Continuing my look at my recently purchased figures from Warlord Games'
Doctor Who range I move forward in time to review the Emojibots. These appeared in the second episode of the tenth series of the reboot called
Smile.
The Emojibots were robots who served as avatar interfaces to the sentient microbots, the Vardy. Their purpose was to ensure the humans on the off-world colony Gliese 581d remained happy at all times. To monitor their moods, everyone wore a badge which reflected the person's mood through the language of emojis. Emojibots viewed unhappiness and grieving as anathema and would enlist the Vardy to kill those showing such negative emotions.
When the TARDIS arrives on the colony, the Twelfth Doctor and his companion, Bill Potts, are greeted by the Emojibots and given badges. After the Doctor comes to the shocking realisation that the colonists are being slaughtered and their bones used as fertiliser for the food supply their resultant upset is picked up by the Emojibots...
These figures are a lot smaller in size to the rest of this range, so would fit in well with 28mm scale figures. I could see them fitting in so well in Mega City One as part of a
Judge Dredd game. This set of three figures cost £13.00 and comes with six cards to use in the
Exterminate! game.
The one on the end doesn't look very happy Bryan :) I always find models like these have so many uses.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Frank. He's sad face. I, too, like models that have multiple uses.
Deletesinister looking creatures dude. I think the smiley one looks the scariest...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Andy. Personally, I find them all creepy.
DeleteGreat looking bots Bryan, was an interesting episode, that follows the train of thought that robots will eventually wipe out mankind ! And we still keep making them ! LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks kindly, Dave. You raise a good point.
DeleteI like these, especially the glum one.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Phil. Another fan for sad face!
DeleteI can see why hessadif he's going to be killed for it. Multi use figures and great for scenario's.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, John and my thoughts exactly.
DeleteHaha, those are cool. Reminds me of that robot in Fallout New Vegas.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Skully. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Fallout New Vegas but I'm sure you're right.
DeleteAnother welcome "Doctor Who" posting, Bryan, and some minis which are probably more use for other genres than the official rule-set? I wasn't a fan of either the episode or robots, but I can see them appearing in "Strontium Dog", or "Mega-City One" some time soon :-)
ReplyDeleteMost appreciated, Simon. Like you, I wasn't a big fan of the episode or the robots but transferring them to the likes of "Judge Dredd," "Strontium Dog" or even "Robo-Hunter" seems far better to me. With the imminent release of "The Robot Wars" supplement for the new Judge Dredd RPG it might not be too long before you see them in action.
DeleteI was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
My name is Olisa Blessing, I am so happy. I never believe I will be this happy again in life. I have worked as an air hostess ( cabin crew ) for 3years but early this year, I lost my job because of this deadly disease called Herpes virus (HSV).
ReplyDeleteI never felt sick or notice any symptoms. Not until the day all workers were asked to bring their current doctor's report card, that was how I got tested and I found out that I'm HSV positive and that made me lose my job because it was considered as an STD and is an incurable disease.
I was so depressed to the extent that I started thinking of suicide. I explained my situation to an aged friend of mine, who often said to me 'a situation shared is a problem half solved.
She felt so compassion for me that she referred me to Dr. Utu Herbal Cure, that was how I contacted Dr. Utu and got the medication from him and was cured for real.
I went back to my work a month later with a HERPES NEGATIVE test result. They were astonished and curious when they saw my HSV NEGATIVE result so they carried out another test on me in the company lab to be very sure and they found out I am indeed a HERPES VIRUS FREED PERSON.
Finally, the initial HERPES POSITIVE result was replaced with a new HERPES NEGATIVE test result, and my position was given back to me with an apology letter and a salary increase.
Beware of impersonators,
Dr. Utu can only be reached at:
