This Robotic Arm Technically Isn't A Character But His Presence In Some Concept Art Makes Them Seem Important In Some Way - Tumblr Posts

so you know how in a couple of my earlier posts showing JJ promo art there's been appearances of this robotic hand in a few of them? like in a couple of the Easter ones it appears as like a prop or in the background. well, it actually originates from an early concept for Jetpack Joyride's UI that is seen in the The Art of Halfbrick' book in the section showing concepts for the games Barry's been in. it shows what a logo and UI system for a "2.0" of Jetpack Joyride might have looked like, and it's very... interesting.

i wonder what this robotic hand was meant for. does he have a name? on one of the Easter artworks (the one with Barry sitting on the floor and eating all the chocolate eggs), they have the acronym of EEDD written on him, but i think that was just for the art piece because the acronym doesn't appear anywhere else. what's this funky guy even meant for in the lab? i have so many questions about him and i kinda love him... also wtf does "seano" mean??? is THAT their name?? huh???
