OH, please! Don't let this be the new Robby the Robot!

We received a tip from a scooper telling us to check out the Uncle Odie's Irwin Allen Collectibles website, specifically the news update posted on February 15. What we were told was there was a proposed design for the new Robot in The WB's upcoming LOST IN SPACE pilot.

We did indeed find the design artwork (as shown above) along with an explanation as to what it is. Webmaster Robert Vanderpool explains that the design in question was submitted to Fox to be considered as the new LIS Robot, and that his website is conducting a poll to determine whether people like the radical new design or the more traditional classic Robot look. "We would like to get our comments and input back to Producer Kevin Burns on this matter," explains Vanderpool in his update. "We the fans like our classic B-9 and not the updated modern toy version."

1. I'm with you Kephra.

While I have no real hope for the series I would at least expect them to keep the lame factor to a minimum.

2. That has to be one of the worst designs since

Buck Rodgers!
