I'm probably not going to use this format for next month since it doesn't seem that popular with a lot of people and it's way too cluttered compared to the other format. post your thoughts if you feel for it or whatever

It does feel like a bit of a scattershot entry list this month. You've got okamifan's dumb poop-bot, Remedy looks horribly messy and is over the MW limit, and then you scroll down and ****ING MEGATRON

There is a ballast in the chassis.


...and think it’s messy- FUNCTIONALITY OVER LOOKS. This thing has destroyed bots with twice the number of weapons... Because there’s so many armor plates on the bot that it takes literally forever to destroy Remedy. It also has 10 mm. Plastic, which is really tough.

Megatron’s the new BOTM. No doubt about it.

See, that's the thing. "Functionality over looks" is fine for tournament entries, but it's the exact opposite of what you want and need for BOTM. BOTM is 50% "how much of a technical achievement your robot is", and 50% "how good it looks, and how good your splash looks". IF-IRL robots are a very rare sight (which is why I didn't realise it was an IF build at first, tbh), so that counts in its favour, but I stand by my statement: it looks too messy to be a BOTM contender. If the panels were arranged more neatly, I'd like it a lot more.

Welp, the other robots are screwed. We have MEGATRON as our winner. BotOfTheMonth, please put that on the front page right now!

It isn't over yet! Remember out of all 14 bots, three of these will end up on the front page. Don't rule out the chances of all the other entries are screwed, there's going to be another two places if MEGATRON wins one.

I think i can say for sure that 1000% megatrom wins the first place.
It will be interesting who gets 2nd and 3th place! :o

Yeah, to add, surprised your IF IRL bot got a vote at all, given how messy and ugly it is tbh. And yeah, people are going to vote IRL or artbot over stock because looks

Pack it up, the GTM award for best BOTM of 2019 has already been won by Reier. I highly doubt anyone can top the Gundam. Nice work to NeonCalypso, that bot just looks cool.

Also I hope at least someone got a chuckle out of B.M. Mooner even though it lost, and even though it proves I am an immature person.
