Can we get some inside shots?

Based on the outside, you can do a lot to clean up this bot, the wheelguards for an example, bring them closer to the wheels and loose the carbon attachment stuff. You can also change both wheels to the same wheel, that'd look better. The weapon motors will need more protection. And maybe you can do something similar to death roll by changing the saws to discs which go threw the head, the front large typhoon teeth could be changed to Alu or Ti triangle plates to save some weight in which you can put into the weapon. looks great so far you've got a cool idea, now it's about cleaning it up.

So this was the innards of it before I made small alterations (I took off the carbon extenders and changed parts on the front weapon)


Here's after:

Inside:

Should I change the triangles on the front to be smaller for design? I think they guard the motors a bit, not sure what to do lol

instead of the front spike strips use extenders, its a large waste of weight which can be used for motor protection or better motors. I would mount TMWR's to the top part of the jaw instead of having spike strips. And maybe try changing the plates to 40x40?

it does look cool enough. though it is honestly a mess and you need to remove components that don't enhance the effectiveness and/or the aesthetics of the bot.

Don't use Ant piglets for drive, they are weapon motors. The motors that are placed at the front have even less protection.
