I really like the look of that thing. I wouldn't have used PA skirts, but I think they're only 5kg, so you can get away with that, I reckon. Very nice work.

Yays, I like DSL again :D

I don't think anyone's done anything quite like this before, I know there have been flail hammers, but here, the hammer doesn't flail, just the weapons
The idea was to use flails to up the frequency of the weapons (I think thats what they do :P), thus the name
I tested this also without the flails, and with 5 razors instead of 4 razors + flails, and the flail one scores over two times the points

Lol, you build Hammers better than I do, aswell. ;< Looks neat though, but does that rear skirt affect self-righting? I know on my Hammer Cantarella the stabilisers stopped it, but then I can't build, so.. :P

Self righting is a bit random TBH

That looks like a pretty good idea. What I would do is rotate the ones on the sides, and have them all pointing outwards, so they spread out when they hit the opponent.

@Fotepx: Flails allow weapons to keep moving, thus doing continuous/repetitive damage, acting as if they have frequency.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

Nope, it's exactly on the MW Weight Limit. You can have 399.0kg Heavyweights, but that's just due to the game rounding off.

Useless katanas. Get something better. Or even 2 heavy plows if you feel like it.

Also your extender work isn't exactly the best. Might want to change that disc for something else.

But more importantly, I have now been a member here for exactly 365 days! (Doesn't actually seem that long since I registered)
I'll save the speech for the 21st, but briefly, thanks to everyone here, for making this a great community to be part of (mostly), and for making this silly little RA2 forum so addictive :P

Are JX guards static? Also, 4 large>4 small
Better than GK since 2009.

4 small are plenty, 4 large are better, but 4 small are still plenty
4 small have worked OK for this so far, and its still more powerful than it needs to be :D

Oh, and the JX guards are on the flippers, and its those that make it more effective than most other flippers

Flippers don't need well guarded sides, it's flip out head on or dead.
