With Tomorrows day of Reckoning looming before me..
i removed the Robot from the Catacomb vaults and brought it to the surface
awaiting the Adaptor

here it is in its present state:

a little known factoid about the Robot is the dust cover
this by itself is a very rare item as most dust covers have long been shattered
to pieces

Novag meant for the Robot to be displayed by its owners demonstrating it's
operation..

for this purpose the Robot has a special "Demo" mode where it plays a game
against itself showing all of its features and capabilities including the
effects of the "Emotions " feature

while the Robot is being demonstrated its always best to keep the dust cover on
to avoid something externally from impeding the arm movement(like your cousins
kids!)

to this end, Novag cut away a space in the back of the dust cover to enable the
arm to have free room to swing back and still keep the cover in place

this "cut away" in the Dust cover can be seen here:
