Thinking an awful lot about Sniperbots from Doctor Who. I think they’re REALLY cool and wow I’d love to be one!

(There’s a good reason why I’m thinking about them again; you’ll see in a few days!)

Rant about fans 

Honestly I’ve felt pretty depressed about liking them because they only appeared in two episodes of the show and weren’t used in a great way, but the fan reaction to how they were used looks to have condemned them to the scrap heap; I heard that they threw most of the suits away, which really makes me sad as I would LOVE to own and wear an actual screen used one!

I was really hoping that they’d return in future but I guess I should get used to fans ruining things I like, lol

Also hear me out; Renamon themed Sniperbot.

Like, pretty much the same but robotic rena ears out the back of the hood, robotic winglets, left hand has three digits instead of five, maybe a robot rena tail tool?

IT'S ARRIVED!!! I am the very proud owner of my own screen-used Sniperbot rifle prop!! I'm SO happy!!! <3

I wish it was the full suit but I'm still over the moon at having one of the rifle props! <3

I'm so over the moon to own this! Every time I've gone past it I've worn it for a few minutes and I get such a euphoric feeling from it! It's 100% plugging into the part of my brain that wants to be a robot, haha <3

Sniperbot cosplay is going up the list of importance!!!

Also definitely need to commission art of a Renamon themed Sniperbot. Basically the same but has Renamon like robot ears poking out of the hood, has three digits on the hand instead of five (maybe a glove up that arm, or both, or neither), robot tail, and robot Renamon foot paws.

I have gotten a couple of Sniperbot art commissions before and I’m really happy that I got these!! ❀️

Just found myself day dreaming about wearing the Sniperbot prop and remembering how nice it feels to wear it~ ❀️

It’s weighty but wow it fits like a glove and honestly I could see myself walking around with it on for a good number of hours!

I want to make a replica of it for a cosplay because this one has seen better days and doesn’t really look like it can be taken apart without damaging it. Thankfully all the internal parts are visible.

cw: eye contact

Finally felt good enough about myself to take a couple of photos wearing the Sniperbot prop!

It makes me so happy!! ❀️​

Honestly Sniperbots make me so happy. I do feel sad that we’re probably never gonna see them on TV again but that’s all the more reason for me to make my own Sniperbot suit and be one in public <3

@renbymon Oooh I DIG. Very big fan. :D I like human*oid* cybernetics.

As for me, though, I'm more of a close-in fighter. Pistols, SMGs, Shotguns, that kinda thing. :3

@renbymon We could be a matching pair! :D Wanna split a commission?

@renabot None that I know who would do robot stuff, so if you know one I'm happy to go with your suggestions ^^

@renbymon Sadly I do not! Perhaps DemoWeasel might be up for it? Neither me nor Psy spend much time active in the fandom at large so our knowledge of artists is very scant.

@renabot Okay! I'll keep my eyes open then and if I find someone who's open I'll let you know!

@renbymon Ooh! A physical thing related to sniperbots! :D

@renbymon it's extremely cool and sniperbots are great. :D i'm happy for you!!

@PsyChuan If I ever find a screen used one I totally will be looking to get it, but most likely I'm gonna have to make my own!

@PsyChuan ehhh so and so. I'm gonna have to find someone to 3d model the mask and arms for me and I'll do the clothing myself.

@renbymon Oh wow, that's really cool! Congratulations on acquiring such a nice piece!

@renbymon At least you have the best reference possible for making a duplicate! :D

@avon_deer it was kinda what I expected being a prop from a popular TV show; I got it for a few hundred.

@renbymon Ooo, never seen the one with the white light before! πŸ’œ
