A big missed opportunity with the new Nunubot

As you may know, the new Nunubot looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/a2x2xuE.jpg

As soon as I saw that picture it just flashed into me... These two could have been Hiro and Baymax from Big Hero6, just look at them: https://i.imgur.com/bQpUnLM.jpg

Hiro and Baymax's relationship is even similar to those of Nunu and Willump's. A heartbroken kid is given, after he has lost one of his loved ones and a gentle creature helps him out, pulls him out of sorrow and gives him reasons to live. (Heck, even Hiro's and Nunu's riding posture are resembling each other)

I know copyright issues would have occured with this one, but this wouldn't have been the first time for Riot to "borrow" from a non-Riot franchise (the Chosen and Forsaken skin lines, Prehistoric skins and so on)

They could've used a similar narrative (and it still probably could)

but using the design I think would be too far from the original nunubot design. He looked more like a steampunk rather then an exoskeleton covered in air inflated material.

Plus i think what people really want is his iconic nunubot laugh and quotes.

nah, this canti looking willump is much cooler.

and i feel like it's narrative is much closer to what that movie should've been about. I liked it but fuck i wanted it to be about robot battles so bad.

{quoted} Prehistoric skins and so on

Didn't know 'dead dinosaurs' was a franchise.
