Unhelpful police sketch of masked bank robber

Have you seen this man? He is wanted for robbing the Government Savings Bank (GSB) in Bangkok. Link

It's the robot from the movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still".

There is nothing under the mask. This is a real life Doctor Who episode.

Oh, Master Chief, how you have fallen. I guess those plasma grenades don't come cheap.

Riot police are robbing banks now?

I went to The Day the Earth Stood Still first. But I see where the others are coming from.

Klaatu bank-kata niktu!

No way - I saw that guy the other night in The Black Hole...

They should havejust said "Gort! Klaatu barada nikto"

Oh nos! It's Snake Eyes from G.I. Joes!

Hey, isn't that Mr. Roboto?

[#20 posted by hellhead , February 4, 2008 11:22 AM]

Wasn't that guy in THX-1138?

[#21 posted by ecobore , February 4, 2008 11:25 AM]

Gort, put the money down!

[#22 posted by ZehnKatzen , February 4, 2008 11:27 AM]

Yeah. That guy is one of my cow-orkers!

Except when he drives his Saturn to work. Then he has a real face.

Weird

About as helpful as any other police sketch I've seen.

[#24 posted by FarrisGoildstein , February 4, 2008 11:37 AM]

Anyone else thinks we should be looking for Cybermen? Were there Daleks involved as well?

Actually, it looks more like Gort.

Cobra Commander (or is that Snake Eyes?) has resorted to robbing banks?! This recession business must be real.

[#26 posted by Takuan , February 4, 2008 11:55 AM]

the stupid thing is that the sketch might even help.
If someone saw a man wearing a helmet outside the bank, they may have noted what he drove off or where he went, or something useful. A sketch is better than a written description and the whole thing is so laughable, people might take more interest than otherwise

And here it is! The draw-a-face police sketch!

It would seem Anonymous needed some extra funds for the Feb 10th Scientology protest.

Klaatu barada nikto.

@#17
Sorry Grunt, you already said that.

[#31 posted by hellhead , February 4, 2008 1:21 PM]

Sad thing is he was pulled over 2 blocks from the bank in a COBRA HISS and released because this sketch didn't com out in time.

That would be Blankface; Dick Tracy is on the case.

Master Chief isnt making enough money off of Halo 3?

[#35 posted by Idle Tuesday , February 4, 2008 3:51 PM]

I'm afraid of what's behind the mask...

[#36 posted by VMOS , February 5, 2008 6:22 AM]

Cobra commander is obviously running out of funds, he's sent a B.A.T. out to stock up

It's just a regular full-face motorcycle helmet. I have one that looks a bit like this. The reason the helmet looks so weird is because the artist made the visor too reflective, and it is also way too large. It reaches all the way down to below his chin. A real helmet's visor should only be about half as large is it's drawn.

What next? Blow up the ocean? Turn babies into gold?

Here's a screencap from the security camera showing the robber instructing the teller to fill the bag with money:
