Opinions:
#1: Looks p cool, though not as amazing as #2.
#2: Oh my god. :eek: Definitely gets my vote, never seen something this amazing during my time at GTM during a current BOTM. Epic quote from the H-bomb inventor too. One question though: Does it actually shoot missiles?
#3: Ow...the edge. Like the name reference and Madonna pistols used. I think Enigma built it, because JOJO REFERENCE.
#4: It doesn't have cannons OR pistols wtaf man...well the flamethrowers are called ice cannons, so it technically counts.

Also a very happy birthday to MNB, he released it at the most convenient time!

smh (is joke)

ANyways:

Number 1: Needs more splash work. The text doesn't mesh with the background picture. Give it either a square or background to contrast against, or give it an outline. A little generic too. KillerTurtleG.
Number 2: I'm sorry but no. I don't like OBJRA2 robots that can't actually fight and are entirely custom parts/objra2 chassis parts. It's impressive, but I don't want this sort of bot on the front page. Apologies, Apanx.
Number 3: No. Enigma built this, and if anybody else did then I suggest they leave GTM immediately.
Number 4: Ice cannons don't fit the theme of ashtray (fire). Just call it Frostbite. RedAce?

Honestly, all of them have reasons to not vote for them. Number 4 is the best bot to go on the front page however. Sorry, Apanx.

My verdict on this "month's" BOTM:
1. Not the best splash in the world. But, you got to like the theme of shooting cannonballs to set fire a few things. Love the armour work.
2. HOLY ****ING *****! It's the Nuke Cannon from Command and Conquer Generals! Never spammed them in game but seriously, there must of been some sort of GTM tech Wizard working OBJRA2 to full extent.
3. I don't get the reference since I don't watch Jojo. But nice use of the Alcoholic Stepfather wheels on the other hand.
4. Nice Generic Ironforge bot. Movi.... opps I've reach the end of the list.
Well, that was some turn out some sort of BOTM. Despite only being Four entries due to some of us having exams and real life, the quality of BOTM always seeks to please me with these arty bots and how much some people put into BOTM, just to reach the home page for personal achievement.

Nope.

I just don't like these sorts of robots outside of the classic "No rules" December BOTM's and think that BOTM should be about building cool, effective, impressive designs.

It is ****ing impressive tho, and i'm not denying that.

I just don't think it fits BOTM.

I do respect your opinion Avalanche. I personally do like Number 2 for the fact of being a perfect replica of the Nuke cannon from C&C Generals, but half of the time some people like you may look for something that not only looks more practical like number 4 and also follows the rules more perfectly similar to bots like 3 or 1, but more on the lines of Bots that don't use OBJRA2 wizardry to make real arty bots for the purpose of BOTM, but being more prefer to properly designed bots fresh in the Bot lab. If you remember back to February's BOTM when Apanx made a model of Twilight Sparkles in OBJRA2, users like J love it, but most users didn't wanted to see a empty chassis that just shoots lighting on the front page, they wanted something more real like the actual winner of that BOTM which you know as a proper bot with a purpose of fitting the month's theme. 
So I may of ending up voting for number 2 out of being a purely awesome bot, but knowing your tastes you rather vote for something else, which is ok and I respect that, but number 2 is already the result of all the upcoming BOTMs since February when some people will just create OBJRA2 bots for the purpose of BOTM.

That is a fair point, and I do respect your opinion and I can't change that.  However, I voted for it since I honestly don't prefer any of the other bots here and makes good use of the rules.  But since the impressive OBJRA2 bot is here, it's essentially the most one sided massacre since Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens and Alvin & the Chipmunks: The Road Chip went head to head in cinemas.  Take the bot away and what do we get?  Some underwhelming bots to vote for and something I would be at best okay seeing on the front page.  Of course this is how I see it, but I'm sorry, these BOTM bots have not been great lately and I honestly just skip voting since I could care less about which bot won.  But this one I would love to see on the front page and I voted, which means I actually give a damn this time.  Not trying to start a flame war in the slightest.  It's just how I feel.
