This is Magnolia, an overhead built off F1Krazy's chassis for the chassis swap thing. Coincidentally, it's my first build in the new crash pack. Came out pretty well for an overhead, all things considered, though the white chassis made a different style of splash necessary. Drive is slow as sh**, the weapon is only a 4-mag bc the chassis was just too small for a 6-mag, but the great chassis armor should help make up for the lack of power. At least I'd hope.

in HS's you generally want more weight invested into the weapon motor rather than more chassis armor because "your weapon is your armor", aka it punts the opponent away. though sometimes a heavily armored HS is nice.

Tried to get a 6-mag in, but it was just a little too big to fit there. Getting a dual perm in a 20 cm chassis would be lol as well

Bot dump incoming

 
2020-07-10 (2).png

First up is Starfall, my take on a nightmare clone, with a metal-inspired name. It came out a bit too narrow to work all that great, but the weapon is damn good when it actually gets into play. Plus, it's a different style of build for me, and I personally think it looks really cool. Maybe I'll try to widen the front in the future to get it working like the real Nightmare.

 
2020-07-25.png

Firebrand, the resut of me cloning ICEwave in my infinite originality, but I gave it a flamethrower out the front wedge because that wouldn't cause the thing to blow up if it took damage no sir. Weapon is underpowered just like any overhead using a motor short of a ****ing 6-mag, but it looks cool as heck and can dish out some good hits.

 
2020-07-24.png

Finally, Dead Man's Hand, my take on Aces & Eights had Battlebots 6.0 happened for Orc's 2004 Robot Combat tourney. The biggest change is obviously the tiny as **** drum that was all the rage to add to a featureless wedge back in the early 2000s. Overall I'm really happy with how it came out, especially with the black plates the real Aces & Eights had.

Another bot dump because I have a lot of unfinished bots
 
2020-08-07.png

First up, the classic 4WD vert of Battlebots' original run, Village Idiot. Based it on the real plans for Village Idiot before Season 6.0 got cancelled, featuring dual flywheels, a bit more of a frame going on in this version. It has no hinged wedge, though, so don't expect any stunning performances. After all, it is an idiot.

 
2020-08-06 (2).png

Oh god oh **** oh n-

For Pokken Tournament (build for it please), I created Hoppip. It was only natural that it'd be an overhead spinner, with its propeller leaves and all. The most interesting things to mention are the face, which I'm extremely proud of because it actually uses colors from Hoppip's official art, and the dual-perm I shoved int it to power the spinner. Yep. Hoppip ain't ****ing around.

 
2020-08-07 (1).png

Finally, an original bot, Pressure Point. This was originally going to be an Apocalypse clone, but due to RA2's sh**ty burst limits and negative feedback, I ditched the side hammers and went full axe. In testing, it's surprisingly fun to drive and extremely stable. Got the skin finished today, and I'm really happy with how that came out as well.

Ohhh sh** Orc's Wars is back and I'm in it!
 
OW5 Lineup.png


Moving counter-clockwise from the top left, we have:
Phantom 5 (seed)- Back for one last ride, the only change I've made is a slight update of the teeth to make the drum look like it gets more bite. Despite it being my seed, I have the least faith in Phantom to really live up to expectations.
Foo Fighter (lock-in)- I showcased his in the Botober thread, but never on here. In short, it's a Crossfire clone with the supports mounted on an axle to allow it to get to its wheels more easily. In testing, it's actually been a lot more powerful tan I'd expected, so I'm hoping it gets a couple wins in the tourney.
Twisted Fate 2 (qualifiers)- This is a pretty old build, but I've been waiting a long time to finally give this version of Twisted Fate a tournament debut (I know it entered MM3 but I'm not sure if that tourney's ever happening now). I have high hopes for it, so it'll probably fail spectacularly to get out of qualifiers. That seems typical.
Machina Non Grata (reserve)- Another pretty old build, and probably unable to score KO's, but I've got a bit of a soft spot for this bot and it was easy enough for me to AI. Made some cosmetic improvements to the sides with ll the weight the crash patch gave me to work with, so it'll at least look cool as it gets torn to shreds.

"Your demise beckons..."

 
2021-06-26 (1).png


For GTM Civil War, I was brainwashed into becoming a horrible, evil villain. Disgusting. Thankfully, I'd been meaning to make another LoL bot based on Xerath, so after a couple failed attempts, I came up with this. 6-mag for the weapon is a bit underpowered, but it's worked decently in testing. End of the day, I probably won't have the best-performing bot on my team, but it absolutely shouldn't be the worst-looking.

Oh, also I made an even more evil bot just in case someone dips

Bot dump time

 
2023-01-05 (2).png


This is Black Lotus, an HS I built to get back into the swing of things with RA2... well, 4 months ago. Recently went back in, gave it a blade that isn't anemic, cleaned up the rear, and gave it a CW and HW version. Not expecting it to do well in tournaments, but it's hard for me to make a tombclone I don't find either pathetic or oversized so I'll take this as a W.

 
2023-01-18.png


Next up is Parapet, which I built as a reserve for Matthews' Major in the event that I couldn't find something better. I'm personally very happy with the crossbow on the top, but it of course would prolly never win a fight. Happy with the classis RW vibe for this though.

 
2023-01-19 (8).png


Finally, Dan challenged me to recreate an old CAD of an ARC bot I was given, so I relearned OBJ chassis importing and put this together. Finishing Move has arguably too much drive, very powerful weapon, but a very poor wedge and little armor. But damn is it cool.

Black Lotus may be a Tombclone but I love the bar, Parapet is such a unique build (Motte&Bailey would love it I think) and Finishing Move is really well done! You've made a good comeback and you've come a long way since you first started!

Been on a bit of a building kick lately, finished Halberd 2 for future tournament use. Shortened the axe for better contact, swapped to 6 wheel drive to have a lower profile, and swapped to a panel wedge. The end result is hopefully a better fighter, with a slightly more interesting shape.

So 3.5 years ago I made an awesome-looking crusher that never saw competition bc I couldn't fit the right amount of batteries to make it last 3 minutes. Today, I rebuilt it it from the ground up. Here's Dragon Khan Dynasty
