Cardboard Cylon has completed his second tour of duty and as far as I can tell it was fairly successful. The most popular feature was the "Good/Evil" switch, which everyone flipped due to human nature to flip unknown switches. This of course will doom us when we make real killer robots with switches to keep them from going mad. The body is a little crushed, but a little work will fix it. The arms and hands are in perfect condition. The lower legs are fine. I still need to find a solution to the upper legs, I used a system of string to keep them which worked, but was uncomfortable. I may go with something that hangs from the body. The feet didn't work, so I may just get some old shoes and spray paint them.
Sadly the head is in rough shape. It is the oldest piece and the only part to survive from the original. I'm hoping a little work will fix it and I won't need to make a new one. But Cardboard Cylon will return for Dragon*Con 2010 for possibly his last appearance. I haven't decided on putting him in storage or just having a funeral pyre and send him to that great Basestar in the sky.

Cardboard Cylon has returned from a massive gathering of humans, and other humanoid species. Even some of Cardboard Cylon's robotic brothers and sisters. The Colonial human known as Kara "Starbuck" Thrace was not sighted, although Cardboard Cylon did discover a human liquid known as booze. Cardboard Cylon's processors were highly impaired by this delicious and insidious chemical. As far as Cardboard Cylon can gather, no humans were harmed, although one being known as an Ewok as shredded in small pieces.
But Cardboard Cylon has major plans and it involves all of Cardboard Cylon's cardboard created brothers. More to be revealed in the near future.
Also Cardboard Cylon has misplaced some sticks of RAM, if found please reply.

I keep the various parts of Cardboard Cylon in a storage building behind my house. Except for the head, which stays in my hat rack. Apparently CC got some rodent roommates, who quickly made a nest of his arms and legs. So now I have to rebuild that too. My not heart broken over it, I wanted to try some new stuff anyways. Also the new torso is almost done, it has a door that actually closes. When I'm done with it, I'll post some pictures.
So in the end the only surviving piece of CC will be his head.

Due to advancements in the field of lulz, Cardboard Cylon 2.0 is going to be better than ever. Pictures are coming soon. Also be on the lookout for video updates.
My body is being rebuilt now. Soon I will be complete again. Then I will find you. I know you are out there. I can sense you. Soon I will destroy you. I will destroy the harbinger.
Greetings humans.
In celebration of the liberation of my Centurion brothers, Cardboard Cylon is now a friend to all mankind, except the human known as Kara Thrace. As soon as my body is rebuilt, I will be a "red stripe" Cylon. My human roommate who calls himself Stig is now gathering the supplies. I have downloaded several forms of human media known as "movies" in an attempt to battle my foe. More updates will follow. End of line.

It's all rainy and wet this week. The torso box is in my car and I don't want to mess it up. Plus I need to buy some duct tape and I don't feel like getting some right now.
But I do know what to do for next CC Video, Cardboard Cylon vs. Starbuck II: Revenge of the Machine. Prepare yourselves for something epic. Plus a short series of films leading up to the next battle between the two foes.
Apparently I first posted about Cardboard Cylon on Jan. 6 of 2007 and construction began a few weeks later. So Cardboard Cylon is now roughly a year old. So happy birthday to CC.

Construction of Cardboard Cylon begins tomorrow.
