WIP - Biotron

It seemed proper to have a go at making this chap, given that I'd already done Microtron and given how well he and Biotron went together in Marvel's Micronauts comics (almost as well as a certain other shiny humanoid/trundling wheelie bin coupling in George Lucas's little-known space opera from a while back).

The Biotron toy, known as "Robotman" in Japan, was designed as a mech suit with a canopy for a Microman/Micronauts pilot, while Marvel portrayed him as a regular old robot not much bigger than the human characters. Super7 have recently released an action figure very faithful to the original toy but at the same scale as regular Micronauts figures, which is a first and fits better with the comics portrayal. It also follows the trend of taking action figures of yesteryear and making versions much closer to the comic and animated versions (and parting grown-up kids from their pocket money - these toy companies know exactly what they're doing!)

This version's not finished, of course. I'll be posting him on here again once he's got some rigging and better detail, including a mouth!
