OK, these are my first replicas in about 2-3 years and they're stock, and of quite easy robots, so don't expect miracles.

Angel Of Death. It has spike strips instead of saws because I couldn't get the stock saw to fit while pretruding as little as AOD's does. It also can barely move because the wheels barely touch the ground, but it was pretty slow in real life too, you could say that's a plus.

Araknia. My first proper attempt at skinning; the legs don't line up very well. It also has immobility syndrome, although not as much as Angel Of Death, and the weapon is horrible because it's powered by one of the tiny black motors.(I can't remember it's name)

- Tombstone

- Icewave

I wanted to try building a big spinner so I thought why not go for the big guns...
And although I'm not 100% happy with Icewave, Tombstone works a treat!

by pure apperiance they are top notch as your other bots. what's wront with Icewave? is it the weaponmotor?

I am aware that Icewave's bar is slightly forward towards to wedge than straight in the centre of the bot, but the bar doesn't look right. You got the bar colours right, but one end of the bar looks way shorter than the other end, not only knowing how the bot could become unbalanced very quickly to the lack of balance between both ends of the bar, but both ends of Icewave's bar are both at the same length.
Apart from that little mistake, both bots look pretty good so far.

Well thank you sir! I'm not sure if it's solely the weapon motor or a problem with the weight of these replicas but Icewave spends more time upside down than Chomp...

I think that was just the optical illusion, both sides of the bar are 130cm of Orange Extenders + 40cm of Black Extenders and a Beater Bar on the end. Maybe I have the motor too far forward. I have also noticed one little blue angled piece on the engine is slightly wonky...

Thyrus · « **Reply #6605 on:** June 21, 2017, 04:02:44 PM »

the wonky part could be caused by to much of the rule of 7 break that comes with CF try to attach that one to another component close to it and see if it stays straight on that one

Wow, awesome job on that Carbide! Also what a coincidence I've been working on Carbide's younger screw up brother Cobalt... They could be twins! I like how you managed to keep the back part tidy, I struggled with Cobalt's wedge a bit!

- Cobalt

Also, excuse the bot dump but I'm having way too much fun making these things so I made a bunch more...

- Splatter

- Disk O'Inferno

- Sabretooth Cat

- Disk O, Ghost Raptor, Splatter & Cobalt

That makes 12 of the Reboot bots... I hope you're all still liking my work so far! And if that changes please let me know <3

Arcane do you have in mind to release them in a pack ?

Thyrus · « **Reply #6613 on:** June 22, 2017, 10:17:29 AM »

Are you going to put them on the exchange?

I hadn't planned to, mainly just because they each weigh between 1800-2500 in game weight (all that extender work adds up) I've been using custom motors to power them which would be a nightmare to put together for download. There's also a slight problem in that battling these things often causes the game to crash. Maybe in the future I could put something together but for now I'm enjoying the building side of things, we'll see!

Nice Fluffy TGM! The bar looks like it could be a bit longer but other than that it's perfect!

Just a small update, I thought I'd have a crack at this duo.

- Witch Doctor & Shaman (Season 1 App)

As with all my other replicas the chassis is entirely extender work. I'm not all that skilled at component skinning as of yet, so I had to improvise and make Shaman's eyes out of cleverly colliding extender pieces... which was a pain to say the least!

Also getting a Single Tooth Drum to work properly in RA2... Never again!
