Pay Tribute With Replicas

Well, they are.
Anyway, from series 2;
King Buxton

Cmon dude, why not try setting yourself a challenge? I'm pretty sure anyone could make a box with spikes and wheels..

Well, it's a start.
How else would I be able to accomplish this:

I used to get excited when this thread had some new replies. Now its just crap.

Not a personal dig at Jaydee, but King Buxton is just a box. Nothing interesting. Have a go at the detail on top for the skin at least.

i think a lot of you miss the point with replicas - they require effort

i think a lot of you miss the point with replicas - they require effort

it is true that replicas require effort
the thing is some robots are very simple
king buxton is essiantially a box with spikes a skin would be good
i was interested that jaydee was doing stock replicas
stock isnt great for replicas so if the replicas look low quality its becuase stock replicas are not easy to do

that's why most replicas are done in DSL..
the entire point of replica building is to make a bot as similar as possible to its real life counterpart

Guys QUIT with the big text. It's unneeded. The spam that clutters this thread on a daily basis is insane.

EDIT: Tommy made an off-topic post after this about stopping stupid letter sizes, this was my reply. He deleted his post hence editing it in here:
Yes, please do. Let's get this thread back on track. As far as I'm aware it's for replicas and comments on the replicas themselves.
Other comments and requests can be made in other threads, over PM or over some form of IM.

FTQ = Failed to Qualify version
Because? ... it was overweight

[Philippa]

Please stop.

[helloface]

Just eww...

[Jaydee99]

Please stop.

Why? I upload replicas to a replica thread.
Unless your talking to dezox.

Ahh! Help! What is that thing? It doesn't matter! Maybe if I don't look at it...?

It isnt even a replica, you stuck a big ol extender thing on a circle chassis and called it sir chromalot. At least put effort into some part of the bot.

[Philippa]

Please stop.

I'm talking to all of you that keep posting in this thread. (With the exception of Resetti who actually challenges himself and puts the effort in, and maybe Tommy too, because he can do outlandish requests.)

A box with a skin that barely resembles the paintwork is not a replica, neither is another, slightly differently shaped box with one spike in it. A replica by definition is:
"...an exact copy or reproduction..."
This can hardly be attributed to some of the recent robots that have been posted.

The newest robot posted - Sir Chromalot - isn't really a Sir Chromalot replica. It's more of an "Inspired by Sir Chomalot" or a "Eau de Sir Chromalot" or "If you squint it looks like Sir Chromalot" robot.



Don't feel disheartened and by no means stop building your versions of these robots, but please, if you are going to post it in this thread as a replica, make it LOOK AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE REAL LIFE COUNTERPART before you post.

QFT.
At the very least attempt to skin your bot.. You can barely call it a replica if it's just a box with a few extenders.. At least make it look like you've put a little effort into it.

You certainly get by on just the stuff DSL has. Like a Macgyver of RA2. Impressive.

it looks nothing like it dude, it just looks like a horrible bot. stock is terrible for replica making, but you're not even putting in any effort anyway. learn to skin them and use better fitting parts
