Battle Cyborg LS3000Xby *Yuni

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Sci-Fi

"This cyborg's unique construction based on the concepts derived from contortionism allows to combine a subtile humanoid figure of a seventeen y/o dancing queen with the ability to transport a powerful laser cannon. All joints designed with maximum mobility in mind, allowing for transportation of the cyborg in a small box.

We studied many living forms and concluded that the human figure is the only form that supports a wide range of transformations that we may find useful--from standing straight on the feet to folding into a compact turtle-like shape that easily fits in a box about 50 times smaller than a soldier's sleep capsule, which will allow to significantly decrease the size of our transporting vessels, as well as increase the amount of cyborgs on board.

This support for any kinds of contortions prevents them from breaking and the subtile form of a teenager girl as well as the mobility and speed make them a very difficult target for rocket launchers; their bones are made of laser reflectors, so laser cannons would only possibly damage the artificial skin, but not the internals. The skin is fairly easily repairable.

The intellectual abilities of this model are based entirely on pre-programmed algorithms with no illegal Artificial Intelligence modules included; all the battle programs are fully certified, so it is impossible that this model will ever rise against its own creators.

The model is still in development, the battle abilities so far haven't really been tested, although this model has been very popular among our brave soldiers since its very first build, and specially after it was programmed to mimic the performances of the world's most famous contortionists."

Infiltrating and killing has never been so elegant. Good work!

I believe that would technically be an android, which is a humanoid robot, as opposed to a cyborg, which is a human with cybernetics.

That design would likely be more efficient as an infiltrator, able to sneak, squeeze, and climb its way to entrances that heavier duty flesh and blood troops or combat bots could never hope to reach or fit through. It would definitely be good at maintaining morale among the troops though.

Good point, it's just that back in 2004 when that pic was drawn I didn't know much about androids, but I learned something by 2011: android Andy [link]

And I like your idea to use this android as an infiltrator or a spy, for example to unlock the enemy base's doors for heavier robots or perform all sorts of sabotage work. Of course it won't need that cannon for that kind of activity. And I can see how having such sleek, flexible human-like robots would easily raise morale among the troops, sort of like robotic jesters/dancers able to perform all sorts of complex routines all day, and maybe even use their AI to invent new moves

huh, so where does the grip of the gu-... oh I see it

The "fits in a box part" reminds me to "Outlaw Star" [link]

Sorry if I'm wrong but from the describtion it kinda seems more like an android then a cyborg or did I miss something?

Any way I really like the idea and desgin, keep up the good work!
