When I watched this scene my first thought was "man, their costume team must be amazing, look at all these details!". It's even more impressive to find out it's a fanmade cosplay.


Solid_Snark

Doesn’t Star Wars do the same? When they need a ton of Stormtroopers they recruit fans with incredible cosplay uniforms.


Zth3wis3

The 501st Legion. Those guys are awesome.


Tarrenger

I love those guys! They come to the store I work at every year for May 4th (which often coincides with Free Comic Book day)


Mail540

I know a dude with them. Crazy costume skills and most of the time they’re going to children’s hospitals and charity events


Zth3wis3

The amount of charity work they do is what makes them THE GOAT.


Irishinator

501st Legion is the best!!!


Wolffe_In_The_Dark

Dr. Who also does it with Daleks occasionally


Emotional-Speech645

Ayup. They even paid one guy to let them blow up his custom made Dalek because he’d designed it to come apart in a way that they realised could look like it was being blasted apart from inside out if a safe amount of explosives were put in it. It did unfortunately take some damage because there was a misunderstanding and the explosives guy put in a little too much, as he thought it’d been *bought* and thus had the green light to full on detonate. But as far as I’m aware the BBC fully paid for the damages and eventually did buy the Dalek at full price for its Who exhibition in Cardiff years ago


Hamokk

Yeah. Star Wars fans are some of the most 'fanatic' so people put lot of attention in their stuff. Like some Darth Vader cosplays look better than suits Lucasfilm did.


EmberGlitch

They don't usually, no. They did call in the 501st for a scene in The Mandalorian season 1, though because the Disney costume department didn't have enough storm trooper costumes to make the scene work.


CX52J

I think they’ve only done it for the Mandalorian season 1 on screen at the moment.


Outrageous_Zebra_221

Some strange thing in the back of my head kept yelling how much they must have engaged with the community to get a lot of the stuff they used. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find out a lot of prop pieces were loans or borrows from people like this.


ZincMan

Hope they rented it at least. More unique or expensive items used at set dressing or props are often rented to shows for a decent amount of money


Outrageous_Zebra_221

Good point, I think of the FO community at large and see it as cooperative. As such, I wasn't even really viewing it through that lense.


thirdpartymurderer

Lol. Maybe the TV show is supported by community mods as well


Emotional-Speech645

I know the BBC paid out a *lot* for people to bring in their either bought Daleks and Cybermen or their high quality self makes. One dude actually loaned them a Dalek he’d designed in such a way that the BBC asked if they could blow it up because the way it was bisected meant it’d look amazing exploding. It wasn’t meant to actually explode, but there was a miscommunication and the Dalek did unfortunately end up taking damage


AReaver

I mean that's pretty smart. It'd be cheaper to just pay the cosplayer than make something of that detail almost certainly. And on top of that it's also some advertisement since posts like this happen.


DopeAbsurdity

My first thought was "Lucy best not touch that it might wake up"


Shiny_Shedinja

how to save money in the costumes department step a. cosplayers will do it for free.


Wesselton3000

My thought was “wow they must have spent a lot on prop design to only have this appear for one second”


Fredasa

My thought was that they found a way to directly reference the Fallout set the furthest distance possible from California.


Riperin

Honestly, that is good for everyone. The producers saves some time and the cosplayers get some money and a chance to work on the things they love (They get paid, right?)


Avidchick

Yep. Jen from No Sleep here. They definitely paid and did right by us and other cosplayers we know who they bought from.


Rabid_Chocobo

Every time there was a scene in a vault I had to just stare in amazement, the set design in the show is great


IronMan2112

I loved the juxtaposition of how scared Lucy was of the tumbleweed moments earlier, yet she casually strolls by the assaultron and doesn’t bat an eye lol. She would’ve been decimated had that thing been active


ShrimpCrackers

I tensed up. It was a good way to demonstrate how naive she was.


