Robot VS Steampunk! Machine Colour Comparison

When you think of machinery in Neopia, there are two lands which should come to mind: Virtupets Space Station and Moltara. Virtupets Space Station is hi-tech & futuristic with machinery like computers, lasers, and holograms. Moltara is based on the “steampunk” genre so its machinery is made from steam power, hydraulics, gears, pipes, and modified Victorian clothing. These aesthetics are also seen with the two colours strongly associated with these lands: Robot for Virtupets Space Station and Steampunk for Moltara. What style of machine someone prefers is their own preference... BUT that’s no fun so let’s compare them in: ROBOT VS STEAMPUNK! MACHINE COLOUR COMPARISON No matter whether you choose circuits or gears, The cost to paint your Neopet one will bring you to tears! Before we pit electricity against steam (kids, don’t try this at home), let’s cover some ground rules: 1. The comparisons will mainly be between how the Neopets look when you first paint them their respective colour (and how they do when you look them up in the Rainbow Pool): Robot Neopets will be wearing their full outer casing and Steampunk Neopets in their entire attire & accessories. If something about their base designs under their clothes is notable (especially with the Robot Neopets) I may give it a mention (and include an image) and they could be used to decide tiebreakers. 2. So that everyone has a good look at each pair, I highly suggest looking them up on the Rainbow Pool. 3. And most importantly, these are just my opinions and it’s all in good fun. Feel free to agree or disagree (especially if you agree). ;) Now with all that settled, onto the comparisons! ACARA: We start off pretty basic with the Robot Acara. The sleek Robot design looks cool, and funny they gave it a “tail” antenna, but nothing much stands out.
