I started making the smaller of the robots just to work with the bones tool again in 3DSM. So far it's been okay although I haven't tried any animation with it yet. This is a just my first attempt so it's still very basic.

The reason why I chose robots (apart from the obvious that they're kickin' rad) is because this will mean I won't have to do any voice acting which can be very time consuming. Instead I can synthesize there own language to drive the plot. This will also mean people will understand it no matter what language they speak, which I took under consideration as I've recently been watching a lot of Spanish animation.
