S3 vs the Mad
Scientist's Robot (2008):
Run length: 2 minutes, 39 seconds
Summary: When "The Mad
Scientist" hacks the city teleportation grid and
transports in his monstrous battle droid, the regular
robot defense force is insufficient to deal with the
threat, so it's up to the S3-4211g advanced prototype
(informally referred to as the. "Spinning Silver
Sphere" to confront the intruder in a high tech
battle.
This is a sequel to the Spinning Silver
Sphere video I made in 2007. As in the case of the
original, S3 vs MSR is a music video/animation
whose frames I generated using POVRay. The new video,
however, has a lot more action (and even a bit of a plot,
which the first one really didn't). I wrote a new sound
track, incorporating many of the themes present in the
first video but adding a lot of new material as well (to
the extent that one can do that in a 2 and a half minute
video). I hope to have stand alone ogg and wma
format versions of the sound track available for free
download on GoodChimes.com
soon.

Mad
Scientist's Robot Mission:
Carry out the orders of Dr. Hobart S.
KrankenKopf.
Defensive Weaponry: Powerful
armor of unknown composition makes the unit
highly resistant to most attacks.
Primary Offensive Weaponry:
Powerful laser beams from the head of the robot
can blast through all but the strongest defenses.
The robot is also able to launch its spherical
"hands" which then morph into small
battle saucers (which are able to fire short and
intense laser bursts themselves).
Other Weaponry and capabilities:
Unknown.

Dr.
Hobart Sildarian KrankenKopf, a.k.a. "The
Mad Scientist" Although once
a respected scientist in the field of robotics,
the doctor ran afoul of the authorities when it
was discovered that he had stolen plans and
technology from the military (which was employing
him as a consultant at the time) and was planning
to build an army of powerful robots for his own
ends.
He was briefly arrested, but managed to escape
and has gone into hiding.
