I don't know why, but that narrator's voice makes me think that's what Nether's voice sounds like in R/L.
Poor Rusty, poor Nether.

I voted numero uno because he looks smarter than the other two!!!

That's how I saw them too. I mean.... look at them... they are so large and so thin! They gotta be robots :P

It fits with the Deathreavers too, being the exceptionally large robot rats they are.

I voted "The Silver Paw".

He looks the most evil.

When I first got these guys i just sat there looking at them for five minutes.

They're my favorite sculpts. (Next to Q9 and Brunak)

i like the #2 the other look like they cant bend their elbows or knees.

Wire Head aka Roadkill Resurrection has my vote. I find the wires sticking out of his head very awesome looking.

[Hahma]

I like #2. Just seems meaner and more substantial.

[Joah]

Wire-head gets my vote.

I was able to get my hands on the last set of these at GenCon.

I honestly wasn't that excited about any of the sculpts. I took a break in my hotel room and busted them out.

Then I went and registered for the win-a-wave that night.

Thanks to Buddy Lee I was able to run the first Glad/Blast combo in a tourney formatt.

I was doing great until I met RY in the final game.

Thanks again BL!

These guys are huge! The Swog Rider looked small compared to the Marro Hounds, but compared to these guys it looks like a house cat! And also something I noticed is that their heads seem to be varying sizes. Number 1's head is really small, number 3's head is too large. Number 2 looks just right. I like the way his robotic parts look too, cept that silver paw, but other then that he is my favorite of the three sculpts.

And I agree about these figures looking all robotic with fur placed over their cybernetic skeletons. At least on numbers 1 and 3. On 2 though, he looks more wolf with robotic parts attached.

I agree with this, but oddly it was #2 that first led me to believe they were robots in wolves clothing instead of cyborgs. If you take a look at his lower jaw, you can see it's exposed metal. What's more interesting is that it goes straight back and up instead of expanding to the sides. That looks more to me like it attaches to a single hinge in the back rather than two hinges on the side of the head. While the single hinge would be far superior for a machine designed to clamp, tear and shred something (like a pair of pliers), it would be a major hinderance if the poor wolf actually had to eat something.

And... now I've certainly over analyzed that....

I went with Half n Half. I dig his pose. It's as if he's locked onto a target.

Speaking of Soulborgs, I wonder what level of intelligence they have. I always looked at Utgar's Soulborgs as unquestioning and unthinking, Jander's Snipers as able to think independantly or even talk and Vydar's robots as the supreme high intelligence Soulborgs.

[Thor]

I've always imagined Utgar's soulborgs behaving like the animals they are while the bipedial ones on his, Jandar, and Vydar's side are all of equal or greater intelligence then man. They are called SOULborgs after all, so they can't just be dumb robots like the Battle Driods in Star Wars.
