So innovative! When Kevin started with Ro-Busters he was very influenced by Gerry Anderson who he knew fairly well from the SFX magazine he produced. It's a pity Gerry never hired Kevin, but his loss was comics' gain

Yes, I think Maurice is one of my favorites. It's great that comic fans recognise Kevin's unique talent, but I wish he was more widely recognised. I can't think of any other humorous robot designer who is in his league. And that goes for his many other talents - especially steam punk on Nemesis

This is really interesting. As a major Ro-Busters fan I would have read/watched the hell out of this. And Kevin's designs are excellent.

What we missed out on!? Sounds and looks great, love Tea-Bots trouser press! Maurice the mechanical mandrill bell-hop is classic Kevin.

Oh wow! This sounded fabulous and Kev's designs are (of course) amazing. I'm still laughing at Old Rage and his leaky undercarriage...
