Looking pretty solid. If you opened the component skins up in something like Paint.NET, and just sapped a little of the colour out of them, I reckon you'd be onto a winner there. And the game only has the edges/decals and such in 256x256, so it won't apply to any skins of a higher resolution. So you need to to all your editing in whatever image editing program you have. If you're still lumbered with MS Paint, I would highly recommend Paint.NET. It's basically like MS Paint, but with a whole heap of extra features, such as Layers (you will wonder how you survived without them), blurring, advanced area selections, and a lot more. Plus, it's free. =D

still has the same problems the firestorm rep has.......,.,.,..,,.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

What are they? Even still, it's a work-in-progress, so I'll have time to sort them out.basically what nfx said about the weaponry/moving parts unaltered and looking out of place (the fs rep has the same issue) and not fitting in with the rest of the bot but other than that
I'm not sure about anyone else, but GF93 inspired me to re-do some of the replicas. Here is a new T-Minus:(Image removed from quote.)Before editing this, it not only had RAD drive and cheaty darkcell batteries, but was actually a (very underweight) middleweight, NOT a lightweight. Here are the insides (with top armor and flipper removed) :(Image removed from quote.)Has new, better NPC drive motors. This made it EXTREMELY hard to get the wheels on, but I managed to do it eventually. I decided to keep the judge burst there, seeing it's as powerful as it is without havoking. Used the normal T-Minus arm, because it has the same stats as the hidden one, it just weighs two more kilograms. Also has better chassis armor, 3mm titanium.Now, I know what you're thinking: "How did you get it nearly to the weight limit?". Answer: .txt file editing. The weight for nearly all of T-Minus's custom parts were non-existent, and as default weighed 1Kg. Needless to say, I changed the weight on the objects that needed it, but I also improved the hitpoints on a couple of things: the top armor (3000 to 5500) because it's...well, armor, and also on the wheel guards because they cannot do their duty with a pitiful 400 hitpoints (changed to 3500).Next to come from me is a new Ziggo that will hopefully be able to control itself.
On a side note, I decided to try tackling the skinning job myself- it's my first time doing it properly, and I'd say it went alright. And with that-(Image removed from quote.)My DSL Panic Attack? Done. Do let me know what you think of it

Thank you As for the new Panic Attack, I like it, but the skirts are bugging me. Not sure why, though...
But you've done a very good job with the reskinning, does it have a lifter motor in it like Firestorm, so the forks go up slower?
I am loving the tweaks, dude!
Yes, I've tried that, but the black parts came out a bit too pale. If the cloud does have a silver lining though, it's that I removed that annoying upside-down Welsh flag. Nothing against it of course, but it didn't look right on the skirts. Likewise, I do have an ED texture for the skirts though (and I can provide it if anyone wants it), and if anyone wants to have a go at applying it to them, then they're welcome to try.Glad you all like it so far, though.

What you could do (you need to download Paint.NET for this), is reduce the Saturation a touch, maybe to about 80-90% or so, then up the contrast to get the blacks back if they look a bit off.
