    The Rampaging Robot!

    So, I was really hot on CTVT's second wave of Mad Monsters, so I decided to make up some of my own. This is THE RAMPAGING ROBOT more GORT than Terminator.



    The arms came from a Toy Story toy (The Claw!!!) and a Batman Animated glider thing. The head I am especially proud of, came from Rock 'Em Sock 'em robots. I think I may use it again for Robot Man from the Doom Patrol.



    He has a quick and dirty swivel neck that allows him to look down on puny humans and look up at...uh, puny humans hiding in trees. Aka...The BK shot.



    Are you there, God, it's me, hunter-killer model #187.

    I was really stressed out about posting something and not looking like an idiot, so, by all means tear me a new one!

    Mina is the world's first Paranormal Petsitter in the new middle-grade book series by Gary Buettner, MONSTER PETS, coming in FALL 2014 from EMBY KIDS. Spooky adventure that's perfect reading for kids 8-12

    Very creative use of parts, I totally love it. He has such a 50s feel to him

        That is a really cool idea adding a robot to the monster line. Very well done.

          he is cool as hell. He seems like something I would have been able to order in the back of Famous Monsters magazine. Clever use of the rock sokem head

                          Awesome! Dig the Rock em Sock em Robots head.
                          You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...
