1187) Goblinbot. Effectively a larger Mischiefbot variant; a menace to society in general and novice PCbots in particular. Sometime ally of Orcbot. Like all goblins, bad at everything except being a goblin - which is a very Small Robot trait to be fair. #SmallRobotsRemonstered #Halloween

A wide, ovoid robot with short, banded arms and legs and little cloven feet. It has big, pointed ears (one of which is pierced with a gold ring) and is walking along, carrying a wooden sword. It has a swept-back tuft of hair on its top and a big wide, spike-toothed grin; one of its teeth appears to be gold too. Its expression is one of sheer, small-minded malevolence. Text in the bottom right reads, "Small Robots Remonstered".

1977) Watchfulbot. Just has some stuff to think about by the sea. Specifically, the return of the Old Gods, for which generations of its forebears have also patiently waited in this spot, holding to the dark covenant etched in the stones.

A spherical robot with banded arms and legs, wearing tattered robes that are blowing in the wind as it extends its arms, palms held upwards, a blank expression on its face. The background is drawn in soft, greyscale shading, and depicts the robot standing on a windswept clifftop, looking out to sea. The sky is streaked with clouds and the sea is dark and flecked with foamy waves. The clifftop is covered in pale grass, and three short, worn standing stones emerge from the ground at angles, surrounding the robot. Each stone is dark, but shaded quite sharply to resemble some kind of volcanic rock, and strange, angular runes are etched into their surfaces. Out to sea, just visible beneath the waves, is a vast, dark shadow, stretching almost to the horizon, that seems to be extending immense tentacles around itself.

605) Babygatebot. Not so fast, little buddy! Keep that toddler out of places you don't want them to go - utility room, staircase, robot lab - with this adaptive guardian which doesn't have a complicated lock that keeps you out too... #SmallRobotsRemastered

A robot in the form of a barred baby gate, blocking a doorway at the end of a corridor with a dark space beyond it. The robot has jointed arms which are folded across its front and its face has a stern expression. Approaching it, facing away from the frame and looking a little unsteady, is a toddler wearing a dungaree dress and a striped shirt, hair in pigtails, dragging a blanket behind them clutched in one chubby hand.

1298) Hydrabot. Has got a lot of heads. #SmallRobotsRemonstered #Halloween

A robot in the form of a mythological hydra. It has an ovoid body with a banded tail and legs that have clawed feet. Five heads emerge from its body, mounted on sinuous, banded necks. The heads are ovoid too, with large mouths that contain sharp teeth. One head is distracted, looking at a butterfly, one is frowning at the ground, one is smiling, one has its mouth open and another is angry about something. Some have their tongues out, which are forked like a snake's. Text in the top right reads, "Small Robots Remonstered."

1427) Ogrebot. Grumpy, hulking henchbot. One up from Orcbot, one down from Giantbot. #SmallRobotsRemonstered #Halloween

A robot shaped like a sort of rounded pyramid with banded arms and legs. It's carrying a big spiked, wooden club and has a pronounced underbite with protruding tusks. On its head are a few scraggly hairs and it's frowning grumpily and scratching at them. It says "Small Robots Remonstered" in the top right.

604) Helibot. Our mastery of propellers has finally been brought to the world of civil aviation with this self-piloting helicopter. Has no front windows so has to describe to you what's going on outside. #SmallRobotsRemastered

A robot in the form of a stylised helicopter. Its main body is spherical, with a rigid tail emerging from the back. It has landing skids held on by two banded struts each in the same style as the limbs of other robots, and a door in its side with a little square window in it. The robot's smiling face is on its front.

[CN. Food] 602) Spicybot. Checks your meal to ascertain how spicy it is before you dig in and ruin a perfectly good tongue. Its antenna flashes green, amber, or red as appropriate, and is calibrated to your own endurance. #SmallRobotsRemastered

An ovoid robot with banded arms and legs. It stands beside a plate of food, which is drawn in a soft, pastel style (because it's hard to draw realistic-looking food in the standard style). The meal looks like a curry, with rice and a triangular samosa (or possibly a folded chapati) on one side. The robot is putting a fork or spoon into its mouth, its eyes are widened, and its eyebrows are raised very high. A banded antenna on its top is lit up, its cheeks are flushed, and two beads of sweat have formed on its brow.

603) Tubabot. Ideal for both orchestral accompaniment and for punctuating another hilarious disappointment. #SmallRobotsRemastered

A robot in the form of a tuba with banded arms and legs It's body (i.e. the tuba) is shaded to look like reflective metal, its face on the conical bore (big funnel bit) blowing into its mouthpiece, which is on an extended tube from the opposite side of the instrument (because, interestingly and unintentionally, I used an image of a smaller tuba designed to be held at shoulder height for reference, rather than the more conventional style with the mouthpiece closer to the bell), and it has its eyes closed. The robot's arm is connected to one of the many looping pipes, emerging from within the workings to manipulate the valves mounted in the middle. Wide waves emerging from the bell indicate the bassy sound produced by the robot.

601) Makeupremoverbot. Removes your makeup if you forget to sort it out before you fall asleep/collapse. Its propeller is designed to rotate silently to avoid abrupt returns to confused consciousness. #SmallRobotsRemastered

A person lying in bed with a tousled head of hair and bags under their eyes. Most of the picture is shaded normally, in blocks of colour, but half of the person's face is in soft, contoured shading, slightly paler than their underlying skin, representing makeup. They have contoured cheeks, smoky eyeshadow, heavy mascara and shiny lipstick with lip liner in a darker shade. There is an abrupt line where the makeup has been removed by the robot, which is spherical and held aloft by a propeller on its top. It hovers beside the person, face showing intense concentration with its tongue sticking out. It has jointed arms that end in soft, rounded pads, one of which is wiping at the person's lips, while the other is raised up, with its underside heavily smudged. The whole scene is in shades of grey, as it takes place in the dark of night.

599) Postbot. If you can't get to the postbox in time, or you're feeling too sad or shy to go outside right now, post your letter into Postbot and it will head out to do it for you. Also provides its own stamps. #SmallRobotsRemastered

A robot in the form of a cuboid postbox with a curved back. The rectangular slot is its mouth, complete with rows of teeth, and it has a hinged hatch with a handle on its front. It has four stumpy banded legs on the bottom and two banded arms. In one hand it holds a strip of adhesive stamps with tiny images of what appears to be Bigbot on them, while in its other it holds up a sealed envelope.

As many others have pointed out, the non-negotiable condition for assisted dying is that a society must have universal affordable or free assisted living FIRST. Until that precondition is met legalising assisted death is dangerous.

When disabled people oppose Assisted Dying, it’s almost never from a religious point of view. It’s not because we’re anti-choice or that we want to force people to suffer. We oppose it because society devalues disabled lives and uses these programs in an unethical manner. They become eugenics. 🧵
