It looks like something from Hanna-Barbera of the 60's or 70's possibly from a Jetsons special or something.

I don't watch the show, but isn't it a Dr. Who Dalek? I think i recognize it from some of Sosai Tim's stuff.

I managed to find a mostly-complete list of all the robots in the "Where's Wall-E?" pic, and have learned that this robot is "Gog."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gog_%28film%29

I've never seen this movie at all, but I swear I recall seeing some cartoon with a robot that's supposed to some sort of super-efficient multi-tasking worker robot, with multiple arms like this one...

It's going to bug me until I remember it!

I haven't heard of that film either. Shrug

Okay, for today's 'What were they thinking?' I have another horribly colored cover...

It says something when Jinpei has the most accurately-colored outfit. I'm not sure what it says, though.

What is Princess holding? Is it some sort of sensor? Why does she need two hands to use it? At first I thought it was her 'cycle, until I had a closer look.

Oh, that hurts the eyes. Pitiful on their part. Obviously, there was no quality control.

Yeah, and surely it wouldn't have been that hard to keep the people who did the colouring apprised of the correct colours to use for each character!

I'd allow for the odd mistake -even the Tatsunoko animators sometimes, briefly, got a colour wrong -but this is the cover illustration where you'd think the most attention would be given!

I have to say, though, that someone got to have some fun coming up with alien creatures for the team to encounter, since they weren't facing the every-alien-looks-human limitation that Sandy Frank's people did.

What the heck are all the gadgets that they're holding, I wonder? Zark's latest inventions in planetary surveying equipment, no doubt...

The gadgets are all equipment for surveying the planet.

Jason and Tiny are *close* to their right colors. Jason has helmet trim and gloves issues, while Tiny's suit is the only thing that is the wrong color. Keyop just has an orange cape but WOW, does it ever hurt the eyes! Princess and Mark are the ones that are totally wrong.

I agree with LB: you'd think the'd have a reference as to what the characters were supposed to look like and pay some attention to the accuracy on the cover!

I think their gadgets need a setting to detect encroachments by giant dashiki-wearing green aliens! They seem to have been caught off guard -I guess Zark is currently too overwhelmed with incoming messages to keep a vigilant eye on them?

Their like a cross between Draconion (movie "Enemy Mine" 1985 Dennis Quaid) and a very old horror comic I read refering to a sub-human/ neandertholic species that the towns people were afraid they were descendant from (called "Droggs"?)
or Troglodyte -a cave dwellier, esp one of the prehistoric people thought to have lived in caves

have to search shed for comic cause it's going to annoy me till I find the name they used

Actually, those 'aliens' are ugly. And they have claws. Watch out!

Okay, here's a good one for a laugh. Even in the comics, Zark is the butt of the joke....

Now we know why Keyop speaks in such a weird fashion... Zark had his revenge! ROFL 2

That's frightening, LB. Zark has control over so much...

And I find it very easy to believe that Zark is secretly evil -maybe because if he were, then he'd be found out eventually and destroyed!

Another example of coloring gone horribly wrong...
