I get it that walkers are made to be cool, but why HAMMER walkers ? You have no traction at all and cannot position yourself, which is very important for a hammer.

It's like making a rammer walker.

If I would build a walker (well, I've had one in my showcase but it didn't work) I would either go full artbot, or go HS.

For the current walking pattern of that bot, I don't think using wheels would make much of a difference. Also most wheels are very wide and for such short legs, the bot probably wouldn't even move.

A bit off topic here but I tried to build a 6 legged walker just now with Ironforge bursts and they havoked like crazy 100% of the time they were activated.
Looks like DSL is the only mod that allows good walkers.

To make good walkers we need slow, very strong burst motors. And stronger extenders as well.

So we should add that to DSL.

IRL or Standard?
If it's IRL you may want to add some axle support to the perm, I know the chassis cooould be seen as axle supporting but it would for sure look better with a flippermaker covering the axle or something :P
Also I'd totally downgrade the armour and upgrade the drive, I imagine that'll be pretty slow right now and some speedier drive would really work in it's favour considering what it is.
Looks nice otherwise, I love the eyes :P

So I updated The Parlour. NPC Norms are much better, weighs the exact same but the armour is really weak (P5) but I moved the Perms up closer to the front and the wedge is better so it does damage easier.

You cant see him there but theres a little spider in the hole, between the two blades.

So this is Echidna. Totally an Original Idea, where its whole point is to be hit.
Uses same walker system as My other walker, but this one is faster (i think) but slower to turn.
It is invertible, so that's good I guess.
Not my absolute favourite robot, but I've wanted to try the design ever since I saw pomf.
No idea what I have with animal robots though.
Anyways, enjoy.

I see the legs. But, they look like they're just uselessly floating around inside the chassis. Please, tell me how this walks xD

Heres the Vid of it walking.
Totally forgot about AI'ing it, oh well. I'm glad i build one though.

Works quite well, and Echidna looks cool.
I'd be worried about axes and stuff but not a lot you can do there if you want the invertibility.

Yeah, you need to make this thing an armored spike ball. It's way too exposed for how heavy it is. I do really like it though.

I have returned with this... thing.

So this is probably my Lightweight for BBX.
Shame he never played for the Bulls as it would make more sense if he did. Oh well.
Really generic design but shoves really well

2 is minimum, 3 is a good choice, 4 if you really don't want your battery to weaken. 6 is overkill.

Is it invertible ?

So I made a middleweight for BBX

Vegemite Sandwhich. 
Titanium 3, Axes slow to retract. 397.2kg Npc Norms.
Is that custom plow okay for BBX? I haven't changed any of the competitive stats, just the skin and name.

Fixed Shaq and yeah, it's invertible but only because of the gmf. (is that allowed or does the wheel have to break through the chassis for IRL?)

As long as the plow is a separate component to the original plow (doesn't overwrite the original) I imagine MassimoV would allow it.

middleweight is underpowered and i believe you can use BSG's for that.
