Description This piece is actually part of an upcoming submission piece, but it presents such an unobstructed view of the venerable Class A Seeker, I felt moved to post it.

You'll note from the blank circles on this Seeker's belly, that its already deployed its RTD's* the results of which will be visible upon completion of the aforementioned commission.

I'm going to go ahead and say that Seekers had interchangeable tentacle and manipulator modules that can be swapped out to mission and damsel specification. That way, I can best explain away why the keep constantly changing in appearance, until I can find on that lendas itself to repeated drawing, while still looking technical.

On this go-round, I gave the Seeker four-clawed manipulators with tape reservoirs that deploy through the claw tips. Also visible here is the third claw which deploys from the back of the drone.

I really should get to drawing one of these from above so you all can see its twin vertical stabilizer fins. Anyway, when you see this again, it won't be alone.

*RTD's: Restraint Tape Dispensers

You need to have this made soon, it must have a victim soon

Do you have any pictures of what this Seeker looks like on the inside (the part where it stored me for the ride to FMP last January)?

Seekers don't carry women internally. They transfer their captives to Damsel Drums which are then either carried inside, or attached to the wings of fast space ships for the trip to FMP.

British people in space with their space Brens maybe? Dunno *shrugs*

I'm guessing "Bren" is British slang for a type of gun?

It's an old-style light machinegun they used during WWII, just the humor in them using it in outer space was all I meant.

Yea, I know. I always got a kick out of they way they did that in the old cartoon.

I sometimes thing it would be fun to do a GI Joe: American History type thing, where we'd have Minute Men and Dougboys fighting in their respective settings, with ray beams belching from their muskets or maxims.

Oh, you're so shallow. Just because a robot's all metallic and betentacled, you deny its advances. (All it wants is a hug. )

All right, you probably want a cute robot. [link]

Speaking of hugs, whatever your CEASAR thingy did to me convinced me that the Seekers were giving me hugs.

They were. They were encasing you in them.

"Encasing" me in hugs? A hug isn't a physical "thing" that you can "encase" someone in...

Yessir,

Though I guess they are only causally related (in that they have three major appendages and float).

I like your design better though

Wikipedia to the rescue again.

Man that is one freaky machine. I love how different various executions of a similar concept can appear.

I quite enjoy the design ethos for all of the Fallout universe, but I'm a sucker for retro-future kinda stuff

Marvellous pic ^^

Totally love the classic seeker design ^^
Good luck finding a layout/set-up that suits multiple drawings

Hope to see a pic from above too ^^
Looking forward to the commission.

I love the way the tape stretches between the prongs of the manipulator arms. It always seems to be threatening to me, like just the position screams "I'm coming to get you..." :3
