Anyway, Lego couldn’t do arms in silver at the time, as they were manufactured in a different plastic and too brittle to snap into the arm socket, so we went with turquoise.Ģ) Do you still have images of the prototype Chief figure?Ģ. I originally designed the chief/captain to have a silver robot arm, I was tired with all the negative stereotypes of disabled characters at the time, you know, all the bad guys had scars or hooks for hands and I wanted him to have a missing arm and still be successful and a good guy. I remember an ice creature going through different design stages, not sure if that made it into the final version of the game, I seem to remember a prototype figure although that could have been a rock monster in different plastic colour. Please do not modify it.ġ) Do you recall any scrapped content made for Rock Raiders?ġ. This is a description taken from Simeon Hankins. He appears in the Rock Raiders games, where he gives mission briefings.Ĭhief was designed by an artist working on the video game, and was intended to be packaged with copies of it, though this idea was dropped: The book High Adventure Deep Underground says he lost his real arm in an accident rescuing 37 trapped miners from a cave-in on Pluto.
His left robotic arm, teal green in color, houses a deadly plasma cannon and he's a well-experienced miner as well as the team leader. The Chief commands the exploration ship, the L.M.S. In addition, the pants have a belt printed on the waist, and silver and orange pants markings with black and yellow caution lines appear on the front of the legs. The helmet with the green visor is chrome in color, and the shirt printings have been slightly altered, including the Power Box. In the video game, there are several differences in Chief's appearance. Additionally added is a pilot helmet accessory with a neon-green visor. His face is masculine with a grey mustache and eyebrows. He has old grey legs and torso with a printed shirt which has a Power Box with power lines connected to one of his arms, which is turquoise in color, but the right arm being only grey with a yellow hand. The Chief only appears in one set in the Rock Raiders series.
