NOOOOO SM take your oftopicness back to your DSL Offtopic case :P





I'm just following the new trend and seeing what I can build that looks and functions realistically instead of how much carnage it can cause and yes the clamp and lifter work.

Wow.  Nice use of... let's see... the Hworf side armor, Thermidor claw motor, Thermidor extenders, TDD arm, TDD servo, and Hworf spike thing.  A whole bunch of parts I've never seen used outside of their intended replica, but they look awesome here.


Hmm... those Thermidor forks actually might be worth making stock parts for DSL3.  Possibly in varying lengths as well.

I have been living in DSL Cheatbot2 a lot lately and took a few GMF's for Backlash (so long as they are Darkrats as he said I could) there is actually some really cool stuff in there.. with a bit of tweaking to AP's and such can be quite useful...

I tried bringing Jaws Of Defeat into the MW class and this is the result.

It is fairly stable. I think I must have hit a sweet spot with the part of the skirt hindge that makes Narmour.

I don't get it TBH, what's the point of the two flippers underneath?

It works like Smashbox 2 does. The bottom flippers add more flipping power.

Darn it I thought it was just a ripoff of Smashbox not a clone of yours to.

Oh well back to making clamping sawbots.

Sometimes it can but most of the time it needs a wall. The disks are too small and spin too fast to get enough bite to kick it back up.

Looks awesome... one of the more realistic VS's out there.  I question its effectiveness against popups however.  It may need a wedge, like Gluttony.
