GF93's DSL Scrapyard

[GoldenFox93]

LDAI? :D

It'll definitely be something to consider   

[MassimoV]

I like the skin. Kinda simplistic but that's what makes it cool.

[Naryar]

So how exactly it is better than it's predecessor ?

[GoldenFox93]

So how exactly it is better than it's predecessor ?

Well for starters, it can be entered into more competitions due to its lower weight   

[smashysmashy]

Exactly. Pyromancer was a SHW =P

[Badger]

I love it. But could you possibly crop the pictures?

Surely that flamethrower setup would explode IRL...

Assuming they're directly behind each other, you're right.

Goddamn it, GF. If it explodes it ain't realistic =P

I'll just quote what I said in the skype group

[6:25:57 AM | Edited 6:26:08 AM] Sparkey: its not even that they'd explode, really, they'd just be shooting the flames into the backs of each other, which would throw fire around inside of the bot and totally destroy the internals
[6:26:21 AM] Sparkey: like, the batteries

What if flamethrower is covered?

What the are you talking about?

Anyway, it could explode. Because the flames may light up the fuel line fueling the flamethrower in front of it. If that caught fire, chances are it would spread to the fuel tank and... boom.

Well, not really. Yes there are three in there, but they resemble one on the outside- that, and we're going by the wonderous RA2 physics here, so they each stack on top of each other rather than exploding. Point is, that makes it bloody powerful rather than at constant risk of exploding, so no need to think into it too deeply

I do like that kind of skin template you have. The wheels are contained in their own little pods, and everything else is built around it. It looks quite good, reminding me a little bit of the early Plunderbirds with the shape and tooth setup on the top. And I don't think the lack of a srimech is a real problem, it looks as though it might scuttle around on its back wheels or something.

I thought that anything that abuses RA2 physics wasn't IRL?

Glad you like it- the skin took a bit of doing, but I'm satisfied with how it turned out. It's surprisingly adaptable, actually- runs on its back just fine, and is really good at trapping opponents with its wedge and hooks

Well, technically it works if you look at it from the outside.

bots with stacked ants work too if you look at them from the outside

your point is ?

Ack, you've got me, there. But then again, just one Flamethrower on its own would've been too weak, so I had to improvise in order to keep the looks whilst also improving the power of its weaponry.
 
It kicks ass to use, though- I get a sadistic kick out of watching my opponents struggling to get away as they slowly fry.

[123savethewhales]

What bots do you drive it against..... exactly?

I would assume even the DSL replicas can kill that.......

Not so, my whale-loving chum. First I tested it against the Heavyweight Replicas, killing them all easily enough, and then I moved onto the DSL Heavyweights. Torched them fairly easily, too.
