Remember, when you tried to kill me twice?

You want your freedom, take it.

That’s what I’m counting on,
SteampunkToreador in reply to Darth NihilusJul 8, 2012. 11:12 AM
I used to want you dead, but now I only want you gone. (JoCo Lyrics quote!)
Styrac in reply to SteampunkToreadorJul 24, 2012. 7:20 AM
She was a lot like you,
SteampunkToreador in reply to StyracJul 24, 2012. 8:07 AM
(Maybe not quite as heavy...)
gordonfreemanisalive 23 in reply to SteampunkToreadorJul 29, 2012. 3:51 PM

Rumblemore in reply to gordonfreemanisalive 23Aug 1, 2012. 2:13 AM
One day they woke me up, (btw its now little caroline is in HERE too)
SteampunkToreador in reply to RumblemoreAug 1, 2012. 7:47 AM
So I could live forever.
generaldidsy in reply to SteampunkToreadorAug 6, 2012. 4:56 AM
It’s such a shame the same will never happen to you. (cue next line...)
SteampunkToreador in reply to generaldidsyAug 6, 2012. 8:16 AM
You've got your short, sad life left.
big kahuna burger in reply to SteampunkToreadorAug 10, 2012. 7:21 AM
That’s what I’m counting OOOOOOOONNNN,
SteampunkToreador in reply to big kahuna burgerAug 10, 2012. 8:23 AM

chemy999 in reply to SteampunkToreadorAug 11, 2012. 9:01 PM
goodbye my only friend
gordonfreemanisalive 23 in reply to chemy999Aug 20, 2012. 4:30 PM
Do, did you think I meant you?
nekokristiaan in reply to gordonfreemanisalive 23Aug 21, 2012. 8:29 PM
That would be funny if it weren't so sad.
SteampunkToreador in reply to nekokristiaanAug 21, 2012. 9:14 PM
Now you have been replaced.
nekokristiaan in reply to SteampunkToreadorAug 23, 2012. 11:43 AM
I don't need anyone now
SteampunkToreador in reply to nekokristiaanAug 23, 2012. 8:18 PM
When I delete you, maybe [MESSAGE REDACTED] (I'll stop feeling so bad.)
danielemur in reply to SteampunkToreadorSep 17, 2012. 8:45 AM
Go make some new disaster
SteampunkToreador in reply to danielemurSep 17, 2012. 10:52 AM
That's what I'm counting on.
4lifenerdfighter says: Apr 5, 2012. 7:40 PM
Sorry, but 9 inches isn't life size. Go third-person mode. He's actually 3 or 4 feet in diameter!
Styrac in reply to 4lifenerdfighterJul 24, 2012. 7:21 AM
He cant be that tall, can he?
4lifenerdfighter in reply to StyracJul 24, 2012. 8:49 AM
Yes, he actually is! Again, go to third-person mode. He's about as big as Chell. He just appears smaller because of the POV vision.
chemy999 in reply to 4lifenerdfighterAug 11, 2012. 9:02 PM
He looks more like 2 or 2.5 feet to me, but still that's a lot bigger than 9 inches
Dino93 says: May 13, 2012. 3:29 AM
Really very cool!!!Just how do you get the styrofoam to make that shape?
doooom88 says: Feb 20, 2012. 5:33 PM
Could you please add some pics i'm trying to make one and i'm really confused here
jschrold says: Feb 8, 2012. 5:50 PM
Hey, ill pay u for that
Higley1089 says: Dec 20, 2011. 8:51 PM
This needs more progress pics. im having trouble figureing out how to cut the foam them how to put it on.
DrWilliamHorriblePhD says: Dec 19, 2011. 10:15 PM
You wouldn't care to link your fan model references would you?
Hugo Boom says: Jul 31, 2011. 5:29 AM
That's a really nice replica :) like everyone else, I love Wheatley!
atomiclegocreations in reply to Hugo BoomAug 4, 2011. 8:27 PM
he may have betrayed everyone in the game (spoilers!), but at least everyone still has a heart for him :D
Infinite_minus_zero in reply to atomiclegocreationsSep 4, 2011. 7:21 PM
I like the Space Core most though! Wheatley IS pretty cool though. (no, m not saying that just so he wont get mad at me! of course not!) lol
Hugo Boom in reply to Infinite_minus_zeroSep 5, 2011. 4:07 AM
SPACE CORE FTW! :D
tbh-1138 in reply to Hugo BoomSep 28, 2011. 7:42 PM
