Description The Aperture Science Mythical Reptile Testing Initiative-- a long-forgotten project meant to test how subjects reacted to large robotic constructs of legendary inspiration roaming their testing environments. The project was dropped in favor of other more promising subjects-- namely combustible lemons-- but GLaDOS seems to have resurrected it as a way for her to more directly... 'observe' her experiments. I seem to think she built it in a hurry though, seeing as I used turret parts, old personality cores, and much of her old body to build it...perhaps the labs are in some sort of danger she has to get directly involved with. *Shrugs* Maybe, like most Aperture technologies, it has no real logic behind it.

I realized while redesigning her that I'm better at drawing robots than I thought; while I'm still not very good, I feel this is a major improvement over the first one. In that one, I covered a lot of her inner workings up, hiding the fact I couldn't draw them. Both versions are good, and both had about the same amount of thought put into them-- but in the end, this one is my favorite. I hope you like it too!

Sorry the shadow's so sloppy; by the time I got around to it I was anxious to get this thing up here! I hope you can forgive me...

GLaDOS and Aperture Laboratories belong to Valve.

Actually, before even getting Portal 2, I had the idea that maybe, to make things different, GLaDOS will rebuild herself as some kind of mobile robot final boss thing. Still, Valve managed to make things awesome in their own way)))

Again, I really, really like this design. Though I think it looks more feline than reptylian ^^'
This thing must be kind of huge.

In the first Portal, I guess they thought about the player having to chase GLaDOS as she fled down a corridor, but they scrapped it-- so a mobile GLaDOS hasn't always been out of the question! In a way though I'm glad they went with the final version. ^^
Who knows, maybe for Portal 3... lol.

She is sort of catlike I guess; I was worried her 'ears' might remind people of Toothless, but it hasn't been a problem so far. I tried calculating how long this would be... it ended up being close to 70-80 feet. @-@;

lol the final boss was opposite, instead of taking away cores, you attached them

Oh my gosh, this is AMAZING. She looks strong, which I find hard to do with lizard-y things. Yet even though she looks exactly like a reptile, you can still see that it's her, if you know what I mean.

I tell ya what, if this thing was in the core transfer part, it woulda been a lot harder to hit that button. xP

Heh, thank you! I know exactly where you're coming from- glad you think I got the message across that this is GLaDOS, just as a dragon. ^^

And yes, if this were in-game, we'd all have been in trouble. ^^
