Fellow Cylons... always remember:
Look who's getting ready to descend upon Kansas City once more... SUPER Cylon-Knight is busy getting ready.
I found my eye insert (the black area) was out?! A quick trip to the repair bay, some molten cybernetic compound (hot glue) and I'm back in working order. Lowly Humans beware.
This year the Raider was forced to land a few blocks from the Convention center due to full airfields.
Along the walk I encountered one of Kansas City's new Street Cars. I was hoping to get on one in costume, but didn't. Drat.
Still walking, The Midland Theater! The inside of this theater is *wow* - like where they hold the Oscars fancy. I saw Star Wars, waaaay back in 1977 there, and David Copperfield in the 90s there. Amazing place.
Finally, Bartle Hall. Planet KC Comic Con awaits inside.
Yikes. Good thing I don't owe Jaba any money. He's clearly been here.
The always amazing R2-D2 builders are attending the Con once more. Love to see all their amazing items.
My Little Sith Pony.
...Force cute choke?
Shogun Warriors - Jumbo Mazinga. D'OH
...I had this as a kid! Wish I still did.
Rhea with a great BB-8. It was a free wheeling pull along droid, and it ROCKED.
And amazing Goonies display. Took a photo so I could remember and maybe make something like it one day.
AND... so I could find some "rich stuff" - I gotz ur map, kidz
HAIL SKROOB! These guys were awesome.
Optimus Prime boxes. Because Optimus Prime boxes!
The "big guy" Centurion was at the Con once more.
Day 1, Friday - is now over.
Day 2, the the Kansas City skyline...
Kansas City? No. Chrome tower... It is a Cylon Capital City. REMEMBER GAMORAY!
Now, all through the convention, once again, I had the invaluable help of Mrs. Cylon-Knight as my trusted handler and photographer.
We even bought a Centurion logo necklace for her to wear along with her By Your Command.net t-shirt as she guided me around.
Again, the Raider was forced to park at an air field about two blocks from the convention center.
CURSE YOU LOWLY HUMANS! *zap*
Here I am, ready to walk... helmet in hand - and hands off. So I can not stumble on the city streets.
Just before the convention center we had to cross a park, were a family of humans was having a picnic.
As a partly dismantled Centurion passed by (a terrifying sight RUN FOR YOUR LIVES) a small human - approximately 4 yahrens of age said in a squeaky little voice:
"Daddy, look at the astronaut."
Destination in sight. Leave no survivors per the Imperious Leader.
In the lobby of the lower level. Cylon-Knight is fully assembled and ready.
My trusty pistol is charged, and at the ready.
...and I got a few cubits from the ATM if I see any chrome dice, need some for the Raider.
Escalators & Cylon-Knight...
I saw them, and chased them down to get a photo with them. LOVE IT! Labyrinth - WHOOOO!!!
On the Death Star now, with Sith Darth Guy, I guess. *SAY CHEESE*
This is cool. The Blue Lantern here is actually a friend my wife and I have known since he was 2.
This was his first convention, and he did a great job of it. His costume was great - and his lantern prop he's holding was hand made.
*HIGH FIVE*
The Emperor told me as we snapped this photo that he needed more troops like me.
Cylon in a half shell.
I am not sure what this costume is... and at the time I didn't even see ALL of it (with my limited vision).
Looking over these pics and even I'm all *whoa*
Listen to me Ariel, life under the stars is better than anything they have down on Earth.
Don't expect me to jump and run like Xena and Gabrielle. NOT HAPPENING.
Great pre-school costume - so creative.
Again, HAIL SKROOB!
Look Cylon Captain America... and some guy in blue with a big frisbee next to me.
(Just kidding, Cap was spot on cool.)
All your con are belong to us.
Chillin with my R2-Home-Droid.
I'm on the fence, Cobra? Joe? hummmm
Duke later tracked me down - had a "By Your Command" clip in his phone and some great tips on a voice system for me.
I love to talk to fellow costume makers.
(Note how BRIGHT my pistol is too - thank you, thank you, Sean!}
Me and Yoda - Predator photo bomb.
No one told me a photo was being taken. 1978 Cylons are not that swift, ya know.
There, now I've got it.
Cylon, God of Thunder. And next to me is icarus, Hermes ... or someone in their P.J.s
(Just kidding, Thor looked great!!!)
So wish I had a Biker Scout costume. Love to get photos with them.
Everything is awesome, everything is cool when our part of a Cylon team...
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME when your living your Colonial crushing dream.
So cool costumes of all types! Olaf was "one of use." He loved my classic Cylon. OLD SCHOOL SNOWMAN! I love it.
Now look at these two handsome fellows.
Just like Deadpool, this guy was a hoot. He had the personality to go with the suit. Bravo.
Family photo.
See... I told you Jaba was hanging around the Con. Still don't owe him any money (thank goodness).
I saw C-3PO and shuffled my Cylon boots right on over and busted into his photo with a fellow protocol droid and R2.
WHAT COULD BE MORE AWESOME?!? LOOK AT ALL THE SHINY SUITS!!!
I missed him in his armor (
) but he found me.It was great to meet another fellow BYC member in person.
Foot soldiers of the two best Empires there are! *go us*
The tip to the Convention was now over - there were no survivors, Imperious Leader.
Here I am back on my way to the Raider by one of the hundreds of fountains in K.C. ("the city of fountains).
I walked allllllll the way back to the Raider fully costumed. Here I am by my new shiny building. Cylon-Knight, Inc.
Excuse me, but, *ZAP*
The streets are clear, everyone has fled screaming. Just like on Caprica.
Waiting for the turbo lift at the air dome.
TONIGHT ON CHANNEL 9 NEWS - CYLONS!!!
Farwall fellow Cylons. Cylon-Knight now boarding my Raider and returning to the Basestar in high order on the far side of Mars to remain undetected by feeble Earth technology.
It was another GREAT con! I enjoyed meeting a new fellow Cylon - and seeing a certain Mr and Mrs. Stowaway once more. Next time we'll all get together for a full blown classic BSG photo. One photo to rule them all!
See you next year.......
