We've waited 30 years for a fully working tooth-o-pedia, so I'm happy to wait a wee while longer. I'd rather it was done well than quickly. The summer disappearing act was a diferent matter. Would it have ben impossible to e-mail active boarders to let them know? (ignore me if this has been hashed out elsewhere) At the time, I was abroad for a month and I thought maybe Rebellion had gone bust and had all kinds of dark imaginings such as the prog folding for good. Eventually i found the refugee community at 2000adreview though, and all was well!

PAGE 2 Damage Report....... ITS In small Writing under the disclaimer,

I find this really annoying! I wish I could ignore it, but every prog, there I am squinting and gurning away to read some teeny-tiny gossip and cliquey in jokes that surely only mean something to a handful of people (who no doubt find it hilarious). No offense if you're one of the blessed inner circle!

I guess it's just that empty feeling when you get to the end of the prog and have even read the letters (unless you're Buttonman who I imagine works in reverse!) and you flick back desperately seeking some crumb of thrill-power that you've overlooked. You read Tharg's burblings and then all that's left.....

Well at least it doesn't take up any room and don't do no harm. I just wish I'd never noticed the damn thing in the first place!

If anyone gave it a moment's serious thought, it will be apparent that what will obviously happen on Wednesday is that a hole will be punched through to an alternate Earth.

From Thursday onwards, I would advise everybody to be on the lookout for their evil counterparts, who will probably have goatee beards or dress like dominatrices. If you already have a goatee beard or dress like a dominatrix, you're basically screwed.

If you have a goatee beard AND dress like a dominatrix, get help.

Votes appear to have dried up, so go here for the results and semis!

The Democratic Dozen have voted and the results of the quarters are as follows:

RO-JAWS v Dr FEELYGOOD
The doctor is struck off as scum rises to the top by a narrow margin - RO-JAWS WINS (7-5)

TOBY v MONGROL
Mongrol smush! The hound is put down - MONGROL WINS (8-4)

JOE PINEAPPLES v WALTER the WOBOT
No contest. N&V. A1. Cwipes! PINEAPPLES WINS (10-2)

HAMMERSTEIN v CARLOS SANCHEZ ROBOSTOGIE
In the shock upset of the contest, the mighty Mk III War Droid is defeated by a small hispanic cigar! STOGIE WINS (7-5)

Thanks to one and all for some great robo-nostalgia there. Many I'd forgotten, several I feel a need to revisit sometime soon!  

Nobody cared to mention Armoured Gideon, Metalzoic or Maniac 5; and of the ABC warriors, nobody voted for Steelhorn, Morrigun, Happy Shrapnel or Blackblood.

I have put through to the quarter-finals all the droids that received more than one vote. The total was actually nine, so one had to be excluded to make things work. After careful deliberation, I decided that Torque-Armada, whilst being admittedly very cool, is the least robot-like - It's a manned seige engine that happens to move on its own, rather than a robot. Sorry to Cosh & Tordelback there!

So, the pairings, for no particular reason:

RO-JAWS vs DR FEELYGOOD
TOBY vs MONGROL
JOE PINEAPPLES vs WALTER
HAMMERSTEIN vs CARLOS SANCHEZ ROBOSTOGIE

Honourable mention to King Trout's suggestion of Tom Frame, lettring droid supreme. to whom I'll dedicate this poll!

VOTE NOW!!!!

Hey, I didn't say I wanted it FIXED!

I like the face! If Anderson is in her 50s, most artists tend to depict her as very well preserved! (that age didn't seem right to me -  I imagine her pretty young in Bolland's first depiction in Judge Death, but then I was forced to admit that that was 28 years ago!
:cry:

Still loving the pic - a second elbow pad will help define that tricky elbow.

They could do worse than buying up the Dredd and Rogue Trooper boardgames from Games Workshop while they are at it and giving them a revamp.

LISTEN TO THIS MAN!

I loved them games!  

they promised to get me a copy and it will be in my file the next time i'm in

You have your own file in the local comic store? How cool is that?  

I try to avoid my local comic megatsore as all my money seems to get mysteriously sucked out of my pocket -  subscribing keeps me honest and solvent!

Wow! I'd forgottem about all those cool Verdus robosts - Boots, BO, smokin' Joe - I really must search out a copy of that first Robohunter series, it was excellent (but became dire ever afterwards, IMHO!)

Or somebody's forgotten to set the clocks! Have you noticed that once submitted, posts appear half an hour or so in the past? Spooky!
