Blast Proof

"Advantage #7: Blast Proof. The LIN Demolitionmech is One Tough Droid."

- Excerpt from the advertising campain for LIN Demolitionmechs

Blast Proof was the title of advertisement made by SchaumAssoc for Cybot Galactica's LIN Demolitionmech line of droids as part of their advertising campaign.

In the advertisment, several demolitionmech were floating free in space while being fired at by the turbolaser of a battleship. Despite the heavy amount of fire, the droids, which had been violently knocked around due to the laser bolts, emerged intact without a scratch.

Numerous customers actually decided to test the blastproofness of their demolitionmechs by exposing them to blaster fire. In real life, the droids were obviously not blastproof, and Cybot Galactica received numerous inquesries and even more complaints from their customers. Initially, Cybot Galactica pointed out to complaining customers that it was merely a "clear comic exaggeration", but eventually they decided to pull the add altogether.
