I fixed the jaw ( a DSL 2.1 reinstall fixed it) and so you guys can go back to postin your replicas.

Sonny mentioned my old Wheely Big Cheese replica in a bot exchange thread, and it brought back old memories. I had to give it another shot. At the time of my original replica there were a few other WBC replicas floating around, but they were all normal flippers. The real WBC was not a normal flipper. It's flipper was basically the top cover of the bot, as seen also in the DSL Replica. With only stock parts, however, it is a little more challenging.

I came up with the idea of having the chassis itself lift into the air, forced upwards by 2 red extenders on DDTs. It looks a little more true to the original in my opinion. I could have skinned the chassis and the wheels better, but you get the idea.

some more replicas.
i know they have probably already been done but i wanted to show my tries at them.
first we have oblivion

it isnt the best but it can beat biohazard which i find hard because of its height.

now we have undertaker.

i think sonny resseti made a rep of this but i gave my shot.

last we have wedgehog

i know sonny made a rep of this because i watched his battle of the hedgehogs vid on youtube but i gave i a shot any way.
also for wedgehog i couldnt find a danger strip that would work like the real one so on the repl its a bit squint.

Not bad, Ashman. Not bad at all!

Have you entered Badnik96's "Replica Wars?"

Not bad for just starting out. If you want to challenge yourself, add some more detail to Oblivion's shell. And I've found that caution lines look better when hand-drawn, they're really pretty easy to do.

Any chance we can get a peek at your Supernova replica?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #606 on:** November 03, 2009, 01:34:18 PM »

its on page 54 of this thread. it will run in Replica wars with some minor changes.

ashman12 · « **Reply #607 on:** November 03, 2009, 01:38:30 PM »

ok ill give a sneak peek.
ill only show the outside as i dont want to give everything away.ill maybe make more updates in the future but for now im not because of the tourny.

i couldnt find my original version so i made a new 1
Edit : turns out i had showed it earlier but ive updated since then so you dont see the whole thing.

Edit 2 : by the way.

That's good! I'd love to let my Cassius II replica spar with it there...

how about 13 Black? that would be a nice challenge.

ashman12 · « **Reply #610 on:** November 03, 2009, 06:06:38 PM »

yea no problem.
ill not use the 13 black disks though cos that would be cheating.
ill try tomorow because im finishing off another 1 tonight.

ashman12 · « **Reply #611 on:** November 03, 2009, 06:38:56 PM »

Sorry for the DP but ive got a replica to show.
Its Name is Run Away.
and i think its my best skinned so far.

comments are welcome.

btw Badnik ill start 13 Black tomorow

Badnik96 · « **Reply #612 on:** November 03, 2009, 06:41:31 PM »

thats pretty good...
but it needs to be longer and it needs a car steering unit for the front drive.

ashman12 · « **Reply #613 on:** November 03, 2009, 06:43:19 PM »

i didnt know it had front wheels.
ill make an update.

Gah! Look at my dsl showcase.

I never really got what was so interesting about replicas...

Maybe you should make the bot outta flipper segments

JoeBlo · « **Reply #616 on:** November 03, 2009, 10:00:01 PM »

Run Away is going to be running away really slow with only single Mag drive and and battery overkill

Naryar · « **Reply #617 on:** November 04, 2009, 06:20:19 AM »

Run Away should really run away before it gets shredded by one of my lightweights.

Resetti's Replicas · « **Reply #618 on:** November 04, 2009, 01:03:43 PM »

I've always thought that a replica of Run Away should be more skeleton-y, with a small chassis, and most of its body made up of components. Now i'm tempted to try my hand at it, but I feel as though it would be poor form to build the same replica right after someone else does it. In the interest of diplomacy, ashman, would you be terribly offended if I attempted a Run Away replica and posted it here if I like it?

ashman12 · « **Reply #619 on:** November 04, 2009, 01:50:03 PM »

yea no probs.
i wouldnt be offended.
its up to you.
youll probably make a much better version of it than i could.

btw whoever said it earlier about the flipper segments i tried that for the weaponry but it done no damage at all. + it looked tecky with the flipper segments and hit the ground when moving foward.
