I’m willing to bet that these robots were influenced in large part by Cyborg 009 — as I recall, in volume 1 of that manga, there were robots that looked very reminiscent of gray men in armor. However, my bots here are not pure Ishinomori: in them I can also see bits gathered from a whole misty childhood of robot baddies…
Nice touch!
They kind of remind me of Cylons. Cool.
Heya, Mike! Thanx for checkin’ it out! 🙂
Great design, the way the layout of the last panel helps convey the emotional content.
Their legs are similar to the legs of Fugitoid from TMNT.
Freaky coincidence only — I haven’t seen that character. (At least not that I recall!)
