History
The Fatz Geronimo Mijjin would start development and be finnished in 1993 [2] The bot is an improved version of the Fatz Geronimo (Early Mijjin) built the year prior,with the major diffrences being the bot having a standard Mijjin mech and various cosmetic diffrences,mainly in the tuxedo.
The first 2 New Rock-afire Explosion shows built known as the "beta" shows had multiple minor cosmetic and scenic differences from later shows.The only major diffrence on Fatz being the color of the buttons on his Tuxedo.Instead of the typical orange buttons,the first show,initially used as the proggraming stage but then shipped to Pleasure Island had black buttons.The second show,used on Creative Engineering 's programing stage and built right after the first show was shipped out had white buttons.
