Sylandro's DSL Methlab

[Sylandro]

Trying to get back into the groove.

Anything i should improve here?

[Naryar]

show insides, please.

show insides, please.

Boom.

[Naryar]

so why does it have 2 random spikes at the sides ?

[Sylandro]

Weight and sh**. Gonna update it.

[Naryar]

put them so they actually are useful, like you can make a rammer/HS hybrid (sort of) and as a bonus they point forward.

Depends. Is it meant to be IRL or Standard? If it's IRL, then it's pretty sweet looking already. If it's Standard, then do what Naryar says.

no, it has nothing to do with IRL or Standard.

It's meant to be IRL.

It's meant to be IRL.

Then it's fine. No need to move the spikes.

No. They serve no purpose.

People don't put spikes on their bot IRL just because it's cool. They put them so they serve as wedges/stoppers/ramming weapons/protection.

Hence why sylandro should do that.

I half agree with you here. People do put spikes on their robots for decoration, obvious example being Kronic, but in RA2 we don't have special spikes just for decor that don't do damage or weigh very little or whatever, so we have to make do with using proper weapon spikes for decoration.
On the other hand the spikes really don't add that much to the look of the robot here imo, so I would still move them to the front to stop them being useless, or give the robot a better skin + overall theme that would better justify the spikes.

wew lad this is dead

anyway i have a right to do some forum necromancy and resurrect this, because this is my thread


if you've been chilling out on the GTM discord, here's redshift, a lw that i cooked up in my methlab earlier today





al3, 246.8 kg, it's all in the pics

gets cucked by hammers but then again, al3

[Naryar]

floating axles... 

[WeN]

Not quite IRL but

Need axle support for that top floating axle.

[Sylandro]

changed some things on redshift, it's now 245.0 kg but it's one nasty mother****er

[Naryar]

STILL has a floating axle. please look into other IRL showcases to see how people do spinner supports.

[Badnik96]

honestly it's pretty bland

[Jammy Dodger]

This robot looks pretty dope (no pun intended :P) 

[Sylandro]

gonna put redshift on the backburner, as i have been cooking up something nasty
