[QUOTE=ChowderBowl;39037334]Prepare to be assaulted by a wall of text with absolutely no imagery.
Anywho, may I cut in and contribute possible lettering on the Battery Dalakohs Bar wrapper?

Tsalv Bar
(Russian word for power spelled backwards)
Ayigrene Bar
(Energy spelled backwards)
Dayraz Bar
(Charge spelled backwards)
[/QUOTE]
Tsalv Bar won't work at all, it means control power, not electric. The rest are fine

I think someone might have done this already, but I didn't realize that until halfway through, so I thought I'd just finish it

Here's the Dangeresque 2.0 I teased earlier on the Emporium:

Should have made it tiny CRT monitors with scanlines instead of shutters.

Dear God, yes please.
Then we just need a Robo-Pan and a Robo-Targe.

I'm sorry I so Google Translate.
Thanks.

Tempting, but nah.

Wow, slow night in robo-world, eh? Well here's an update! The Dangeresque 2.0 now covers Robo-Demo's eye, and also has a less wonky AO bake. Who wants to texture [B]THIS:[/B]

[QUOTE=ChowderBowl;39037334]
And the Robro-
Actually. What the hell would the Robro even be?
The Mann Co / Human Robro is a small robotic thing that floats about your shoulder and is programmed to follow you about.
If we translated that to Grey Co / Robot, we'd have a small human that floats about your shoulder and is forced to follow you about.
And that seems a bit... Well... Impossible to do.
So, how can we sensibly translate the Robro?[/QUOTE]

This has been bugging me throughout the whole thing. It's [u]not[/u] reversed, it's just how the bots would build it. They're not going to be using human parts or any other organic material to make their cosmetics and weaponry, they're just going to use the normal robro since it's already robotic enough, either that or much more makeshift and malfunctioning.

For another example, the Steel Jaw of Summer Fun doesn't need a counterpart since it's already robotic enough, it's made of cheap metal and is bolted to their face to keep it on, the robots can build this and the mercs most likely have it because of the robots.

Improving.

Could anyone come up with something really clever to replace the winding key on the bottom?

[Metaru]

a valve?

I'm liking the square design, it has its similarities but stands out as different, not all the robo items should look almost the same.

[light dasher]

May I claim making a concept of Le' Inspectuer and Roosebelt?

Also I think the Spy Voodoo doll should be left as it is.

[MilesPyrower]

Even though it wouldn't be a robotic replacement of an existing item, the old money food secondary for heavy that someone made, though I can't remember who, may work well since the robots are fueled by money.

A test compile for the medic's mirror:

[img]http://manschitz.com/projects/tf2/preview_mirror.jpg[/img]

It still clips a little with the medic's head and a little more with the medic bot. I'm probably going to fix the clipping and smoothing tomorrow.

And it's a bit different than the concept:

[img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6993235/Experimental/medic/Robotics/Gynaecologist%27s%20Flashlight.png[/img]

Should I make it more like the concept?

The strap looks too normal currently, try the wires or make it look like metal.

Noticed already...
[QUOTE=ChowderBowl;39037721]
I should begin reading first pages.
Apparently things that already posses a robotic theme shouldn't be worried about.
[/QUOTE]
...but thanks.

How would you folks like a very terribly done Robot's Col Roule concept that isn't too easy on the eyes, yet still portrays a concept?
[IMG]http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/ChowderBowl35/RobosColRouleConcept_zps92d7b913.png[/IMG]
The plates of metal are to jut slightly outward from the Spy's chest, similarly to the normal Col Roule.
I also noticed that I didn't make the cuffs team colored.

Fuck.

Also, Burning Bongo concept.

They're a trio of clunky, squarish, brownish/light-bluish speakers.
Say, something like this:
[IMG]http://cdn.instructables.com/FMI/PRIX/ZJQEV2ZBDKF/FMIPRIXZJQEV2ZBDKF.LARGE.jpg[/IMG]
I guess you could through some paint on it that make it slightly resemble the bongos.
Paint the top a beige color, add a stripe of green near the top, and paint the lower area a brown-red / light-blue.
