ive been thinking about this lately, why dont we here on the board work on creating a bio for Skeletron? i think it would be a fun idea.

what do you guys think?

Sure. Here's mine:

Skeletron is the best friend of the Toxo-Zombie (from Cobra Command). They quaff ale together at their local pub in Red Gecko Alley, when they aren't pillaging innocent villagers and defiling the environment with their corrosive, flesh eating powers. Skeletron wants to be an actor someday (he had a bit part in the remake of "Dawn of the Dead"), but he is sometimes shy in front of cameras, so he chooses to stick to terrorism for the time being.

Well? What do you think?

I used to use him as a roboskull pilot or as a rear gunner for Red Wolf.

Was there a rear gun station on the Robo-Skull? That's pretty cool.

That an' the unfortunate brainwashing chamber / suicide bomber mid-air ejection system!

Uh... you're kidding me, right?

By the way, I'm of the opinion that Skeletron is a solitary "freak of nature". I just can't see an army of these bone soldiers running rampant all over the English landscape. I mean, what do they do? Do they chomp their victims to death? Skeletron definitely needs a weapon of some kind.

Nah, the Skeletrons follow up behind the mutons, while all the Action Force guys are crying with laughter at the Mutons they bash them over the head!

The roboskull does indeed have its own Brainwashing chamber/bomb bay, as well as a gunners position.

As far as Skeletron goes, perhaps we can have the original Skeletron as one of Ironblood's former generals in a robotic body after some kind of incident (as suggested way back by someone), and the others having been made as the original one worked so well.

The Baron recoups his losses on the battlefield by re-animating his fallen soldiers in his secret laboratories. He is rumoured to use both Red Shadow and Action Force corpses in his evil experimentations. The Skeletron can operate in any environment from the vacuum of space to the ocean depths.

I gotta say, i'm inclined to agree with seaneley. If you take a look at the skeletron, it's actually the skeleton of a Kraken, not a person (the hands and the mane on the top of the skull really give it away, as well as the non-human bones and torso). So essentially it's just a re-animated Kraken, which for my toppence worth invaldates it as a character. More just another of the Baron's experiments.

Blood for the Baron!
