The End of the Beginning
It’s been quite an adventure since his flying saucer-battling origin, but now that the final Firefox 3 beta has been released everyone’s favorite open source robot has retired to a comfortable and triumphant life of adoration from a grateful populace:
As it turns out, a lot of the action has been taking place around the (fictional, of course) city of Gran Paradiso. Although it’s nice to see it rebuilt after the carnage, it does change the context a bit knowing that there’s a gleaming modern urban area right around the corner from that quaint seaside village:
This entire robot series has been immensely fun, and huge thanks are due to Nobox for their concepts and creativity throughout. Also, props to Mr. Mike Beltzner for figuring out how to tie it all back in to Gran Paradiso in the end.
Coming up next: a variety of robotless designs related to the Firefox 3 launch.

That is such an awesome picture. Whoever did that is a genius.

Does anyone else want to see these robots made available on shirts??? How awesome of a shirt would it be? Especially if the alien being blasted for that one has a little IE logo put in there… *snicker*

Thanks Brenton. I don’t want to give away too many surprises at this point, but let’s just say that you haven’t seen the last of the Firefox 3 robot. Stay tuned…
