As if Click entered anything generic before.

I can't work out which way forward is on that bot. There's a small DS Tooth on the left, and either a Razor or Harpoon, one wheel, what looks like a CF Extender on the right...I think there's a hexplate on a piglet, but......strangely, I want to say it's a completel mess. I will only withdraw my statement when Click reveals the full bot and puts us out of our misery.

Nobody has got anything right yet.  ;)


Maybe I made the picture a little too difficult...


Also, I'm starting to think that CC4 won't be as full of flippers and VS's as I thought before, and maybe this bot won't be so good... but meh.  It's still my best bet.

After seeing Doomkiller's awesome clone of Darkling Larva, I figured it's about time I update the original.




This was intended to be my Mechapocalypse entry, but it ended up needing way over 20 components.  So it's not going in any tournaments (right now), but it's still a decent bot.  Much better than the original Darkling Larva at least.  Plus, it looks cooler. :gawe:

Regular NPC's, and the wedges are actually good considering that it's a VS (which usually have bad wedges).  It can intermittently get under most popups, and since the chassis is rather difficult to hit (yay Trov glitch), it can sometimes flank bots that get under it and make a comeback before it's KO'd.

That thing looks excellent. Does it get flanked at all?

Well any bot can get flanked... but:

it can sometimes flank bots that get under it and make a comeback before it's KO'd.

I suggest replacing the strait skirt with angle skirt.  Angled skirt wedge > normal skirt wedge is one fact that seem to hold throughout my observations.

Really?  I've had the opposite experience.  My straight skirt wedges always seem to outperform angled skirt wedges.  For one thing, they're better at exploiting holes in the opponent's wedge.


I suppose I'll give it a try though.