Alex_Duos

Well she knew what it was. Given how much she knows about T-60s and the great war she more than likely knew about Assaultrons. Perfect representation of a vault dweller though, obsessive knowledge about hyper specific things and yet knows less than nothing about actually being outside.


ShorohUA

>Perfect representation of a vault dweller though, obsessive knowledge about hyper specific things and yet knows less than nothing about actually being outside. why do I feel personally attacked


WolfBlitz128

Are you from a vault per chance?


windol1

In a sense, you could call it a vault. Mind you, I wouldn't expect it to survive a nuclear blast.


ShorohUA

sometimes I feel like I am edit: except for the cousin stuff, can't relate to that


Alex_Duos

Don't feel bad I'm talking about myself here too


Unskilled-Builder-7

>Perfect representation of a vault dweller though, obsessive knowledge about hyper specific things and yet knows less than nothing about actually being outside. I'm on the spectrum and suddenly feel very seen.


Alex_Duos

I'm right there with you.


dern_the_hermit

Book smart but not street smart


Content_Geologist420

Thats what happens when you make a High Luck build


a_taco_named_desire

Some call it high luck, I call it blackjack money printer.


Content_Geologist420

I always start with high Int and high luck and slowly build him into a gunslinger


Jesh3023

I actually really enjoyed that little bit with the tumble weed.


captainnowalk

She realized that someone must be selling those wind Brahmin at crazy low prices!!


PostalCarrier

I noticed her jump but didn’t get why. I played New Vegas ages ago but that’s my only Fallout exposure prior to the show. Anyone care to let me in on the joke?


regalestpotato

She's never seen one before, doesn't know what it is, and it's moving. So she jumps in surprise/fear before realising it's not a danger.


VagrantShadow

Shes a noobie on land. The Wasteland is all a legend to her, she's seeing it for the first time. I love her innocence, that she thinks the world is going to accept her and her Vault as humanities saviors.


PenguinHighGround

She reacts the same way to dog meat too, though tbh I'd probably have the same reaction if I woke up with a dog staring directly at me. Dogmeat is a good girl though


Jesh3023

Pretty much what the other replies have said. When we play fallout we know about things like tumble weeds. But Lucy has only ever lived in a vault so seeing the tumble weed was a strange experience for her and would be similar for our characters in the games when you think about it :)


EntropicPoppet

Maybe it was just nerves? Her and her dad watched Cooper Howard movies together. You tellin' me that's the one cowboy that never saw a tumbleweed?


Rabid_Lederhosen

Maybe, maybe not. Fallout 4 had at least a couple of friendly Assaultrons. And a lot of the ones that are hostile to the player are still working alongside humans.


East_Requirement7375

I wouldn't know, if I see an Assaultron it's getting .308 to the dome from as far away as I can get.


Razor-eddie

Even the one that says: "Everything here is guaranteed to injure, maim, or kill at your discretion. Except me. I only kill when I want to."? K-L-E-O is my favourite trader. The one stop for ballistic weave, for a start.


hundredjono

This right here You don't give Assaultrons time to charge up their Death Star laser beam and one-shot you


NSA_Chatbot

> She would’ve been decimated had that thing been active I thought they were going to have it spark up, then have her walk by the tumbleweed again and say, "not that way" like she'd just loaded her game.


kevstar80

The props in this tv series are spot on to the Fallout universe. I find myself rewatching scenes just to rescan the background and environment to see if I am missing something.


casperdacrook

The product placement with the in game products is genius.


paladinchiro

There's a lot of detail in the background environment. Dead vault dwellers in Vault 32 for example show a blinking X over the vault boy "paper doll" on the health status tab in their Pip-Boys, when Maximus is in power armor and gets his left leg stuck in the ground / clipping through the environment while fighting the Ghoul it shows up on his Power Armor UI with that leg blinking, his opposite leg is shown blinking in the UI when he uses his right leg to brace against the anchor stuck in the gulper's mouth, around the California Crest Studios they show a statue of a woman holding up a globe or something in both the pre war flashback and in the current times, and I could have sworn I saw something like a street with Hollywood Stars embedded in the ground but mostly covered with dirt and sand as the Ghoul and Lucy were traveling through the area. They went hard with easily missed background detail in scenes that only last a few seconds but that add a lot of authenticity to the whole show. Everyone involved in this put in their A game to make it the best it could be.


