Kinda an extenderbot but with the backside as a chassis skin.  A small little twist of my style, in a way.  I'm debating having an alternate configuration with maybe re skinned drums, but the Dreadnought discs look cool maaan.

Treads are funky, but still cool I guess.

Modular design from a older bot I made a while back.  Mostly wanted to take the Spinner configurations and use re-skinned Mechavore and Minion Discs cause those are always fun to skin.  More fun than using more Typhoon Teeth than needed.

Looks great and clean. The reskinned discs are particularly cool. My only problem is the partially exposed motor on the overhead. May look better if you can conceal or mount it more with extenderwork

Improvements to HeartBreaker.  Technically in its third incarnation, but I don't recall anymore.  Haven't really tested it, but it should do better against spinners now it actually has some speed behind it this time.  Trading Magmotors for NPC Fasts seems much better already.  Also tempted to reskin the Storm Skirts slightly, but the purple-ish already helps give contrast, but maybe a hot pink might suit the name tag better.

Newer version of SnowStorm, and my word this so far has been one of the best versions of SnowStorm yet.  E-Tek Drive making this much faster and more agile, Dual Storm Bursts with just panels in the front to give more strength in the flippers as a whole, and more armor as a whole to last longer.  I can't wait to enter this thing in a HW tournament... if there is any that would allow this.

Pretty cool. Also Etek drives. Wow. That's actually a pretty good use of it. Hope it will be able to redeem itself in a future tourney after it's OW performances

not really seeing why people wouldn't allow this thing, and yeah, dual Storm bursts is a really good setup for front hinged flipper, Soundwave 2 uses that and it's really strong

suprising choice of drive considering how huge and bulky E-Tek Drive gearboxes are, but you sure seem to make it work, i wonder if you could BFE the wheels inwards so the axle doesn't poke out as much, but i guess the axle would start poking out the rim due to how Taz wheels are shaped.

how good does it handle spinners ? that shallow wedge and lower steel wedge seem like a HS's nightmare

Overhauled the Players that were entered in Robogames Series 1 cause multibots are still kinda fun.  Improvements include much faster drive and better wedge for the most part.  Untested in combat as I don't feel like Ai'ing these at the moment, but testing them in the garage proven they are much quicker and should be able to work better.  Hopefully they don't cause friendly fire either.  And yes, the name and theme is kinda copied from one of NFX's ARC bots, but I couldn't come up with a better name for these two, so it'll do.

Nothing too special.  Mostly wanted to improve from Sonar's Problems and just make a third iteration of the Radar series.  I think the speed is much better with NPC's instead Magmotors.

This is still one of my favorite robots I've seen. I just really like the whole theme and skin. sh**s cool meng

Kinda showed this off already, but I feel I should post it here just in case:

SPOILER_Juggernaut.png


Yes, this is most likely going to be the version of the Juggernaut for the special side event.  Kinda took some notes from Craaig/cephalopod's Havox made for GTMRW about three-ish years ago. (Wow already?  Damn I just feel old now.)  Mostly went with this idea of the Sir Killalot style bot since the saw blade represents the logo of Deathmatch, and really, if a House Robot didn't have something representing the logo, then that's kinda cheating.  The claw is the only thing I'm not too proud of.  It barely even lifts an opponent, let alone it's own weight.  I almost want to scrap the claw for a flamethrower/hammer, which is a version I have here:

Juggernaut_v2.png


On the other hand, I fear this might be slightly redundant for weapons, so I'm more or less trying to figure out which would be more fun in the end.

NICE! Makes me want to make my OWN house robot. (I probably should)

My Trio for Orc Wars 4.  All have been shown off before, but most if not all have gotten some tweaks to patch it up and improve them then when they were initially showcased.  Also, it's not shown on this image, but all now have my new team insignia on each bot so it represents the 'team' a little more than before.  Also, I actually managed to AI these to actually work as planned.  Still fear that SnowStorm might fire the flipper for no reason, but hopefully it makes use of the weapon nicely this year.  Seeing as I planned on having this being the guaranteed lock-in bot (I think that's how it works?  The rules kinda puzzled me).  V3NOM now can use the back wedge if the front disc goes off, and it is a durable wedge to boot.  HeartBreaker is the one I fear the most, but in AI testing, the axe actually can really go in berserker mode in front and behind (if anything goes behind it that is) so hopefully it can put up a nasty fight this year.  Good luck to all, and cheers to the Orc for hosting a phenomenal series thus far.  Hope it's the best one yet for everyone involved!

So this is pretty much my fleet for Mech Madness 3.  Took a bit to organize for mostly bots to get improvements, but I think I got enough to feel confident in what I've entered this time around.  A lot of bots have been improved from previous versions, so these are mostly bots that have been shown in the past.

Wanted to remake/reboot the Radar lineage of bots I made a while back and try to make it a little tougher in strength.  At the end of the day, it is a simple ring spinner, but with a special twist inside of it.  Literally.  As shown in this video:
