Its solar panels were reddish purple, like wings of a giant butterfly, and gay little highlights sparkled all over its structure.

All he has to do is stand up and you know that he's playing to perfection a crabby, self-dramatizing, infinitely egotistical (and very funny) petty tyrant. His stomach has all the gloom of W. C.