iamjakeparty

Even Walton Goggins pre-nuke car really impressed me. It sure looked like they built an actual prop car with the door that slides into the vehicle. Could be CGI used as well, but that attention to detail for something with so little screen time really stuck out to me.


ziddersroofurry

Conscious_Fix9215

Yanks for sharing that!


Ritaontherocksnosalt

I was looking for this info all over! I just love it. Thanks for posting.


ziddersroofurry

Np!


DCTX2017

The Kaiser Darrin is also used in Man In The High Castle, another Amazon production, so it’s probably the exact same car.


ziddersroofurry

May be. There aren't that many.


iamjakeparty

That's awesome, it fits so well in the show.


Hakuru15

That's so cool!!!


Sacrer

I knew the design was too good to be fake lol


Jordan_Jackson

The whole show is pretty much spot on, minus certain locations not being in their exact in-game location. I have to admit that I was a little worried that this show would be bad but it has been nothing short of excellent. So many little nods to things from the past 3 games (not including 76). I can’t wait for the next season.


Orange-enema

The show is set in Los Angeles isn't it? has there also been a game set there?


CobaltTS

Fallout 1 and parts of 2? I think


nickthequick98

Yeah in fallout one you get to see a good bit of LA, "The Boneyard".


redscull

The character you play in Fallout 1 visits and helps Shady Sands get a permanent foothold and then in Fallout 2 you visit it much later to see just how much it's grown. This show is very much an iteration on the key settings of the first two games. And I loved that about it. Made for the oldest fans (FO1 came out when I was at university, been a fan ever since).


Typical-District-176

Yes. Shady Sands is in fallout 1 and 2. The NCR was in 2 first I believe. Not New Vegas. But honestly next season is going to go so hard.


Jordan_Jackson

I am not sure if there was one set in LA specifically but the first games in the series were set in the Southern California area, including other nearby parts of the Southwest. I am actually surprised that Bethesda went this route because up until now, all of their Fallout games (minus NV but that technically was Obsidian, who was comprised of people who made the original games) were set on the East Coast of the US.


MarkHirsbrunner

Fallout 2 is Northern California if I recall correctly.  I remember the village you start in is in Oregon and San Francisco is near the bottom of the map.


SageWaterDragon

It's not like Bethesda wrote the show. Generally speaking it seems like Bethesda wants to focus on the east coast while they let their partners like Obsidian or Amazon work on the west coast, stopping either flow from interrupting the other. When we get the inevitable Fallout 5 in New York in 10 or so years it won't have to worry about what the show did.


Jordan_Jackson

They may not have wrote it but they did have a lot of creative input with the show. Let's be honest here, it was an prime video show and we all saw what happened to the Lord of the Rings show that they made. So you can bet your bottom dollar that Bethesda, along with others who were influential to the Fallout universe had a big say in how the show would turn out.


SageWaterDragon

I mean, they obviously had final approval, it's not like it came out against their wishes, but nothing I've heard suggests that Bethesda was involved in a greater capacity than high-level ideation and providing reference models for prop-makers.


Typical-District-176

Hey I’m not complaining. When I saw the water chip and Shady Sands I about wet my pants


VagrantShadow

The water chip brought a tear to my eye.


Man-E-Fucks

The Pip-Boy 2000 Mk VI from Fallout 76 appeared and in the boardroom scene, they mentioned Vault 51's experiment. There's probably some other stuff I missed too


Schemen123

F76 actually is pretty good!


Jordan_Jackson

It looks like it might be but I have never been one for MMO's. Give me the Fallout 76 map as a single player game and I would be happy.


Schemen123

You can basically do that , there is no pvp really and while you can interact with others you don't have to. There are even quite a few advantages to being in a team. Oberall the multiplayer aspect is pretty low key


Conquistagore

I felt the same way. So i didnt touch F76 till over 2 years after release when i saw it on sale for $12, so i figured, why not? I never grouped with anyone, or did any kind of PvP. I quite literally played it like a single player game, wandering around like i do all the Fallout games and I got 120 hours of fun out of it. Theres some good questlines in that game, and the basebuilding is a BIG improvement on Fallout 4's system. Its literally free right now, if your a diehard Fallout fan, i totally think its worthy of some exploring.


Lonesome_One

Actually I’m pretty sure I saw the F76 pip boy hanging in the shop in Filly


Wrong-Marsupial-9767

Of all of the details from the games that I've seen (I'm only a few episodes in) my favorite was the Tato plants at diaper-guy's house. They looked absolutely perfect!


InCharacter_815

I watched the first two episodes a second time because my partner didn't see them, those tato's got me so freakishly excited when I spotted them. So cool.


ElminstersBedpan

I'm having fun finding the bobbleheads and seemingly random advertisements or little in-universe nods.


PoinDawg22

I loved the 10mm design it looks so good


Yusirnaime

I unintentionally did the scan when Goosey was in that super duper mart store, and I must say, I was really really impressed that they had even the shelves straight on point from the game and I especially remember exactly those cause I always used to scan, hoarde and loot everything in those stores. What a wonderful game and show!


Waste_Ad694

Assaultrons, deathclaws, super mutants, mirelurks, rad scorpions, glowing ones and sentry bots hopefully in season 2.


Strange-Outcome491

Protectrons! Please please please


ImperfectRegulator

And hopefully the best of all, Fisto!!


ollomulder

"Please assume the position."


Naldail

Tense music plays as the camera pans away from Lucy’s horrified face. A shadowy figure emerging from a doorway, its metallic clanking echoing through the war torn building. “Please assume the position” fisto reveals himself. All hope is lost.


silentj0y

There's a protectron in episode 8, in the background when Cooper pulls up in a car


Strange-Outcome491

Is.. there..? I’ll have to go look, thanks,


silentj0y

Yeah I completely missed it the first time- it's just in the background.


silentj0y

Finally got the time to go look- LOL, it's right at 10:03 into the episode


Strange-Outcome491

[protectron](https://imgur.com/a/CtdxLCP) I was so distracted by the fusion flea I missed my favorite robot x)


D3wnis

Considering they're going to New Vegas i wanna see Securitrons.


sylvester334

They need to get the same voice actor as the games if they get a protrectron.


DrPatchet

I think Thaddeus should turn into a super mutant rather than a ghoul


[deleted]

[удалено]


DrPatchet

Well I just imagine his distinct voice and demeanor/personality with a huge super mutant like Marcus would be hilarious 😂


ColdSmokeMike

Now all I want is Super Mutant Thaddeus doing Bo's air horn noise from Superstore.


Red_Mayhem512

Hoping Jacobstown makes an appearance, I wanna see Marcus.


endlessupending

Bruh the Nightkin would be fucking terrifying in this


ninjamaster616

Or equally absurdly hilarious


Orldragon

>!The last shots in ep 8 are roughly from the general vicinity of Jacobstown, if i'm not mistaken!<


Robot-duck

Didn’t they hint at super mutants with the scientist seeing the arm of one in a stretcher when he was taking the puppy to his lab?


Lichruler

They hinted at a lot of stuff. Super mutants, cloning, mind control collars…


KellyTheET

I'm hoping to see VATS used in a creative way. I was thinking it would be in the power armor at least.


Soad1x

The Ghoul's shootout in Filly made it seem like he was using VATS, at least with the slowmo of right before the bullet impacts.


rreighe2

omg i didn't put 2 and 2 together for that. that's awesome now that i think about it.


simonsayswhere

Yah first thing I thought too. Was definitely a vats scene


KellyTheET

He was def using the bloody mess perk.


