So I am finally to a point to report some progress on my omnibot hack. I call him BOB. I decided to change his color as there are so many white ones out there. I used a flat black with silver accents.

So here is Bob showing off some of his cool lighting. I used the original face plate and added LEDs. Also, note the servo where the ping sensor is being mounted.
And here he is sporting his new claw.

And here is the EZ-B in the cassette tray. I have a cooling fan at the back.Brilliant use of keeping the faceplate and using the casette drawer for the EZ-B! That's a real sharp Omnibot
Wow! That is really looking great!
That is one sharp looking bot. I wonder if any of the original Omnibot designers have any idea about the second life these toys are getting.

I love the black and the Claw, gives him a bit of a pirate look.... I remember a bad 80's movie called Ice Pirates, they had a lot of bots in it
Sold my complete omni to a guy at work for $80 cause I didn't think I wanted to do one up. After seeing your bot I wish I would of kept him. Super cool.
Thanks! And I remember Ice Pirates - and the space herpes.
