I loved the old film The Black Hole when I was a kid, and the three different robot types made an impression on me. As a Star Wars fan, I've always thought that Vincent would make a great astromech model with minor modification, and Maxamillion and the Sentry Robots had great potential as well. Has anyone ever done crossover stats for these?

The Black Hole... That takes me back 😀
Vincent & Bob were the floating friendly droids... Bob being the one that was beaten up & rusty if I remember rightly! Didn't Bob sacrifice himself in the end to allow everybody else to escape?

Maximillian was the red sentry droid type with the spinning blade hands.

Wow. It's been since fifth grade since I've seen the film. I don't even remember it, really. I'd have to see if I can find a copy somewhere.

caught the last hour or so on Disney or something a few years ago. Had been many years before that since the last time I'd seen it.

Nice, with a few modifications I may just have a use for these.

If someone can deDisneyfy their appearance (starting with Vincent and Bob's caroonish "photoreceptors"), then I could maybe see these existing in the SWU.

If inserted in the SW Universe, I see VINCENT & BOB as type 4 security droids with intentionally friendly and unthreatening appearances, intended for interacting with children.

That looks like a cross between V.I.N.C.E.N.T. and Eric Cartman...
