Hell yes. Red Pecker is a top-tier LW there, nice work.

Red Pecker is absolutely f'ing beautiful.

Did a minor mod on RedPecker to make a LW flipper. Way too underpowered for my liking, but looks pretty good.

not a fan of how exposed the burst is from the back, but looks pretty nice apart from that

Wanted to try something different this morning. Tried a LW extender based on 13 Black.

FaceBagman · « **Reply #47 on:** January 03, 2017, 06:30:39 PM »

Awww yeahhh I've been trying to make something like that for a while now, except with the discs & chassis at an additional angle left/right.

To keep with my current LW extenderbot obsession, here is a weird little flipper concept bot. Not enough battery and can't really do much, but wanted to explore using pickaxes as flipper arms.

plus an update of my ongoing LW extendor 13black-ish bot. Now w/ 1 more ant, "better" weaponry, and color.

Yellow bot looks pretty awful, but I still dig it.

Yeah...its bad. weapon concept works like a really weak popup, and the rest is just a yellow box w/ too long of axles. Weapon setup will probably be reworked into something like Warhead wings later on.

Why are all your bots so... small?

Just a current design tangent. Blame it on Badger and bittybots.

Here is a new work-in-progress MW concept/joke bot that puts on an entertaining fight. Meet Tortuga the race turtle.

My goal is to practice component skinning on the Hypno Disc and Iron Fist to make them look like a shell and a turtle head...hopefully.
Overall, lots of speed, "shell" is used to selfright, but the angle of the hypno disc (chosen for aesthetic reasons) makes it hard to get spinner contact on opponents. Will probably try other teeth setups. Oh yeah, and will rework the frame so its all one color.

Next is a teaser of my current entry into Light v Dark. Meet the Big Black Saw.

VS that can run inverted. Based on some weird mashup of Nightmare and Wrecks. I want to streamline the body section to look a bit more sleak, more angular. Whole thing was based on wanting to play with weapon supports.

TheRoboteer · « **Reply #54 on:** January 19, 2017, 03:11:26 PM »

That VS is bloody lovely.

I think the HS would look better with a flat disc, but that would defeat the whole turtle thing.

All in all, lookin' sharp.

Philippa · « **Reply #55 on:** January 19, 2017, 03:22:14 PM »

man that VS is sweeeeeet

jdg37 · « **Reply #56 on:** January 19, 2017, 03:48:51 PM »

First updates to Tortuga. Now with Growler wheels, 4x astro motors, wheel guards, and mini typhoon teeth just in case it can get contact with an opponent. Oh and super green color.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #57 on:** January 19, 2017, 04:43:47 PM »

i quite like that

maybe reskin the glove and disc for added turtleness?

jdg37 · « **Reply #58 on:** January 20, 2017, 03:50:05 PM »

Ok, so finanlly got the Hypno disc skinned...and its now wider and flatter.... How do I get it to keep the original shape? Or maybe even give it a steeper incline?

UPDATE: Nevermind. There were two Hypnodisc.gmf files. One is flat, the other curved.

Now to skin the head later. This turtle is prepared for Annihilation...Nation.

Damn. Now that it's skinned that thing looks amazing.
