A person with no preconceived ideas of what an assassin robot should look like can come up with a better design for one than someone who has known (and feared) IG-88 since infancy. I couldn't imagine any sort of assassin robot other than tall, black and humanoid with lots of red eyes, or else a little floating orb;
moonpower scribbled for five minutes and came up with a wonderfully '50s-flavoured little robot which was just perfect. I had my designing problem solved for me, and she got to see something she'd dreamed up take shape. I'm so glad this is a group effort.
Next step: wee spaceships. The nebula is still hanging over me.
