This LoRA captures Mike the TV, the loud, fast-talking, over-the-top television-headed character from the classic CG animated series ReBoot. This version is optimized for stylized cartoon or toon render engines, replicating his highly expressive face-screen and flexible mechanical body.

📺 Character Overview

Mike the TV is a sentient, humanoid television character with a classic cathode-ray screen for a head. He's known for his exaggerated expressions, manic energy, and non-stop commentary. This model was trained on over 200 curated frames directly from ReBoot episodes, ensuring accuracy in proportions, expressions, and body shape.

🔧 Physical Characteristics

• Head: CRT-style screen with golden metallic casing; thick black screen border; antenna on top

• Face: Large expressive eyes (varied styles: dot pupils, oval eyes); flexible animated eyebrows; expressive mouth displayed on screen

• Body: Constructed of bronze/gold segments resembling mechanical joints; stylized gears in chest and hips; midsection composed of two gear-rimmed circular cavities

• Arms/Legs: Thin, segmented, wooden toy-style limbs with red gloves and red shoes

• Color Palette: Bronze gold, polished wood, red highlights (gloves/shoes), blue accent bolts

🎭 Expression and Personality

• Extremely expressive face with exaggerated eyebrow and mouth movement

• Energetic posing, waving arms or pointing

• Often depicted in exaggerated, exaggerated “TV host” or “commercial announcer” poses

• Capable of silly or over-the-top emotional reactions (shock, crying, winking, etc.)

📷 Rendering Style Notes

• Output Resolution: Best results at 512x512 or 768x768

• Style: Optimized for toon and semi-3D cartoon rendering

• Lighting: Works well with both simple flat lighting and dramatic shadows

• Camera Angles: Supports frontal, 3/4, and low-angle shots—keep the antenna and facial screen clearly visible for best recognition

• Avoid: Blending with photorealistic human models, extreme realism prompts (may produce double mouth artifacts or uncanny fusion with humanoid styles)

⚠️ Known Limitations

• May occasionally produce double mouths or misaligned face features if face area is partially occluded or over-detailed

• Works best in scenes with clear visibility of the full head and simple backgrounds

• For character consistency, keep prompt focused on Mike, avoid mixing multiple strong LoRAs unless carefully balanced

• To avoid visual noise, avoid using "TV character" in prompt unless you are thematically blending
