Anybody here ever heard of ROM? I'm working on a model of him and thinking about making a mini game based on the comic. Just wondering if anybody else ever used to read it...

Somebody actually liked ROM? My fav Bill Mantlo series was the Micronauts.

Micronauts were cool. The writing with ROM was similar (go figure), but as a 3rd-4th grader I really liked the big silver cyborg dude.

Very ripped-off by ROBOCOP in the 80s.

Not the arms and upper thighs because there's all that muscular definition --which I can't really rely on textures for because the chrome sphere-mapping needs to come out...

Here's the head in DB Pro with a chromie sphere map and a little flare effect:




Here's a good page explaining the character.
