huh.

well one thing does sadden me is the fact that a lot of excellent builders just gave up on RA2 when it was moved here.

C2, jim, technex, all those. gone, probably forever.

but why did it pack up in the first place. there was no need for it. and the fact that those fools are taking the source code to their graves, then no more patches or new games either.

No one on GTM has ever had the source code, and no one on GTM ever will.

T9: Most of those people were gone long before the original forum was down. In fact, most of them were gone long before I joined, except I believe Technex who was probably around for just a bit afterwards. Pys was on GTM for a while, he just left because the noobs here suck.

Pyscolone was around for a while tbh, but he hated the idiocy, which tbh has never subsided.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

I think this topic should be stickied! anywho.... old school AW's!







Oddly enough tyrANT looks like my Mini - Billy Goat Gruff from that angle, anyone know exactly what it was? from memory it was built by viper....maybe I wasn't the one to come up with the axle weapon idea for AW's.
