If he has something to add then there is nothing wrong with bumping.
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Because a year's time can completely change people's perspectives on the game.

(And remind a moderator just how long he's been dealing with sparkey  :ouch: )

I know this is rather odd, but what do you guys think is the most iconic robot of RA2? It could be any type of robot. Basically its the robot you think of when you think of RA2.
I know this is the starter post but when I think of RA2 I think of Razer,Nightmare,Backlash,and Ziggo because they are my fav bots.
Why did you bump a year old thread?

Original content always trumps fan-made for me, so I say EMERGENCY.

Emergency - Made us rage when we first played RA2 by flipping us off the edge and immobilizing us.

Bezerker - Revolutionized our designs for LW Spinners. (Ie. With tri-bars)

Mako - Most copied DSL 'Bot, 'Nuff said.

Clockwork Hydra, Tempus Fugit (And the Spin Doctors) RPB - And when we all thought Emergency was enough of a pain, Then we faced this group of 'bots and threw our computer on the floor.

Actually, strike what I said above, ALL the stock AI are equally iconic for me.  Why?  Because they actually look like robots that a person with a limited budget would build.

That's a good point, actually. I mean, for every Mortis, there's a 101.

The most iconic bot will be the one that will be able to beat all bot types and is a completely new bot type of it's own, that nobody would be able to replicate.

No, that would be the best bot. "Iconic" is not synonymous with "effective" or even "good." As far as I'm concerned, there is only one iconic bot in RA2, and that's EMERGENCY.

I checked out the site a few times before I knew about this place or had the game and saw it then so I guess thats why it seems iconic

I'm not sure if there's one single iconic bot in Robot Arena 2. So I'm going to come up with three options.

1) EMERGENCY: It's the one everybody seems to know, and almost every rookie's original nightmare.
2) Spinner from the west: The best failbot. Ever. It's become a meme. Who said iconic bots had to be good?
3) Hammer Of Justice: Not legal, but it certainly is the most excessive robot ever made.

I remember that one! I used to play around with it, and at the same time wonder why the blades didn't do anything   :approve:
