It's cool how you made the BSGs blend with the chassis.  It looks BFE'd at a glance.  Any good in battle?

I thought it would look nice to blend them, so cool to hear I pulled that off :p

At the end of the day it's a hybrid for hybrids sake so I wouldn't say it's amazing but neither is it bad. I'm pretty happy how it turned out.

Eh, if it's cool, that's enough.

Same goes for this. Possible replacement BB9 entry as my Frenzy-hammer AGODs too much.
249kg, Plastic 3. It's got a pole spike on a storm burst. At least it's different to the usual wedge, Judge burst flipper or Whyachi clone.
And yes I spent WAY too long making the chassis perfect for the sheets at the front.

Hey, IRL is about the looks not the damage capability. Basically, sure it'll get taken out, but if it's a tryhard they're doing it wrong :P

I'm enjoying trying to make everything look very neat, as you might've been able to tell. I tried an IRL SHW, possibly for BB9. 1193.something kg

Probably going to remove the beaters for a cleaner look.

Loving the weapon supports and the teeth on top. Think you could do a slot for the weapons?

Tiny aesthetic downgrade but massive offensive upgrade - there are now 2 MOE Motors in there.
Seem as though the old one couldn't topple a HW let alone SHW I feel this is an okay thing to do.

I challenged myself to build something like Natster's Chew 2 without the long wedge in around 10-15 minutes.
Result? Not horrific.


I'll build something decent soon, don't worry.

Not horrific.
I disagree. With a decent skin and maybe a slight angle on the face that the saw passes through it'd look cool.

More concepts. Been trying to think of real weapon types that maybe don't get seen a lot in IRL tournaments.

LW Claw.


HW Shell.

Not massively fond of the shell, seems dull. Anybody think of any other real weapon systems I could try?
