The iron spikes on the top deal higher damage :P

I wonder if it's good to actually stop the bot with those iron spike, given that you can't keep popping.

Might as well be a wammer, I don't think the irons are going to generate enough torque to flip the razors up as hard as snappers would.

Well, anyways, thanks for the feedback, I may do something with that in the future, when I'm in the mood to start building popups(of any kind).

My internet has been dead for 3 days, and Ive been bored, especially as I had tuesday off from school. So I made a couple of bots, and I am showcasing the least fail out of them.

First is an arty type bot, called Hydra. Take note that I am horrible at any kind of art. Isn't too bad at combat though.


Next is a VS called Spin Cycle 2


Next is a bot I call Blatant Fuel Klone Drop Goal 2


Insides and armours for all bots available on request (:P) as I am too lazy at the moment.

ha ha, maybe, its better in every single way than the old one. But, in all honesty, its a Klone that wasn't meant to be a clone but turned into a clone anyways. May enter it for something else though. Just need to rustle up two good MW's from somewhere.

You don't need the spikes on top for hydra.

Wait it's an art bot...

You should have given Hydra a more dinosaur themed name. It looks vicious with all of those spikes :D
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

I dunno about the dinosaur themed name at the moment, but I will think about. Considering I have an extensive knowledge of dinosaurs that is still in my head from when I was 7. And yes, it really does need a tail.:P

Anyways, here is what I have for my BTTB 2 entry so far-just posting to know if I should scrap it and start again and how to improve on its f1 car-ness. If its okay I will work on skinning it :P If not, back to the drawing board.

Looks OK, maybe add the srimech on the side? (use a JX, that's what SM used)

Amazing what just a couple of Lightning spikes can do.  Imagine Hydra with a normal flat top... it looks just like a basic face spinner.  But with the spikes on top... it magically becomes a totally awesome artbot.  And it still looks effective too!


There's gotta be a way to make it invertible with such big wheels though.

I'm sure Hydra fairs better at battle then Snail did.

It doesnt actually need a srimech, the beta burst deals with that fine :D It can also flip things over/out if done right :P

If 4 pc625s and 2 ants are overpowered, I could up the armour on this one. (Al 1, eeeek).



Better or worse?