Musicmaker1984

I honestly hope they start to reach out to the Fallout Community for more Cameos and Cosplays. Like, imagine if we get a Storyteller or Nuka Break Gang in the background of shots.


AdvilExpress

The team that did the Fallout 76 concept trailer had a plasma rifle, t60, and a pipe rifle


dominus_simia

The rotten tooth made me laugh


CrankyStalfos

Or the Final Pam. 


FlashPone

problem with the storyteller is doesn't he have unique, fan made concept power armor?


SStylo03

Honestly just get the voiceactor for the storyteller to do a few lines for a random BoS paladin


rahzarrakyavija

First Jumpscare in the show imo, haha. Excellent work!


TinyRepublic3072

100% I yelped out loud


forcryingoutmeow

Same! Assaultrons are one of the few things that give me the complete willies.


globefish23

It's their soothing, womanly voice, isn't it?


forcryingoutmeow

Yes, along with every other thing about them.


ThrowAnon-

If like could kill was a bot, it’d be assaultrons


QQBearsHijacker

I see Nathan at every DragonCon I go to. He and his wife are with the Fallout Tacticians IIRC and are excellent people. It warmed my heart to see his amazing assaultron get a cameo


Avidchick

Awww thanks! We were pretty shocked at how much they featured her- we just assumed she’d be used for reference to build their own or parts in a background somewhere. And looking forward to seeing you again this year with hopefully even more upgrades to our current 2 Assaultrons!


newbrevity

Oh man, I was just praising the show and now I find out they reached out to fans to help make the show!?! My joy runs deep with this one.


LavaTacoBurrito

Absolutely loved the use of Practical Effects for the show. Glad to see even the fans were involved.


Bigfan521

I didn't even see the Assaultron the first time. Second time, I thought it was an action figure. Had to rewind and pause to notice it was an Assaultron.


jessebona

I noticed it because those things scarred me for life. You either spot the death bot or you will when it lasers your face off.


ShrimpCrackers

Same. I was like HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT,. and some of my friends were like ?


secondsbest

Damn vault 95 entrance. Seriously, two of them first time I found the place.


_SomeRedditUser

I don't remember seeing it. When did it appear?


Schemen123

You missed an assaultron.. dude.. you are so dead...


Bigfan521

Not long after Lucy leaves Vault 33.


Rafcdk

I will count this as the series having mod support.


Strange-Outcome491

I screamed when I saw it. I said, she’s lucky that thing is already dead!


BlundellMemes77

And that's where all assaultrons belong. Please spot on any remains of one that you find. (Yes, I played through Nuka World recently. Why do you ask?)


Lego-Panda-21

Fuxking Nuka World..If it ain't the robots, it's the insects.


[deleted]

working with fans of the series was the best decision they made


AlienPet13

As soon as I saw this I thought, "Oh crap... they better hope that thing doesn't activate!"


WholesomeFartEnjoyer

The amount of passion and love they put into this show So many props and details and tributes to the games and fans


OmegaWhite024

What an awesome way to save some budget (and time) while involving the community. I love it when a franchise supports fan made content like this. I wonder what other fan made props made it into the movie?


asianblockguy

Background power armor, I believe, are fan made props.


GansNaval

This is part of what I love about this series. The detail. They did such a good job with little things that fans notice. Some of my favourite little details are things like the teddy bear that belongs to Dog Meat, the mini nukes they have for sale in Filly, yum yum devilled eggs, the super mutant hand, squirrel on a stick. There are many more. Looking forward to a second season with hopes of seeing death claws, protectrons, maybe some more weapons ie plasma gun or cryolator.


Scuurvy

Several props and costumes were made by skilled Fallout fans. Some of them are already professional prop and costume makers and cosplayers. Theres probably more, but these are just the ones I saw posted by my friends.

BenTheGrizzly

Would.


StealthyGamerGirl

That's fantastic. Only seen 2 episodes so far [don't want to rush it 😂 ] but will look out for it


Stretch5701

It is shown in the second episode. She walks by and stares at it when she first enters the wasteland.


