So, the builds:
#1: This is the one that gets my pick here, its well crafted and looks quite badarse. Considering past builds, I'm inclined to say Kurt built it.
#2: Again, well crafted, but does lack visual flair in comparison to other builds here. Its still better than half the field, thats for certain. My bet is on RedAce for builder.
#3: Hi, Enigma. Its sh**.
#4: Hi, Apanx. Its also sh**.
#5: Hi, 09. Its shi-seriously, are we only doing BotM as some sort of ****ing meme?
#6: The splash is a mess, but compared to the other entries, it somehow holds up. This feels like a build from Dreamcast.

1 gets my pick, looks pretty cool so props to whoever built it!
2 is simple (poster wise) and the robot looks cool so props to you too!
6 isn't bad but it is quite messy...

The other three however are just garbage. No offense.

It wasn't me, but I'll take the credit anyway.

#2 and #6 can fight it out over who's got a better wedge, then the winner can then lose to #4, who can the lose to #5, and after all of that, #1 will win that fight because stock parts are garbage.

My Verdicts and possible guesses:
1. With good wedge skirts combine with a high gut-ripping weapon, could make this a real Ironforge contender in a tournament.
2. Now that's how you build a proper MW Poker from a old, below-average build! Though there may be a Supervolt somewhere in the bot, the pink battery isn't enough to power Two Z-Teks alone.
3. Look TGM or Wheelchairwaifu, I know you may of wanted to be a little creative in this month's BOTM, but this BOTM is for your competitive Stock and Ironforge Bots, not for artbots, that was around May 2017's BOTM! But then again if Thrackzod was back, he would of entered the artbot Mr Bones, that happens on most BOTMs when the rules state about Competitive Bots.
4. Yes, I can tell that Apanx made this one. Minus the fact that this is a good Stock Stilt Bot, there are ponies skinned all over the bot and repeated what he did for June 2017's BOTM.
5. Despite the good weapons, there are two un-ignoreable flaws: Underweight by 11.4 kg and the low battery life. But still, good theme behind the splash.
6. Pretty descent for a beginners Pop-up. But nothing really special. 

Well overall, some of these entries are pretty descent despite the old one or two bots, though I can defiantly say that most of the bots this month have much better splashes than the bots the last BOTM. But either #1 or #2 will get defiantly get my vote for the fact for being well built, having better combat effectiveness and having more of a unique flavor to them, despite other bots showing of their uniqueness.

#1: Pretty good overall.  The only one that's actually using Ironforge.  The splash is slightly basic, but it's fine.
#2: Good bot.  Looks like a possible rep for the Starcore v4 pack if that wasn't obvious enough.  The splash is partially humorous, but seems too much like a joke.  Still one of the better bots here overall.
#3: A joke entry that was done almost a year ago, but with a quarter of the effort was put in.  Pass.
#4: "L3315P33K 4MIRI13." Other than that, it's sloppy both in splash and bot quality.  Not one for a front cover.
#5: I swear I've seen a bot like this in that Stiltbot Rumble or whatever that tourney was about.  Got a hunch on who built it too, based on the name, skin, and build quality.
#6: A bot that feels like a splash and build I would probably have made about 3-4 years ago.  It's okay, but and I know it's trying to be pretty good, but it's just outclassed and could've been better.

Probably #1 or #2 would be my pick.

Edit: Fixed the font problem.  I hate posting on my phone sometimes.

#1- Looks honestly the cooler of all the entries. Seems quite combat effective too.
#2- I like this one. Not only it has the good old Rejected skin, plus it's a gutripping poker. You don't see a lot of those.
#3- It's not a giraffe 2/10 Meme bots in BOTM stopped being funny. Remember, you're voting for a bot to see for one month.
#4- A pony themed stiltbot ? It's literally cancer. (As the builder realized). I am thinking this may be a parody bot, but no. puke/10
#5- It's okay, I guess. Ty's face isn't particularly attractive.
#6- It's not a bad bot, it seems, but it's just... bland. A pysc popup (itself a generic design) with empty space and a not-particularly-exciting skin ? Not BOTM material, sorry.

I'll vote for #1. I like 2, too, but 1 just has a cooler splash.

And yes, I'm aware Splash of the Month is a problem, but to equal building and skin merits for both, 2's splash doesn't compare to 1.

Just what MNB said. But you'll need to wait for the next non-voting BOTM thread to open before you can build and make a splash for BOTM.

It was close this time, but ultimately Red Ace was the winner.
Fun fact: Red Ace was the only entry I received before the 31st.

1 = Red Ace
2 = Pwnator
3= Wheelchairboii
4 = Apanx
5 = 09090909090o1
6 = Dreamcast

Thanks to everyone who entered

I was one of them. But between 1 and 2. I had to go for 1 for not only being the only Ironforge bot out of the bunch, but also being very combat effective to the purpose of this month's BOTM. So anyway, Congratulations Redace on winning this month's BOTM.

I think that may be a sign here.  :really_makes_you_think:

Thanks guys, those who have entered and voted.  :)  Honestly, I was expecting #2 to be Geice for the splash and build quality.  Not so much Pwn.

also im calling that 1 is redace 100%
