huehuehue

is bot 1 a sns, it needs moar weapons if it is
it needs more weapons anyway
and maces are bad in dsl
i think motorcycle wheels > slims
ant blades have double-sided normals which means they only deal damage with the blades so they're useless on bot 1
if it's a sns, improve the drive motors to mags or maybe npcs

give bot 2 a shorter tail
If you make it invertible you don't need any sort of srimech.
are the flipper segments the srimech on bot 2? just ditch them or put them sticking out of the sides to make it look like warhead and you could reskin tornado teeth to make them metallic if you're feeling confident, otherwise switch them for more metallic weapons IMO
and i still vote for gradian being invertible
and its not really related to your bots but razors are kewl on flails on spinners (but dont overuse flails or naryar will cry)

Drum looks almost exactly like something in LDAI, but it's cool. I love Spearhead.

So that purple green eyed thing is your watermark ?

also make your pics bigger, I can't see clearly in the first bot other than it's a torque reaction hammer

Noted; remove the watermark, make the pics bigger.
Will do!



Camemberta won the third prize at BB9.
Also apparently she was real lucky.

I think it's a fish not a "purple green eyed thing".

You can keep your watermark if you want, i'm not blaming you for it.

Looks like someone else beat me to recreating Atilla the drum, then.

Here it is:

Drum Tu.

Not very effective, not very pretty but it's my first 360 hammer bot so I guess that's something. The skin lacks a black bar in the middle because my game crashes the very moment I try to apply a decal or import a texture. My next bot might have drums for wheels considering how well they worked for gradian.

Slimbodies are Crapola. Use TMW3R Drive instead.

Slims aren't bad for lightweights. And I like the new fish watermark, the other one was... meh.
Does the piglet swing the hammer?
Oh and you want to use wheels. Anything else will slide along the floor more and make it harder to drive.

Well, it doesn't actually swing the hammer.
It just slowly pushes it in a direction, causing maybe 50-120 greentext.
I'm actually kinda sad it didn't work.

You could use a 270 Degree DSL Axle Mount. Lighter than a Piglet, that's for sure.

He wanted it to work as an actual hammer, just mounted on a spin motor. Not a flail.

Not sure if it'll help but perhaps use a drive motor to swing the weapon instead of a spin motor?

A drum bot (not using wheels) will spin the axe better but move less well. It's a fun-to-drive trade off =P

I present to you; (warning: large image hosted at tinypic, will take some time to load)
Sad Union.
It's consistently beaten YU812 multiple times by humping its front untill its everything fell off. (looks very comical, enjoyed playing with this)
Taz wedges, hypno teeth, I sure love my red and whites.
The name's a lame pun on biohazard.

Thoughts? Improvements?
