I've recently taken an interest in the Venture Brothers series and thought how cool it would be to have your Cowboys run into them sometime.  In fact, as homage to the show, I plan on making a BHB adventure featuring the Venture Brothers for Origins 2009

Of note about the builds: I have an unwritten rule that none of my write-ups will use more than 200 XP.  Brock Samson could certainly be more (my first go at him was over 350 XP) – but I still think he turned out pretty good considering

Notes
As a robot, H.E.L.P.eR could potentially be ‘repaired’ from death by Dr. Venture if needed, but otherwise seems to heal from damage as a normal character.  H.E.L.P.eR communicates through a series of moops and meeps, but no one but the Venture Brothers seem to understand it.  As a Plot Device, he can occasionally produce various items of weaponry or equipment from his chassis.

What other Venture Brothers characters deserve a Write-Up?

BZ

[Kedamono]

What other Venture Brothers characters deserve a Write-Up?

BZ

Dr. Girlfriend and her malevolent moppets: Tim-Tom and Kevin

Henchman 21 and Henchman 24

Phantom Limb

And of course, if you dare, David Bowie
 

[BerkaZerka]

Those sound good (Especially 21 and 24) – I’ll probably try to plink them out as I can – a bit busy right now though…  Of course anyone is free to start their own builds too

[The Harlequin]

Baron Underbite or whatever his name is?

Baron Underbite or whatever his name is?

That's Baron Werner Ünderbheit, the one time leader of Ünderland. Now, deposed, he's keeping busy. I think.
