take off the top claw parts, and make the bottom ones angled with some angle extenders, and it will look p sweet

Not bad, but it looks like several TIE advanced fighters stuck together.

Well, hey! Someone at least likes BattleBots, and makes Replicas.
Also, for a joke, i'm gonna make Vaporbot Replicas.

You can't really replicate bots that don't exist

Yeah, for a while there I was starting to think that I was the only Battlebots fan on this forum.

Took bloody ages to get the textures right and was made last night in 2 hours - because I'm sad and pathetic, I am very proud of this creation: X-Terminator.

Nice! I would use a pair of small wedges on the front though, and possibly a typhoon flag for the antenna.

Quite a few people (or a lot) know of Roaming Robots and/or Robots Live, so here's a little something for you: Merlin.

That looks really nice, is the small wedge actually attached to the flipper ? If not you could use a steel sheet on a skirt hinge at the bottom of the chassis to make it look better.

Yes, the middle one.

Rob, when you do a skin, consider rezising image to 400% the image before you begin. You can import it onto your bot without shrinking it back to 256x256. The only downside is you can't then edit it in the RA2 paint shop but I think it's more than worth the tradeoff. Also, consider hand drawing in lieu of copying skins - I think it looks better

Here's Typhoon, a robot that failed to qualify for Series 4. It had one of those impossible shapes, so I just flattened out the top. The shape was a real bugger to make, you can see that the checkerboard pattern demands a near-perfect 4:1 ratio on the side.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #4193 on:** September 03, 2012, 12:01:17 PM »

Didn't you already make Typhoon, Resetti?

Oh well, this one's cooler than the older one anyway.

Merlin is cool too. As is X-Terminator.

I did, but this is a complete rebuild with a more polished & accurate skin

Tsunami & Robochicken

I'll paint Robochicken again if you guys are not happy with it.

smashysmashy · « **Reply #4196 on:** September 06, 2012, 04:00:34 PM »

Robochicken <3

Robochicken is well done. Tsunami isn't brilliant, but that's pretty much impossible to get any better with Stock RA2.

Somehow I think the opposite. :P

I like the Tsunami more than Robochicken, because I couldn't get proper eyes for it... Also it doesn't even have a flipper on the back ._.

Jamin · « **Reply #4198 on:** September 06, 2012, 04:06:39 PM »

For Robochicken's eyes, I would try axles and mini wheels

Resetti's Replicas · « **Reply #4199 on:** September 06, 2012, 04:07:59 PM »

Pretty good, considering how restrictive stock is. Did you try putting a Y extender on the burst to get the axe/flipper combo? Also, that particular version had a head but no beak.
