Normally I hate nimmos, their pose in the happy, circle, sad and angry puts me off too much... but that robot.. is awesome...

Daww. Still no Samus. :(

I'm not quite sure what to think of this. It looks like a faceless, mass produced, ancient war machine. There are parts of it that are angular and blocky, and parts like the red legs which are rounded and shiny; there's no denying I would adore the sleeker rounded look of the robot ixi. However, the details on this thing are just fantastic. It's uses an emoticon on it's chest to display it's mood. Tiny though it is, I didn't even notice until I saw the photo pic, it's brilliant. The lillypad shield and bug missles are very nice too.

It'd be quite 1337 if it was a bit more polished.

References to Nimmos Pond are a nice touch but overall it a very messy robot. I can go along with faceless head but the body is made of so many different dark elements that it all looks jumbled up, rushed and hard to look at.

And compare the upper part of the leg on these two:

Second Nimmo has muscles O_o

I'm not sure how I feel about the robot Nimmo. The emotion poses seem too busy for me. There's a lot going on there and most of it is of similar luminance. Some of the battledome poses are clearer, because the pet isn't all folded up and because it's covering parts of itself with other parts of itself. I <i>really</i> like the design of the missiles in the ranged pose, but I don't like the way they seem not to have been <i>fired</i> but to have sort of wandered aimlessly out of the pet's arm.

Having typed all that, I hit Preview, and read the replies that had already been posted. Oh my god, I hadn't noticed the emoticon on the chest. Now I'm sold. It's way too small, but the artist gets major points just for thinking of it.

(I wonder if this was drawn by the same person who did the Tyrannian Buzz, another pet that would work better if all the pet graphics were 250x250 or somesuch.)

Pink reminds me of bubble gum.

Chest emoticon display needs to be visible in the 150x150 images.

If it was, this would be the best robot ever.

They could fix it by just extending the display halfway down its torso.

The Robot's head looks weird, but otherwise it's not bad, I guess... the fly missles and lily pad shield are pretty cool. Actually, the way its face (especially the big lower jaw) looks in the hit and beaten poses kinds of remind me of The Iron Giant... I love that movie. <3

...and I didn't even notice the emoticons on its chest till just now. That's neat. :D Though they are hard to see.

Pink is nicely bubblegummy. I could've sworn there was already a pink Nimmo though O_o

Robot... emoticons: kudos if they were bigger. Bug missiles: nod to Nimmo's Pond. Lily-pad shield: shiny. Color-changing eyes: becoming standard. But the colors? That's the only thing that throws it off for me. I guess the last few robots have been so glossy that this one just seems a bit dull. The shades of gray make the Nimmo's body and limbs get lost a little. I do like the red and yellow accents, though. Overall, it's good. Not stunning.

Pink is deliciously cotton candy, bubble gum, ridiculously saccharine sweet looking. Pretty in pink?

I noticed the first time I looked at it that the pink Nimmo appears to be entirely the color of a standard Nimmo's tongue, and wasn't sure how I felt about this.

I just looked at it again, and realized that it evokes, for me, a Nimmo <i>made entirely out of tongue</i>.

This is either awful, or <i>awesome</i>.

Bah, it's the worst Robot pet so far.
I really don't like the concept.
