I love it.

Possibly only one thing I would was the skinning of the drub extender-thingy is a little out. I'm not sure if it's possible to change that - I have little knowledge of skinning things =P

Very nice! I like how you've incorporated the Lightning spikes on this one. Quite coincidential actually, but I've actually become friends with the guy who currently owns the real one   :approve:

It's very good, I reckon. Hard to get the chassis shine right, though, but it's still quite good in that respect. I think it looks very slightly too tall, though.

My recommendation for the nose is tO make a custom part that is an extremely thin small drum or something else that big around. Then it could be skinned correctly. Otherwise it's very good!
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

Looks quite good, I think. Would Robot X Casters work instead of Stock ones?

I swear you've done Botwork before? Or am I getting reps mixed up?
Very nice, though. I think Robot x casters should be used though.

Cunning use of the mega adapter, I see.

Thanks Nary.  He's right, you cant make the normal caster go upside down without a mega adapter.

The casters.

He might just have taken a pic of the bot turned upside down in the botlab, but it looks too natural to be upside down, cause most of the time the camera angles are weird when upside down.

yep, there's no way to make a bot appear upside down in the bot lab.

You could simply take a shot of it from underneath, and flip/rotate it in PDN or something similar to give the effect of it being upside down.

Doesn't look too bad. Wheel position's a little bit off, but apart from that it's pretty good, on the whole. Did it not have static spikes on during the Armed Forces Melee?

Absolutely no idea. I just went with that photo. And the wheels are a nightmare to line up with the skin...
