Description
Anybody who's ever seen the Chase will likely tell you about the Mechanoids. A group of human-built robots sent to an alien planet to prepare it for human colonisation, they were forgotten about and consequently, when human actually arrive, no one knew the Mechanoids' programming language anymore and so the robots refused to recognise them. The Chase ends with them going toe to toe with the Daleks and everything goes up in flames.

Which is a nice idea, really. Unfortunately...well...they don't look like anything that could ever build a city, much less fight off an invasion by Daleks (then again, this is the Chase, which was more or less an excursion by the Skaro Choral Society than anything else...) with *flamethrowers*.

Yet, there is something rather charming out the rotund stutterers...so I made it my goal to make them somehow practical. And give them a slightly modern, iPod twist. Blame watching a play-through of Portal. I plan to make various smaller varients, designed for the housework. This one, however, is the straight up update.

So let me present the WIP model of the Menoid Industries all-purpose construction mechanoid!

The mechanoids were Terry Nation's idea....I don't think he's to blame for the actual design...
