I'm going with uhm.. :skeletron: :skeletron: :skeletron: :skeletron: :skeletron: :skeletron: army builder. Fans of the RIFTS role playing game might notice thier resemblence to the Coalition Skelabots. Which popped in my mind the first time I saw the bugger. Along with cannon fodder for the Baron's forces. Thier skelatal appearance add to the shock factor when barrelling down upon enemy forces, and I can even hear a crack by the Joes, "Man, when did we piss off Ray Harryhausin." (Fans of Jason and the Argonotes will know what I'm talking about.)

I have voted character, simply because that is the way I am going with my custom.
Come have a look at some of my custom action figures:

I always imagined them as cannon fodder, sorry troop builders.

To me Ironblood wouldn't want to many individuals in his forces. :major: was brainwashed :vulture: was his sh*t hot getaway driver :laser: was the resident mad scientist :jackal: was bionic arobot pretty much :wolf: was a bad astronaut

So the Baron wouldn't want another opinion so :skeletron: belongs with :kraken: :shadow: :muton:

Totally agree fuzzchile - he's oven-roasted Kraken all day long in my book.

I think he's just the Roboskull rear gunner!
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

Hes not a dead kraken! How anyone can degrade the good Kraken with a comparison like that I dont know ;-)

I think id prefer him to be a one off character. The red shadows are short of individual characters and id love him to be some dead genius who is barely kept alive by life support systems...

Maybe like Davros but without the wheelchair...

I think im going to have to do a custom with that head but a better body so he doesnt resemble a skeleton, wish I hadnt listed my only one on ebay now...

I don't have one, but if I did I'd regard him as a one-off (whether that was 'official' or not). The Enemy has the Mutons as mindless cannon fodder. I see Skeletron more as some sort of super intelligent cyborg strategist with a brilliant computerised mind in my AF Universe.
