Orwell: A Robot You Control (Also, simply known as Orwell) was an animatronic attraction created for ShowBiz Pizza Place in the mid to late 80's. The bot was a retrofitted [[Uncle Klunk (Animatronic)]] That gave patrons the ability to control the Mech using a control module.
Orwell was the first ShowBiz bot to be produced by [[Chuck E. Cheese's]] & not Creative Engineering Inc..

== History ==

=== Concept Art & Origin ===

Orwell's bot was originally meant to be a standing mech in a box with a control module. It's unknown if this would have been a Klunk retrofit or new mech.

=== In Store ===

==== Beta/Cosmetic less Version ====

Orwell was originally a bare Klunk mech that was installed in the gameroom of an unknown ShowBiz store. He would be given a token before speaking some lines. His mechanisms could be controlled using a control module.
Here's a transcript of Beta Orwell's Audio

<blockquote>Orwell: 'Hello, My name is Orwell. I am here to obey Your every command. I have been programmed so you control my movements by pushing the buttons in front of you. I'm ready, when You are.'</blockquote>

==== Final/Split Body Version ====

The Final Version of Orwell had a different voice & Split Body Country Klunk cosmetics. During Orwell's run, an odd pin was created saying, 'I PUSHED ORWELL'S BUTTONS'.

=== Fate ===

The bot was most likely either sold or destroyed at an unknown time.

== Design ==

=== Beta/Cosmetic Less Version ===

The Beta version of Orwell is a bare Klunk mech with no cosemtics. The bot is in a black box.

=== Final/Split Body Version ===

The Final version of Orwell is a split Country Klunk bot. The bot remained in the black box.
