StarsBR Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I couldn't help but notice the design similarity between the Omnidroids from The Incredibles and Celestial Champion. Were devs inspired by the movie?

Mike23Ua Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Yes? Maybe? Klei loves to reference other tv shows, cartoons & movies in their game. Chester (appropriately named Chester) is named after the same named creature that the Grandmother from Halloweentown carries around that is a literal suit case with feet, a tongue, teeth, and a tail. But honestly? Only Klei really knows rather Champion is or isn’t supposed to be inspired from the Omnivoid. & I doubt we will ever get any official confirmation.. *Shrugs* Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/133968-is-the-celestial-champion-inspired-by-the-incredibles/#findComment-1498447 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun fact: Chester is technically a Lawyer. His full name is Otto von Chesterfield, esquire. The esquire part being typically appended to a lawyer's surname. However esquire can also mean "a young nobleman who, in training for knighthood, acted as an attendant to a knight."; and that would make more sense considering what Chester's role is. But I'm running with the headcanon that he is a representative in a court of law. Waitin' on my Lawyer-Chester skin.
