RIGHT! Time to make GTM great again, no more of this "wandering spinner" b****cks: let's get some proper robots showcased! First up, we always need more Gnaws in our lives...so here is the new Deadgnaws! It's done fairly decently in PWS, hope it does well in OW3 and anything else it is entered into!

Been a while since I've built anything since Deadgnaws II...until today! Here is Spiderbot (best name ever), a SHW drum spinner not built to the weight just to try an idea I had!

Both of those are some of the best looking bots I've seen

! mayby you could make the weapon of Deadgnwaws 2 more powerful, by adding large Typhoon teeth or two or 3 Discs and evem more teeth, but to do this, you would have to remove some armor or make a less powerful drive, but I'm pretty sure it's causing enough without those improvements, too. Can't wait to see how it does at Orc's Wars :Popcorn.

New DG looks fantastic, and from what I've seen of it so far remarkably effective considering it only has 2 small typhoons.

Spider it is a neat idea but it could use some polish I feel. The mandibles looks pretty flimsy and maybe a bit oversized too, and I think the transition from the wheelguards into the front wedge could be cleaner too.

Good to have you back building again though Orc!

Awesome and unique bots. I like them both Orc. But for the SHW, I feel the mandibles are flimsy looking

TheOrcCorp · « **Reply #164 on:** January 17, 2019, 08:11:58 AM »

Thanks everyone! It feels good to build again!

I would give Deadgnaws II bigger teeth but it would require a LOT of changes...but larger teeth for Deadgnaws III perhaps?

I get what some of you mean with the mandibles, I do have the weight to improve on them. The idea is that they trap a robot from moving so they can't get free straight away (probably wouldn't work but the idea is there right? XD)

Should hopefully have some more new bots and rebuilds here soon!

If you put the mandibles on servos, it might work, but i don't know if they are strong enough to hold a robot in place.

Everything you make is unique and cool. Like...everyone needs an Orc brain.

Two bots I've finished recently.
First up is Cobra II - less focused on looks using extenders, slightly more focused on working better...but probably won't. :')

The other robot is Waaaghboss - basically took my LW Grunt and made it bigger. Wanted to use the Battleaxe component for a while so I felt it suited.

Hope you guys like em.

I like WaaghBoss a ton. The higher res skins really make a difference, and just the overall shape of it is really nice.

Glad you're still building too

What is your resolution? 2,048x2,048?

Tried that, had issues self-righting: they are solid steel anyway so they will take some shots.

I am loving these bots, Cobra looks pretty CHUNKY and waaghboss looks clean as ****

TheOrcCorp · « **Reply #174 on:** May 18, 2019, 09:48:36 AM »

Three more bots to show off today, I've been a busy bee.
First up is Necky III - if it's not broken, don't fix it: something I should have probably thought about regarding the first model...so I went back to the basics, I'm happy with how it looks.

Next is a simple rear hinged flipper named Vivacious C (VVC for short). Based off a custom wrestler I made in the 2K games.

Finally, my first dustpan and it comes in the form of an old bot: Skorp is back and ticked off more than normal.

Hope you guys like them.

They are all awesome, you should but these beauties on the Bot Exchange more often.

Why? Too lazy to make your own bots?

No, I just want to play around with these beautiful machines.

I'm not normally a fan of your builds Orc but that dustpan is pretty tasty. Nice work.
