It's got the same wheels, and...that's about it. 'Cause I know that Gazea's extenders are blue.

And the razors. But don't rule out the people that are making teams for the AI (Vertigo, Preytor, Freez, etc)

True. But I don't think #2 is Gazea. Also, I can say that #11 is not my entry.

I have to agree. It doesn't look like Gazea's style.

This is the toughest choice I've made here.

Six of the 15 look really good to me (and as such, hopefully will all wind up in some form of StarCore 4), but I had to give my vote to #7, Dimension.

Others I liked:
#3, BWAHTAICU
#6, Driver 8
#9, Scarab
#10, Red Cross (bot's okay, splash is the second best here only to Scarab IMO)
#11, HalfTone

Well done you six for making my choice that tough.

I voted 3 because it could actually fight unlike 7 which can't do anything.

because it's the most original design.

I voted 3 because it could actually fight unlike 7 which can't do anything.

actually it probably could do something, especially if the design was worked on some more. Maybe we could add in criteria to peoples votes so we would need to rate a number of aspects of each BOTM entry.

There is quite a bit of variety for this month.

#3 - Highly intricate design that looks combat effective. It got my vote.
#7 - Although creative, it looks like it would be lacking in combat effectiveness. It would be too slow to deliver much damage and it wouldn't be able to hold on to anything.
#8 - A cool splash for what looks to be an effective bot.
#9 - Probably does well in battle but it doesn't really look all that impressive.
#10- Best splash IMO but the trinity glitch really isn't combat effective (especially when there are only 2 razors).
#11- Neat bot that probably would have done better if it had a better splash.
#14- Nice remake of a classic. My biggest beef seems to be with the splash. The fact that it is a GIF suggests movement but all we really get is a minor background change (which is cool but it seems like it could have used a little more).

A little something that bugs me:

In the 8th entries splash there is a picture of Child's Play being destroyed. In that picture is what appears to be a y-connector with two razors attached. The entrant's bot for sure does not have that weapon arrangement, and I don't think Child's Play does either. There seems to be a third, unseen bot involved. I could be wrong though.
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

You are correct. Someone has obviously destroyed Child's Play with another bot and then pretended their bot could do that.

Most likely - plus i don't see how a beetleweight HS with axes on a redbird could possibly defeat the BBEANS3 champion...
