1- Bot is honestly superior to the rest, although 090901's bot-kun is about equal in construction. I don't like the splash which has too much color for me, but the design is good.

2- *does magnemite noises* *realizes his mouth can't physically do them* Good artbot, although it doesn't strike me as particularly exceptional.

3- I'm not having THIS splash over the main page, as swag as it is. Also another lol memebot and splash of the month : no thanks.

4- It's too kawaii for my manly sensibilities

5- Now after the super cute bot goes a grim, war-oriented, manly one. However, while the splash's general style is to my liking, the bot itself is n00b-like which is a turnoff.

6- No, I won't vote out of pity.

7- A flipper with a hovercraft engine ? What. Even so, it's not very original or good, so nope.

#1- interesting. I like the splash, very colourful. Is that... Is that Thrackerzod?
#2- actually, the one is pretty cool! Although, due to the pokemon theme, I'm think Wenxianglee.
#3- What the **** is this?! I can't even read the bloody name! Right, this is clearly a joke bot, so I'm thinking 090901 or Meganerdbomb.
#4- interesting bot design, splash is a bit meh. This one could be 090901, as well, really.
#5- Hmm... That is a really basic bot design. The use of different fonts is nice, but it's a bit too edgy for my taste. Is that you, Reier?
#6- A ram plate with magnets attached? Nah. It just wouldn't work. Kingofkings, is that you?
#7- A flying emergency babyyyyyy? Well, considering Deadgenocide's infatuation with emergency, I'm guessing this is him.

Think I'm gonna go for #2, guys.

Don't take offence with any of my guesses, they're all practically shots in the dark.

#1: While the splash looks a little weird, the design overall is pretty good.
#2: Nice.  These are a good use for the magnets for an artbot.  I think Thrackerzod built this.
#3: Yikes.  While #1 feels slightly trippy, I can still see well.  This splash makes me think I'm on LSD (Disclaimer: I have never been on LSD).  I have no clue on who built it.
#4: It's so kawaii, but it's mediocre overall.  I know it's not splash of the month, but you could've at least tried to make a anime style splash to fit the bot.  09 definitely built this.
#5: Nothing very special here.  It feels incredibly basic, so nah.
#6: Feels very edgy to me and doesn't quite look amazing overall.  I think Mechadino made this one as it uses resigned components and stacked snappers.
#7: Uh, okay.  I tried doing this a year ago but I feel someone put more and less effort in this.  How do you do that?

#1 It's good I guess? I'm guessing it veers to one direction though.

#2 haha

#3 no *throws up immensely*

#4 Jesus Christ, it's good but the splash is no

#5 Put em' on a spinning disc

#6 It's decent but Magnets aren't very good for ramming.

#7 Put a spinning lawn mower blade on the top and call it Emergency Helicopter

With how bulky and generally unhelpful the cheatbot parts are, I was expecting an artbot month.  Looks like two people actually made combat-bots though, which is cool.

1. Okay, I know that Chimera is a real word, and that this probably isn't a reference to my bot Chimera (or Bonemera, for that matter).  One of the better entries here, I'd say.

2. ...I thought that said "Evolves into Mettaton!" the first time I read it.  Pretty good replica.

3. No.

4. It looks the same as 1, but with a worse splash.  I mean, I know 1 was a triple hybrid, and that this one has a different flamethrower placement, but they still look the same to me.

5. Seems... impractical?  But it's the only bot to use a cannon, so that's neat.

6. You said it yourself, "It's actually kinda crap".  Not the worst splash here, though (lookin' at you, number 3).

7. ...I'm pretty sure whoever entered this didn't actually build EMERGENCY.  It's a nice splash, though.

Will be voting for 2 or 4.

1 had a good shot based purely on splash but that text fill, ugh...also props to 3 for that reference

1 good build and nice to see a hybrid mw
2 pokemans! Liked it. Voted for it
3 ytp as a splash. Yay
4 cool desingn nice use of the flame thrower
5 unapealing bot with an unapealing splash
6  what is this? Looks not good at all.
7 failed attempt at a joke bot I assume? Would be better with the og emergency flipper setup

1) Click? KOS? Fracture? It's unique, but the splash has me confused on where it is as far as builders. Any of those three would make a less... loud splash?

2) I would say this is Wen but the english is too good lol. Maybe J?

3) Massimo. There's no mistaking that signature YTP style.

4) I kinda wanna say this is Joelu for that reference. Maybe Jonzu? 09? Thrackerzod? All I ever want is you baby?

5) DeadGeno/Red Meme. I can feel it.

6) Mechadino? Playzooki? I seem to be mixing the two of you these days.

7) I haven't a clue in the slightest :dumb)

They're just the default arrows in Paint.net, but I do seem to be the only person to use them consistently.

Thanks everyone!  I liked seeing how many people were able to pin this one on me.  And this time, I won with a non-Mr.-Bones bot, so no one can complain about MEMEBOTZ LOL, hopefully.

Ram-kun was actually the most combat effective tbh. Shoulda gotten more votes.

yea but it was a lazy splash and the bot theme is getting really old

I thought yours was a lot better than your entry last month, if that means anything.

The only difference is that he learnt how to use the Magic Wand tool. TRB, you need to get rid of your black backgrounds and not use 4 different fonts.

He also didn't build a bot that was just a horrible mess.  So there's that.

EMERGENCY TO THE RESCUE is really fuking clever.
However.... Magnemite, which won, is like on a whole 'nother level of silliness. Glad it won.
