#1 & 2 BOTMEFTW (Bot Of The Month Entry From The West)
#3 and 4 Very interesting and are probably interesting in battle
#5 Loving that distorted Final Fantasy logo
#6 [movefast]HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM[/movefast]

lol at #5

artsy side hammer vs. artsy hammer
aaaaaaaahhhhh which one
halp
-
#1: Memebot. Yeah okay.
#2: This bot is a mess. That's all I can say.
#3: Here is a BOTM entry that's legitimately badass, and I have a heavy feeling it was built by Click.
#4: Uhh, okay. That splash isn't helping as it massively distracting, and disgusting to look at, in contrast to the generic bot.
#5: As 09 said, it's a klone, but it when compard to the entrants we have here, it's not bad. Could be better though.
#6: A refrigerator setup for a splash? Okay then. Doesn't work well with the bot that's presented.
So it's #3 or #5. Tough choice.
-
the red blur made #2
-
#1 and 2, I have no idea. I feel like #2 is supposed to be something but I can't for the life of me figure out what.
#3 looks cool and I like the use of those giant razors that are normally so unwieldy. Has Urjak started building Ironforge again?
#4 is probably actually the best bot here from a competitive standpoint. Do you vote for looks or effectiveness?
#5: Creative take on Ice Phoenix with only one wing. It looked weird at first but I get it now. I feel like it needs an absurdly long sword or something to go with the Sephiroth theme though.
#6 - did someone actually print out screenshots, make a collage, and take a photo of it? That's some dedication. Normally I try to disregard the splash when voting, but I feel like I should make an exception in this case... if only the bot was bigger and easier to see. And also not a semi-jokebot.
-
wow, really should have entered but i always forget.
#3 is the best. #5 is nice as well butttt it's sepiroth themed which kinda makes me NOT want to vote for it. also the spikes are a bit numerous and messy unless 3's spikes which are more tastefully arranged.
did i mention how 3's side hammer (which I did not notice) looks like spider chelicerae ? no ? because i should and that's a positive point.
I'm not sure if 3 is Click or Urjak, though.
the others are ugh. either there are LOL MEMEBOTS LOL AM I FUNNY YET ? XOXO or average bots which are not especially cool and don't really have place in botm. at least the latter are actual bots.
-
#1- bit of a messy bot, and a pretty plain splash. Meh.
#2- no comment, this genuinely looks terrible
#3- interesting splash. I like it.
#4- I would vote for any bot on earth, but I won't vote that.
#5- I do love a good bit of FF, but Sephiroth is a pretty overdone character
#6- now THIS is talent.
-
#1 - Looks like a leaning tower of crap
#2 - Looks like a leaning tower of a whole load of crap
#3 - Very cool well built bot with a great design
#4 - Better built than i first thought i guess, but bland with an unflattering splash
#5 - Meh, cool concept courtesy of Click, but having not played final fantasy, this just ends up looking like a half finished bot to me.
#6 Oh, ok then. I have no mouth and I must scream.
Wish my laptop hadn't been playing up the last few days or i could have finished my entry's splash. Ah well, good to see a relatively high turnout.
-
#3 is the obvious choice.
#6 has the best splash, but there's no excuse for building a 4wd bot in Ironforge unless it's a rammer.
The rest are so bad they made me cringe.
#2 actually gave me cancer.
-
#1- memebot
#2- awful bot, awful spash (nice mouse cursor bro)
#3- great design and looks like a decent fighter
#4- generic, but not bad
#5- never played final fantasy, but it's still pretty cool
#6- splash is good, bot is bleh
-
1) dumb bot, dumber splash
2) what
3) i voted for this. fantastic bot here
4) generic robot, unappealing splash
5) it's won botm before
6) definitely the most effort made splash-wise, but the robot isn't good at all
-
whatching TRB get roasted is the funniest thing ever XD

How are they roasting me?

1: Just another stupid meme splash, I think 09 made this or its playzooki material.
2: Just a splash made in Microsoft paint, I prefer GIMP for making splashes.
3: looks good and with the spider, it looks really nice
4: Not enough meat!!
5: *plays FF7*
6: my vote of course cuz of the splash.
-
Well, we got 6 entries this time, which is good! Sure some of them are... terrible, but whatever.
Reviews!:
1. Hrm. I've never really been a fan of the "make a bad splash but acknowledge how bad it is and now it's funny" approach. I think ACAMS made this one.
2. At least he did a better cropping job than number 1? Getting a Starcore vibe here.
3. Now we're talkin'! Simple but effective splash, plus it somehow makes those giant razors look good. Really feeling TheRedBlur on this one.
4. This one cracks me up. I think it's because of the weird spacing with the name. Not voting for it though, as neither the splash nor the bot are particularly well done. Looks like something Thrackerzod would build.
5. Hey nice! I like how the front wedge is angled to balance out the wing. This is one of the two (the other being 3) that I think are gonna take all the votes. Seems like a DeadGenocide bot.
6. It's... different? Clearly some work was put into the spash; if the bot hadn't been made in 5 minutes, I might be tempted to vote for it. Gonna pin this one on Reier.
-
With the amount of effort put into the splash vs the clear lack of effort in building the bot, I'm wondering if 6 is supposed to be a sort of meta-joke about splash of the month.
-
My vote goes to 5, splash seems to have more effort put into it.
Not saying the others are bad, just my preference.
-
Voting for #6 because of creativity.
-
holy sh**, I wish #6 wasn't so terrible. that splash had me rollin.

It's better when you get the joke

#1: It's almost like early playzooki went to the future and submitted this
#2: smells like blurry maroon man
#3: hi click, I like your bot. Alternatively, hi domanating, I like your bot.
#4: Meat. Loaf?
#5: Hi Redace, possibly Maz? I've seen this before somewhere, it's still cool regardless.
#6: hi jenny cider, I like the splash but the bot is meh
I think I'm voting for 3.
-
voting #1 because it asked nicely
-
#5: Hi Redace, possibly Maz? I've seen this before somewhere, it's still cool regardless.
Tibbles made a robot almost exactly like this for the first post of his showcase.

Congratulations for winning this month's BOTM, Click!
-
#3 was my favorite and deserved to win, but since I knew it would win anyway, gave my vote to #6. 10/10 splash.

4/6, I'm fine with that.

thanks for the votes guys :smile:

TRB, NO. Just no. That will be all.
-
I didn't expect anything different, after I got so pissed off making a decent HW artbot, I just slapped a sh**ty motor on the top and made the splash. Let's hope next month will end up better -_-
-
The inside shot isn't customary, it's mandatory. You could say that all mandatory things become customary but saying customary insinuates it isn't mandatory.

At least I put it in there. If there was such an issue, trov wouldn't have put it up in the first place. Didnt think such an insignificant word would cause such a reaction.

can i justice fist mechadino and blur for cancer cringe entries ?

ok good idea
-

That's almost as disgusting as their bots...
And congrats Click, had an inkling #3 was yours, 4, 5 and 6 were all great too.

In all fairness, meat loaf looked generic and the splash was unflattering.
