Wow, RSotD is early toda…um…
This is not a minifigure
Not a repeat, but it's not the first spider droid to be RMotD, either: https://brickset.com/article/106210/random-minifig-of-the-day-sw0965 Incidentally, why are spider droids allowed to be minifigures, when Lotso isn't? (Yes, I'm still salty about that.) "Oh, but Lotso's an animal!" Lotso was also an actual character! Remove Lotso from Toy Story 3, and you have no major antagonist. Remove spider droids from Episode III, and you have a little less cannon fodder.
The perfect Minifigure doesn't exi-
"Brick Built" Minifigure
It’s not accurate, but I do love the blue color scheme on this one.
That first wave of Revenge of the Sith sets was so good.
Yeah, I'm drawing a line here. This isn't a minifigure.
It’s a classic but not a minifigure
I like to call these “brick built minifigure scale figures”. I consider them part of my minifigure collection and play/display them along with all of my mini-figs. I ain’t Wuher. Droids are welcome here!
Not a minifig
I wonder what the biggest chunk-of-a-set is considered a minifig.
If Siddely from Cars 2 https://brickset.com/minifigs/crs080/siddeley-without-stickers is considered a minifigure, then shouldn't autonomous machines -at minifigure scale- like Hailfire droids 75085 be considered minifigures as well? I mean, where's the line drawn?
"I'm so confused..."

No, you do make a good point.
I consider the original Groot (who was entirely brick-built, in the first GotG line) a minifigure, at least, a figure in his own right.
It really is quite a subjective call.
I’m normally fairly open-minded about what pops up in RMotD, normally got no problem with the brick built figures or minidolls that other people object to…
…but this one feels like a stretch too far even for me
No, YOU'RE not a minifigure!
