Murderbot is a sci-fi TV series currently streaming on Apple TV, inspired by the book series The Murderbot Diaries written by Martha Wells. The plot follows the perspective of a Cyborg guard (known as a SecUnit) who goes rogue and defies its programming after it somehow manages to discover free will. In the show the main character is played by Alexander Skarsgård and it's quite entertaining. Our friend Dane Hallett provided a ton of concept artwork for the series – many of which for the main Murderbot and SecUnits themselves! Below are some alternative suit designs and damage explorations Dane recently shared to his Instagram:
