After watching a lot of Robot Wars Reborn and Battlebots Reborn, I decided that making replicas in stock was a true challenge to my skills in replica making.
(Custom components are too much of a hassle.)
So, without further ado, here's some house robots!

Shunt:


Matilda:


Obwalden Overlord:

I have these and a couple more in a little zip file if anyone is interested.

I bow to you, sir. You made something impossible, and it looks darn good.

If you guys think THAT was cool, just wait until I do Sir Killalot!

But for now, here's Sergeant Bash in his series 1-2 guise:


(I know he has no paintjob, but I didn't feel like it.)

The fun thing about making these stock replicas is that I don't have to go through the trouble of custom parts or components that have a greater range of customization. Although initially challenging, it makes choosing the right parts MUCH easier.

That and I can put them all up for download easily, if any of you are interested.  ;)

Say putting them up for download sounds like a great idea!

Thanks :)

I made a few more bots.

Lock-Jaw is fun to play around with but as there are no counterweights the jaws aren't as strong as I'd like them to be


RotatoR is kinda bland looking and underwhelmingly weak.
Chromefly is the MVP though. It originally had flat servos for the weapon but even for Chromefly they were to weak
