Well I do feel Cruiserweights need more love. They can be fun in battle if you build them right. Perhaps if we build more of them or one could even host a fun tournament with them, they could be more popular. I mean SHWs weren't popular when first invented, but it got popular later on since CC2 was built with the SHW weight class. Who knows? But back on topic now...

I agree with RedAce there, would look better without flamethrower.
I never said that. I was just curious about why it was there, and Craaig answered my question.

Dizzy looks cool. I actually like the flames, and the wheel-eyes are great.

CW is probably the best for IRL-building since you can make decent-sized chassis with enough armor. Sometimes I have trouble using the weight on heavyweights for example.
This is pretty much my thoughts too.

nah, CW is honestly fine. It's something of a stopgap between HW and MW and it's OK. Not the *best* weightclass, but OK.

Like we need a stopgap between SHW and UHW. At 2500 kg, I would wager.

Reworked the extenders to get the bar closer to the ground and gave it a better skin.

Aha, it's not actually a face I came up with (see: Benson, Regular Show), but it's all drawn by me, didn't just copy and paste.

Was having real fun working on this IRL bot until I remembered axlebots need the axle through the middle of the wheels... Stupidest mistake but live and learn. Will probably rebuild some time. Who says Trov glitch is unrealistic? :P

Fixed the realism issue. Turns out the design can be pretty versatile.

I actually really like this, especially where it's got dual canines.

Aha! I was waiting for that :D Was determined to do one, however dumb it looked, just in honour of the S3 Stinger. Just as the mace was an Atilla the Drum tribute :)

Thank you so much for the feedback guys <3
