#1: At first glance, I thought it was a stock bot with the mud tires and caster.  Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's overweight.  So if it is, how is it allowed?
#2: Very well constructed and the blueprint motif is a nice touch.  The pictures hidden in the yellow side is the only thing that bothers me, but it's more so a nitpick than anything.  Click maybe?
#3: I love how the components are reskinned with how it's built.  Very well done.
#4: Honestly, I thought the font or the "Why, because I can" was in the font Papyrus.  Yeah okay.  The bot is still pretty good.  Splash is mediocre to be honest.
#5: Something is telling me that Thrackerzod built this from how the skin and construction on the bot is done.  Not entirely sure though.
#6: I love the originality, but the construction isn't the best to me, and the splash really could've been better.

Normally, I like to vote for one before I forget, but here, I can't decide on who to vote for.  Might need more time to think a little more for this one.

#1: Too simple for the taste of my mouth.

#2: Very well designed splash and bot, plus my pick

#3: I'm guessing that maz made it.

#4: Take some reason for me why I love models.

#5: Looking at the bot right now, it seems trackerzod material to me.

#6: A lot more for the bot and splash could have been done.

Guess I'll have a go at giving my opinions on each entry.

#1: The robot seems a little lackluster, in my opinion. As does the splash. Not terrible, just lackluster.
#2: This one looks very effective in combat! The image of the insides is a little hard to see, however that's essentially just a nitpick. Splash is very appealing too.
#3: This one looks brilliant! It looks like something that could've actually been made IRL! The splash, while simple, fits the robot very well.
#4: I'm trying my best to not be biased towards this one for... vehicular reasons... Anyway: the bot looks great, as does the title made for it; loving the 'SEGA' font. The splash is a bit "meh" though.
#5: This one looks quite cool, too! I love the editing done in the splash with the robot fighting it's opponents in multiple areas of the same arena, something that couldn't be possible in-game, what with only 4 bots in the arena in a match.
#6: This one certainly looks unique. Splash looks kinda good, although it has a little too much text for my liking. The title for the robot looks cool, though.

My vote goes to #3, it's just so beautifully constructed! I'm kind of a sucker for IRL bots too...  :dumb)

Between #2 and #3 for me, both are very cool.
I think I'll have to flip a coin to decide between them...

Is #4 Thracker?

I quite like 2 and 3 but my vote will go to #3 because, although I really do appreciate the splash work for #2, I think I'd rather see #3 every time I logged on to GTM.

It's 288.1 according to the splash and all the others are heavier than it, if anything it's underweight, unless you meant the ironforge weight standards but this is DSL(MW is 200-400 from what I remember, maybe 250?)
#4: I'm trying my best to not be biased towards this one for... vehicular reasons... Anyway: the bot looks great, as does the title made for it; loving the 'SEGA' font. The splash is a bit "meh" though.
You probably already know this, but this isn't exactly the Sega font, many different companies have been using it back in the day, but now it's only sega.


With that said, I do like 3's IRL look the most, now if it only had side protection(also I guess the chassis is only the very tiny black metal part in the middle?

I actually did not know that. Interesting...
Vote for 3# I can't wait to see 3# win!
Certainly looking like #3 is everyone's favorite so far, isn't it?

#1 No.

#2 Cool
splash but not my favorite out of all of them

#3 I'm voting for this or 6

#4 This isn't GT!

#5 What about its diarrhea?

#6 I like this bot mainly because It's a Replica of the Dutch RW Vortex Inducer and the splash is cool. But VI was a HW not MW

So either 3 or 6
i'm only a finalist in BBEAMS 7 which was a meme tournament and I just stole a NAR AI bot and made it dense as ****.
and Not Bushido was a thing that happened, I beat the #1 seed despite being #bad seed.

Wowie!  We didn't get a terrible memebot this month!

Alright, here's some thoughts:

1. ehhh
2. Cool bot and a well-made splash.  A solid contender.
3. Very clean bot and splash.  IRL-style usually doesn't do much for me, but this one's very nice.
4. Nice model, and well put-together splash.  The bottom left picture reminds me of my Mr. Bones splash.
5. Text is kinda messy, but maybe that's the idea?  The multiple-fights-edited-together is pretty cool.
6. Why is all the text crossed out?  I do like "The AI probably can't use it" - that seems like something I'd put on one of my own splashes.

#1- boring bot, boring splash
#2- I like the splash. Gives me a portal vibe.
#3- Interesting bot, but the splash let's it down, personally
#4- Sega references, kek.
#5- eh. Doesn't interest me. Sorry.
#6- ooh, the purples mix together really well, and the bot seems interesting to fight with.

I'm going with either #2, #4, or #6

Edit: Forgot my guesses at people

#1- WenXiang
#2- Click?
#3- DG?
#4- Thrackerzod
#5- BobyAsian?
#6- Naryar?

#1 Honestly, I've seen entries with less effort put into it than this one. Still has no place in botm.

#2 It has a neat looking splash. However, SOMEONE put the sledgehammers the wrong side and now i can't unsee it. It's not badly built, but it's nothing exceptional designwise and a bit splash of the month-y.

#3 I guess ? This ain't an IRL botm, though. We should have IRL-only BOTM's instead of mixing building styles.

#4 Another average entry. Not especially bad artbot, but not especially exciting either.

#5 Yet another average entry. It's the only DSL-S bot. It's semi-original in having angled VS and using axes, but the skin clashes with the axes's color. But yet... it's not especially attractive.

Also who the hell uses 45kg on MW wedges ?

#6 Not a very good splash or presentation, however, it's a VS, on a vertically moving servo, on a horizontally moving servo. So why the hell not.

So yeah. Gonna vote for 6 because it's the most interesting design.

Also so many average entries. Wish I entered, but I keep forgetting and procrastinating D:
