I disagree with putting popups in the same category as FS and jugglers. Popups are much more easymode than a FS. There's really no comparison other than they both need to get under their opponent to win. Also, clamps being hard to win with does NOT make them manlier than hammers.
im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.

THE MANLIEST BOT TYPE IS THAT F*CKING GIRAFFE
IT HAS TO HOLD ITSELF UP THROUGH SHEER FORCE OF WILL AND RAW STRENGTH

12-SnS: Well, the SnS is very focused on speed and damage and has nearly no armor, right ? That would make a manly bot, but the tactic ruins it all. You stay in a corner, all defensive, relying on your speed to avoid the opponent going too close, and don't charge. The tactic is very unmanly and ruins pretty much the man potential of a SnS.

Question: What about SnSs that have MeltyBrain technology (and before you ask, I believe that's a thing in RA2, at least in Ironforge).

meltybrain is a bit manlier than normal SnS, i suppose.

Manlines should come from the player skill not the bot itself.

meltybrain is less manly because it removes the other robot's ability to move

I still don't understand why FGs exist when TRFBDs do as well. Basically the exact same concept but TRFBDs get to be lamer and less manly. fite me SM

FGs do make more sense as LWs though.

Drums are pretty manly in DSL Standard I think.
