Marcus L. Rowland reviewed Traveller Alien Module 8: Robots for White Dwarf #85, and stated that "The rules are clear and reasonably concise, and suggest a few interesting scenario ideas. At 56 pages this isn't the most useful rules supplement for a Traveller campaign, it's more for completists and GMs." [1]
