Brian.. Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 This is the third variation of the Republic Robot, Dr Satan. I believe the correct name of these robots is Volkites. There was plenty of variation in the design to make it interesting: the new conical head, a back fin, a huge machine gun, a wonderful sun pattern on the chest and plenty of pipework. A close look at the movie stills show that it has a dazzle paintwork scheme that has been completely lost in black and white. It looked complicated until I realised that the prop maker had simply taken a large triangular piece of card and sprayed around it in various positions. One other neat feature is the gun mounting hook on the side. Very useful for holding your weapon when you're not busy destroying mankind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
