Lately, I haven't had much time for building because all of my spare time has been put toward completing the game Kid Icarus: Uprising(which is awesome, by the way!).
This little guy has been sitting on my shelf for a while now. I haven't even been able to think of a cool name or career for him. I was thinking that he could be an ammunition handler of some kind. I don't know why you would need four arms for that job, but I guess four arms are better than two.
STROBIST
One YN-568C on stroboscopic mode (4 flashes per sec, 20 flashes, 1/16 power) in a Honl Traveller 8 softbox -- a little styrofoam reflector is placed on the other side. The flash is triggered via RF-602 modules.

EXIF
5d3, 24-70 f/2.8 on f/10 and on 38 mm; 5 sec, ISO 100; tripod and a dark room ...
NOTES
There is a chopstick fixated to the robot arm with gaffer tape, so I could move the robot sort of remotely :-))

Here is my interpretation of Artakha, the legendary creator.

This is my entry into the ttv canon contest, I'd love to have your vote!
Rampax is from a series of six 5" plastic robots made by CGGC in Italy. They were sold in kit form and had to be assembled. I don’t know when they were first produced, but I was given the individually boxed Rampax in 1985.
The six robots were not completely different, but shared components such as arms, legs and feet. These pieces were all interchangeable and it seems that some were randomly packed out, so the makeup of specific robots was inconsistent. Each robot had two distinct, spring launched weapons. The long weapon for the bent right arm protruded from the elbow and hooked in place; pushing up on the hook launched the weapon. The left arm had a mechanism in the shoulder that held the weapon in place while the arm was down, but launched the devise when the arm was raised.
The robots were also distributed in France by a company named Remus, which sold them in two sets of three. The French packaging was quite different from the Italian boxes that I’ve seen, but the plastic parts were still molded in Italy. Again, I have no idea of the original time line for these, but I obtained an incomplete set in 1991.
Five of the robots - Drakis, Torang, Fergus, Argon and Rampax - kept their names for both Italian and French issues. The sixth one, originally Satan in Italy, was renamed Mirox in France. I guess that the French didn’t want kids playing with the devil.
To end it all, here is a smattering of leftover pictures. There are still more robots though, as apparently we are moving into Transformers Week next...
I designed this fun, little guy for the Between The Pages blog. betweenthepagesblog.typepad.com/between-the-pages-blog/
This is a little "Made in speed" MOC.
I find some Mixels 1st serie (hard to find in France) and when I begin to assembly one of them I saw this Iron builder part... lets try another use of the joint cavity :)
Enjoy !
sometimes I do small and personal commissions for nice people who just want me to draw a thing for them - #Jon Boam #Drawing
Ok um this is a bunny robot
I made the head like a month ago and firday i desiced to do the body , took me like 4-5 hours to do the body xD was so hard
Yet not satisfied! i shouldnt made it robotish! should have been a normal cute plushie , but then again its a good try xD next time no robot , or maybe no body just head keychain or something
--------
Things I </3 about it is that.. its tooo flixibal and was supposed to be stiff =.= i blame the robotic arms and legs lol.
"Robby the Robot is so alone
Robby doesn't want to be so lonesome
He's looking for a robot bride with silver gray eyes
To kiss her, to touch her, and to screw on her."

ESA astronaut candidate Raphaël Liégeois from Belgium during a robotics session as part of his basic astronaut training at ESA’s European Astronaut Centre, near Cologne, Germany.
The first building block of International Space Station robotics training in the curriculum of ESA’s 2022 astronaut candidate class is called GRAVI-T training.
During this session, they delve into generic robotic training, focusing on learning how to manipulate the Canadarm2 robotic arm.
Robotic arms on the Station are used to grab and berth cargo vessels such as Japan’s HTV and the Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus. They can also help astronauts during spacewalks by moving an astronaut strapped to the end of the arm to hard-to-reach places on the outside of the International Space Station. It can even replace a spacewalk altogether.
Under the supervision of instructors at the Astronaut Centre, the candidates use the Dynamic Skills Trainer, a console training tool, to operate the robotic arm within a simulated environment.
In addition, the astronaut candidates undergo virtual reality sessions to gain a better understanding of the 17-metre-long robotic arm's operations aboard the Station.
ESA’s newest class of astronauts, including Sophie Adenot, Rosemary Coogan, Pablo Álvarez Fernández, Marco Sieber, and Raphaël, commenced basic astronaut training in April 2023. The group was selected in November 2022.
The one-year training provides an overall familiarisation and training in various areas, such as spacecraft systems, spacewalking, flight engineering, robotics and life support systems. They go through survival and medical training before receiving ESA astronaut certification in spring this year.
After certification, they will move on to the next phases of pre-assignment and mission-specific training, paving the way for future missions to the International Space Station and beyond.

This robot was a bit creepy because it always turned its head in the direction someones face was. It felt much more personal by trying to advertise to you by looking with it's cute big eyes into your from down there.
