How Did Eric Melson get involved with Richard Hatch and Become Part of the Production"Battlestar Galactica the Second Coming?
Eric met Richard Hatch at a Sci Fi Convention in San Francisco back in 1996. Richard Hatch Saw Eric in his Re Invisioned Cylon Centurion Robot Costume for the first time and was impressed on the authenticity of the Centurion and happy to see that the design was different but very close to the original. The Melson Design appeared to be a Logical Step into the future of what the Centurion may have become over some time. Richard Hatch pitched the idea of becoming part of the project and Eric Melson accepted.
What were the influences for the Melson Cylon Design? Robot Cop was a huge influence along with "ABC ROBOT from Judge Dred and the "Guyver" There were other influences that helped perfect the Melson Design to appear more Robotic and not to look too much like a Guy in a Suit with Armor sewn on it. Children were one of the biggest critic's to Eric and inadvertantly by their curiousity helped Eric improve his design to appear very realistict. Children were always looking for the Man in the Machine untill the Design was modified enough to give no traces of flesh or fabric of anykind.
