Supervillain: Drillman
A new box of Stargrave miniatures was recently released with what it calls "Automatons," though the figures are far more cyborg than the robots I originally expected from the name. My first thought upon seeing the drill arms on the sprue was that I could---nay, must---craft a gentleman with the right to bear drills. This guy is kitbashed from four sources:
- Drill arms: Stargrave Automatons
- Head: Stargrave Troopers
- Legs: Anvil Industry
- Torso: Catachan Jungle Fighters Heavy Weapon Crew
As noted in the title, Drillman is set to be a supervillain. It feels like it would be difficult to be a hero with the "drill arms" powerset. He has a traditionally secondary-color costume of orange with green accents. With the bright orange sunglasses, it's a distinctly '80s vibe. This is very easily the kind of comic book character that the '80s would have created for a single issue, not to be seen again for decades.
(Note: No relation to the Mega Man robot Drill Man. That name has a space in it.)
