Okay then, I was expecting more bots to be based around the requirements that MNB gave out. But my Verdicts:
1. The Splash is more borderline okay, but the bot is well built and well themed around MNB requirements.
2. Hi Asbestosstar! Moving on.
3. Feels perfect to have a love heart themed robot at this time of year, then turning them into a sweet weapon. This should win a few votes.
4. Honestly, everything present on this splash makes me wanting to tear it to pieces. The splash looks like someone first time in Photoshop and that person accept everything on the first attempt without feedback. A poorly made bot with a questionable skin and easier to see flaws that can be pointed out: lack of effectively, placed weaponry, overly large chassis and being incredibly underweight for both a crusierweight and a heavyweight; and a lack of effort in fitting the bot to the theme.This does sound a little too hard, but I expect a lot more for bot of the month entries than this.
5. Nice Dragon.Despite being underweight, the extender work is well done.

We've seen 2 before :really_makes_you_think:
That's because Asbestosstar tried to enter his entry into August's BOTM last year, that's why.

1. Well it's not bad by any means!
2. Don't see what it has to do with the theme but it's not that bad regardless.
3. Well this is pretty cool...I think I know who built it.
4. Hey Steve. I know who built this...and speaking of which...

I think you've been a little too hard here. For all you know, this could be a joke entry or someone's first bot or whatever...then you're here ripping them to bits for it. Granted it doesn't fit the theme but you don't see me ragging onto them like a bulldog.
5. Utterly adorable! It's so cute! :heart_smiley:

I apologize for my behavior. It was just that even when it's someone first bot for BOTM, I do expect that they do put in the effort into not just the bot that fits the theme, but also the effort into making the splash to what other people expect from them. For this case, the bot and the splash doesn't worked out and this made me feel like I wanted to tear the splash apart by pick out the flaws. Though I shouldn't of done it in a harsh way and should of just acted calmly about it and use constructive criticism.

assbees why did you take a screencap of your bot in the botlab and then paint it white using ms paint instead of just skinning it white in game

sailor jupiter didnt get my vote but i appreciate the pun

idek what steve is referencing but for a minimalist splash it isnt awful i guess

mr snuggles is a cute lil dragon, i would snuggle him

Since I'm now unmuted following what I consider a pretty dumb move, here's my opinions.


1. Nice pun and skin. Doesn't get my vote, though. Dunno who built this.
2. Sigh....this again. Still better than the average Asbestosstar build (I actually think he's improving quite a bit in DSL), but it's still sh** IMO compared to bots today.
3. I love it but it's not getting my vote because it's DSC. No insult intended but DSC can you just let the others here have a chance next month?
4. Why hello Evil Toaster. Onwards.
5. Awwww what a cute dragon. Gets my vote because it's just awesome, no doubt. Guessing PrimevalMamba built this.


And I think that's all I have to say.
my weeb headass with my anime avatar is gone

4. Honestly, everything present on this splash makes me wanting to tear it to pieces. The splash looks like someone first time in Photoshop and that person accept everything on the first attempt without feedback. A poorly made bot with a questionable skin and easier to see flaws that can be pointed out: lack of effectively, placed weaponry, overly large chassis and being incredibly underweight for both a crusierweight and a heavyweight; and a lack of effort in fitting the bot to the theme.This does sound a little too hard, but I expect a lot more for bot of the month entries than this.

Thanks the the criticism. I personally just reused a bot I had a screenshot of on my phone and edited it in pixlr. The chassis for it is one of my more compact bots and it is rather under weight, I just wouldn’t say incredibly under weight. Speaking of the weaponry, I don’t really know what you’re trying to get at. It is a rather deadly bot. I would say it fits the theme because Steve is my waifu. And if you really wanna rip it to shreds, print it out and go nuts.
