I dare say so :-)
Aha, so beyond F-Force (and Palitoy's creative quality control) there might be some other experiments out there for :sas: :zforce: but guessing :qforce: :space: :enemy: as well? For instance, the :space: Cosmic Cruiser looked a bit different in the early days.

Always wondered if there were Roboskull variants, not so much charting its evolution as evidence of other mind-warping Palitoy experiments, so mental it's pure genius :wolf:

Oh defo, although they never may have made it as far as a rough block model or mock up, there would have been 2D concepts, just purley ideas for discussion and development.

that's right, pretty much all the visual appearance models used for trade catalogues/ preview product photography differed from the final released product.

Oh yes, there has got to be some evolution to get to a flying red skull with machine guns for eyes. That's not something that just comes out of nowehere :)

I know who you'd like us to think you are, but I'm not seeing any actual evidence.
