    New-bots Assemble!

    Posted by Titilonic - December 8th, 2020


    I'd seen a picture with the New(grounds)-bots in the settings and it got me curious as to who they were, aside from good ol' P-bot. I later finally found the "Portal Bot Posse", here.


    And digging into its comments I found:


    @JakBaronKing (July 10, 2010)

    Okay! I think I got this figured out.


    P-Bot is inspired from VINCENT.

    I-Bot is inspired from Johnny 5.

    G-Bot is inspired from ELECTRO.

    M-Bot is inspired from your own series of ALLOY.

    And both F-Bot and A-Bot are Transformers inspirations (Soundwave & Arcee)


    This is a pretty kick-ass group picture.

    https://uimg.ngfiles.com/icons/48/48551_large.jpg?f1580262371 MindChamber responds: nailed it, no wait, close! G-Bot is inspired from Rosie of the jetsons,

    and as a whole the groups' shapes and colors were inspired by Mighty Orbots.


    There's a lot of comments on what their letters mean.

    Makes me want to make a T[itillating]-Bot or a L[ove]-Bot, with the power to LEWD everything!




    I also learned how to leave messages on Newgrounds front-page.

    This is awesome. Info I've been missing out on all these years in regard to those inspirations...

    As for G-Bot, maybe Grounds, or Grounds Gold, as the account system was previously called here? As the blurb notes he's: keeping Grounds Gold nice and tidy since 1999.

    Been a while since we had a new bot indeed hmm...

    I'm inclined on doing something about it for Pico Day.

    Hope your inclinations come to fruition there! :D Would be awesome.
