The stock IG-88 has a very unsuitable envelope and skeleton, giving holes in the models and protrusions in the arms and legs. I am here to fix THIS:
So with no further stalling:
*Improved* IG-88
To highlight some better features:
-Head is frozen and can't move (seriously, IG-88 can't move his head)
-Arms redone with high-poly cylinders
-Arms and legs no longer split or protrude at joints
-Other areas of the body are weighted more appropriately (like the hands sticking more to the handles now)
-Shins are weight locked(they no longer bend organically)
-Belt-sash added
-4 high-poly cylinders are added to waist
-specular bumpmap added
Got it? Well, you may attain the product here:

I've been hoping someone would fix IG-88 for a long time. Kudos to you, my friend.

Nice! Finally one that won't squirm and move like a human! NEXT: Improved IG88 II featuring special "Robo-Dance" (lol)
very nice. And I wasn't aware IG88 couldn't move his head. How is he able to bounty hunt if he can't even look around?

If you look closely at his head you'll see he has photoreceptors pointing in all directions (I was about to type eyes but it sounded too creepy

) Also, the big one can swivel.

You could always release an IG-88 v2 inclusive TEV II or TEV patch. I can think of a fair few fixes and ideas.
A partially off-topic list...

offtopic: do I smell a new Exile's Voyage (with campaign?)???
Anyway, is it possible to make IG-88's head spin around and stuff? I want to see his eyes swivel so the rebs can flee with the heeby-jeebies crawling on them!

offtopic: Do I smell a new Exile's Voyage with new maps and gamemodes and eras and optional toaster oven?

I think it's fine as-is, but if AQT wants to release a patch that's up to him.
@MrCrayon - to make his head swivel like
that would require new animations. So, technically, yes, it's possible. It's not worth the trouble, though.

It would require some serious model editing too.

O rly?
I just watched the Empire Strikes Back a couple of minutes ago, and in the three seconds IG-88 is on he turns his head lol.
Anyway, sweet work, looks 5x better.
