Artist commentary:
I had stumbled across a bunch of electronic noise samples and immediately thought of robots playing Sburb, so I made this entry theme based on it!
The commentary for the track really made me want to do something interesting for the artwork. I originally thought about doing robotic versions of the Beta kids, but thought that it would be boring as hell. I then decided on the idea of having popular robots from fiction with Skaia in the background, similar to the book cover for Act 5 Act 1 with the trolls standing in front of Alternia. I picked Metal Sonic (Sonic the Hedgehog), Robot Ness (EarthBound), Mettaton (Undertale), and Android 18 (Dragon Ball) since they were the robots I was most familiar with. Also, rather than sticking them on a random platform in space, I decided to have them standing on a balcony on Derse, Skaia and Prospit seen in the background.
