Original Hero and Long Distance Robot Side by Side

Post by toborthegreat00150 » Thu Jan 21, 2016 9:54 am

Attachments : Hello Builders:   Just thought I send this photo of the Original Hero robot and the Long Distance Robot, side by side. Sure is interesting how taller the Long Distance robot is. I guess this had to be only due to the fiberglass legs which still look great on other robots.   Wonder if there were other factors that made it look taller? I think the fiberglass legs which look great today don't make the robot look too tall like in this photo below.   Thanks guys.   Victor B9-0082   [img]cid:AOLP.879741[/img]

Hi Chris:   It seems though that the fiberglass legs that they use today are excellent and the robot does not appear much taller like in this photo.   Thanks,   Victor B9-0082     -----Original Message-----

Subject: [B9Builders] Original Hero and Long Distance Robot Side by Side

  Hello Builders:   Just thought I send this photo of the Original Hero robot and the Long Distance Robot, side by side. Sure is interesting how taller the Long Distance robot is. I guess this had to be only due to the fiberglass legs which still look great on other robots.   Wonder if there were other factors that made it look taller? I think the fiberglass legs which look great today don't make the robot look too tall like in this photo below.   Thanks guys.   Victor B9-0082   Image #ygrps-yiv-1918341467

Hello Builders:

Just thought I send this photo of the Original Hero robot and the Long Distance Robot, side by side. Sure is interesting how taller the Long Distance robot is.
I guess this had to be only due to the fiberglass legs which still look great on other robots.

Wonder if there were other factors that made it look taller? I think the fiberglass legs which look great today don't make the robot look too tall like in this photo below.

Thanks guys.

I've had this photo forever, it's from a newspaper clipping. I've had it on my Flickr for a while and I'll link it here because it shows just a little bit more revealing that the hero is just a smidge closer to the camera affecting the height issue. While the stunt was always taller due to the solid fiberglass legs, in this photo it looks even taller.

Someone said this photo looks sad. Why's that? It's clear to me that the show is still in production during this photo. Isn't smoke coming out of one? I think it's a neat look behind the curtain and a rare look at both robots together, unless you count the few times they appeared on screen together.

What is hard to tell here, and is a credit to the crew, is that a lot of the stunt parts were made from cardboard, like the brain, and other light-weight materials. Some of you may recall that Fred Barton uploaded and detailed list of what was made from what before he destroye- I mean restored it.

If you look at our stunt friend on the new Blu-rays you can see how there is little to no difference in the color of the robots rubber parts and resign parts. They gave an overall silver sheen to the hero's legs for the final season so it made sense that the stunt, built for season three would also have a more overall silver appearance. Next time you watch season three notice how silver the stunt robots legs are. Nowhere near the black color that is sitting in the Seattle SciFi Museum :^)

This is an interesting picture no doubt, but it is absolutely not taken during production of the show. These are the "restored" robots probably taken in the late 80's or early 90's. Just look at the details (or lack there of).

There are some other odd things about this photo. Those are not the original Hero upper knee plates. I can't say I have ever seen those before. There also seems to me something off about the scale but I can't put my finger on it. It almost looks like the stunt robot seems to be floating several inches above the floor making it appear even taller than it really is compared to the Hero.

Never the less, a rare picture seeing  the two robots together!

I agree. This picture has always haunted me for some reason. It's so bizarre! Craig is absolutely correct. Plus you can tell by the stunt robot's brain which has Greg Jein"s modifications to it. I mean what's the story behind this photo? Who took it, where was it and when was it taken? Why are all those wires hanging out? And most odd, why is the stunt smoking like that? So weird!!!!  -Roy

Check out the arms they are pointed in the wrong direction. Or at least that is what it looks like to me.Phil B9-673
