed red areas made it Cobratastic. ;)

The green one in the grass gives a good idea of how good these can look with little effort. Add some weathering and detail to that bitch!

The more I see, the more I want...for my kids...yeah, that's it.

I would customize one for a couple figures to ride along and give it a weathered/battle damaged paint job. I really dig the dart "gatling" gun.