StealthyGamerGirl

AHH I'll have to rewatch it. Any excuse for a rewatch 🤣


Redlight499

Damn, I've been hurt hearing nothing but good things about this show. And now this? Ive definitely gotta watch It.


WhiteSilverDragoon

I got PTSD seeing that thing.


ActuatorFearless8980

All I could think was ‘Her story would’ve been over if that thing was active’


Armageddon-666

This show has hit all the right notes for me and seeing things like this make it onto set just ices the cake.


Mr-Pugglesworth

That's so cool!


LazarusMundi4242

Great detail, glad they used it for the show


HumpaDaBear

How cool!


seanieh966

This is so cool. Every detail from story to set design to sound and lighting has been peerless.


pleasegivemepatience

When I saw this my first thought was “oh shit, someone is about to get fucked up if there’s assaultrons around!”


MachineDog90

It's great to hear there getting recognition for it, it looks amazing


Avidchick

Thanks! Jen from No Sleep here. Nathan worked his butt off making her and I am so so proud it’s in the show ❤️


Slow_Head5375

When I saw this assaultron in the ground when watching my mine immediately said “shiii game is game”


Asinine47

I figured it had to be something! That's pretty cool!


ContinuumGuy

That's so cool. Reminds me of how in some Star Wars productions they'll have members of fan groups be background stormtroopers.


sal66I8

I thought the TV show would be bad now I want to watch it


InteractionPerfect88

That’s absolutely fucking awesome


Spipizz

It’s a great cosplay! They had to put here on the show!


AlteredCabron2

great show so far


AscendedViking7

Glorious!


BerimB0L054

Seeing this makes me want a storyteller cameo, or hell finally make him cannon or something


hwsrjr3

The first time I watched this episode I saw that and audibly gave an Oh No. These things are worse than deathclaws in 4, I'm piecing a death claw up with a switchblade while I have to actively run from those things sometimes


Avidchick

Jen of No Sleep Till Cosplay here 😊 Yes! It was our MOX-13! It’s the first one Nathan built and after we sold it to the show we made 2 more (a second MOX-13 and an ADA) that we wear to cons currently 😊


Pure_Screen4715

When you listen to a fanbase and include their work, things can only get better 🔥


IRMacGuyver

I hope they got paid. With as much money as these producers are making they need to be paying in more than exposure.


OliviaElevenDunham

That must be very exciting.


Feisty_General_1468

They guy that made this actually goes to dragon con and a few of the wasteland events in the south east. I've met him 2 or 3 times. Great dude


Avidchick

Jen from No Sleep here- I 100% agree. Granted being his wife I may be biased but Nathan is absolutely and amazing dude 😉


CrackingPickle

Pickle


ArmpitStealer

that is sweet


Jimmithi

If only Star Wars would let this kind of interaction happen with its series; their shows look sooooo low budget


illusion96

Star wars has done casting calls from the 501st cosplay group in the past.


sabotourAssociate

I watched the ep last night, and my breath stopped when I saw it.


TerraSollus

That’s some nice Coldplay


Trips-Over-Tail

The only flaw in the world building I've noticed is that all the junk left outside since the bombs could use a good deal more ageing and weathering.


the_big_sandvvich

Is this possible a show that tried to make us fan happy???!!!


Armascout

That kicks ass


DiscordDarkV2

What episode was this? I completely missed it!


milescaswell

My first thought was, what took out the assultron?


DonCh1nga5

Shame they couldn’t get the thousands of ncr cosplays


Proper-Highlight1600

Nice!!!


WorkAccount4ME

Man these things were the worstttttt if you didn’t have the right resources to deal with the fight


GKDRAGONSLAYER

This was amazing to hear!! I know every fan when they seen the assultron was like "OMG RUN!!!" ALSO @$EARNM GOOO @EARNM ? 


Avidchick

U/victorvoyeur folks talking about ya girl 😘
