I like the way you used sketchy undefined lines, it really gives more character to the scene without clearly defining.
Its the reason a lot of people like their sketches more than their finished product.
I for one, love this.

i vote C, A is cool, but C would look best as a cover.

C has all the elements I like from the other 2 (minus possibly a football mech). Also killer composition.

the thing that bother me about this one is, I don't know how it fit in with everything else, I have the series, i know the story, (read it all, many many times) if i never read the book, i be thinking "are they controlling the robots? i don't really get the sense that they are being pursued by them or not. that one i like about B version it show the humor that is in the book., so maybe in the next one, maybe have football bot vs attack bot or something, since i don't how you are going to end it (end? end??? there can be no end!!!) you need to balance more the intrigue and the comedy that has been in your other books, unless this one is all serious all the time. and again this is your vision, we are just along for the ride. you've done well grasshopper!!

ZazMan, first of all, thanks for buying the books and coming along on this adventure.
You bring up some very good points. If I never read the books, this cover does look like they are controlling the robots. Maybe, that is what initially bugged me about this design. I just couldn't place my finger on it.
I do like this cover. BUT it does send the wrong message.
There are a ton of misleading covers out there. Tons of covers that just look cool, but doesn't service the story. This cover is definitely in that category. Cover A and B serve the story and tone of the series...
Thanks for bringing that up!

I do agree with Zazman also. Someone with no knowledge might just think that.
If you still like this design. Maybe changing the characters position and the facial expression like looking around at the robots, no?
It's really up to you, my friend.

This one is cool also! As long as there's a cheerleader in it, it works for me! He he. Seriously though, very cool composition.
