Robot Workshop
![]() Okay, another new workshop, but this is my last one for a while, I promise! Part of the reason I'm starting this up is that we're gonna be wrapping up a reevaluation on Mad Thinker shortly. For a long time, his general bustedness dictated what was and wasn't doable for an Android design, so reining him in is gonna open up a lot of design space! But the trade-off is that he'll be a bit less of an Android hub. Some people have been disappointed about it being harder to put a robot army together, so I thought it would be worth firing up a workshop here to kick off some brainstorming - mainly with the goal of generating some new Android synergies to keep robo-dudes hitting the table, but designs for robot characters that aren't introducing any synergy are also welcome. I've got a Monica Chang design here that probably qualifies, and I think japes has a DC inventor or two up his sleeve that'll fit here (which he may or may not want to share). Here are the current Androids and Android Interactions, for reference. |

Re: Robot Workshop
We have at least on On Deck figure that likes having Androids around and the other two I could see are T.O. Morrow and Professor Ivo. I have a few write-ups hanging around that I could go through and post out here to see if anyone wants to grab onto any of it.
Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those. |

Awesome. Mini ideas?

Re: Robot Workshop
That is a bummer. He's got a very specific look, too (and I imagine the other ABC Warriors are similarly stylized).

Re: Robot Workshop
Yeah, Soundwarp helped with a few suggestions for mods. Blackheart looks possible, as well as Deadlock. I was holding out for the metal minis and now that it seems like a possibility, they are no longer available.
I think this may have something to do with Rebellion acquiring 2000AD rights, not sure. Hopefully they come back. Johnny Alpha (Strontium Dog) has new figures, so I am hopeful. I believe that is Mongoose. |

Re: Robot Workshop
Definitely keep us updated if there are any developments on the minis for them - if they get a new run of minis, I might snatch em up before they have a chance to go out of production again.
On A.B.C. Warriors, the power, did you want him to be able to jettison his OMs and put them on a different card when he gets destroyed? That would require some wording tweaks. |

Re: Robot Workshop
Honestly I do not know what I was going for there. I guess I was just trying for a non-bonding, non-attack-boosting power.
He leads a group of seven robots generally. He is the pure essence of soldier/leader type. Very much Captain America or Duke from GI Joe in robot form. |

Re: Robot Workshop
The OM stuff is cool, but it would probably be stronger if there were some Android sidekicks or something.
The OM rearrangement definitely has kind of a 'super tactician' vibe to it. |

Re: Robot Workshop
I got this guy in a random set of Clix. Never heard of him before, but he's a giant screw-off robot so I'm into it.
