Garry's Wars

[Thyrus]

I told you you should call it Pam Anderson

[Badnik96]

are you blind it's obviously a clone of Biohazard

Grey bot in the top left- Razer with a flamethrower?

I figured it's time to show off some of the robots I've built on the server. This is a "Greatest Hits" of sorts, there's a bunch of failed prototypes and crappy old robots that I won't be showing off. :V

A front-hinged flipper which has been likened to Tsunami and Barbaric Response. This version of Brimstone hasn't fought in a tournament yet (and its first appearance was horrendous). Hopefully it will hold up.

Eggbeater robot. Its main claim to fame is its good looks, as its weapon does very little damage.

Horizontal crusher mainly inspired by Ounce's. Crawdad isn't that potent, and its arms get stuck occasionally. Badly in need of a rebuild.

A Nightmare-esque vertical bar spinner. DarkSlinger has shown potency in test matches, and its first tournament appearance will be tomorrow. Its main flaw? It can't self-right...

Arguably my most successful robot, Early Grave is another vertical spinner, this one in the vein of Electric Boogaloo. Early Grave is the only one of my robots to have won a tournament, and the top vertical spinner in all of Garry's Wars.

Full Metal Racket is the oldest of the robots I still use, its current form dating back to December of last year. It's a fairly generic Tombstone-esque spinner, and it has had similar success.

Knightshade is one of my less successful machines, another vertical spinner that has struggled to break out. This new 6WD version hasn't been tested in combat yet, but I have high hopes for it.

My take on a M.O.E.-esque design. Neutralizer has thoroughly impressed me, showing that a controlled horizontal spinner can take on a large number of designs handily. The two times I've entered Neutralizer in a tournament, it's finished in the top four. A sturdy design that can handle most things thrown at it, the only issue is its exposed wheels.

Another rather disappointing robot, Resolute was designed after the fliming of Gmod BattleBots in order to take on Ounce's robot Thunderwave. While it was sturdy, its weak weapon left a lot to be desired, so I redesigned it in this incarnation to have a powerful front-hinged flipper. It still has issues controlling fights, so it will likely be rebuilt again.

Probably my most solid rammer. Haphazard is rather old, but hasn't had a chance to prove its success yet. Hopefully, a chance comes soon for it to do that.

My other rammer bot. This one has a more positive win record than Haphazard, but I'm not a huge fan of its design in comparison. It's still a solid robot that I enjoy driving.

My newest and scariest build yet. Industrial Revolution is basically my take on the deadly horizontal spinner Thunderwave, and has proven thus far that if you don't have a plan for it, it will carve your robot to pieces. It can also belch smoke out of the two pipes, a feature which I hope helps it stand out from the crowd.

A low wedge-shaped front hinged flipper with immense OOTA capability and a very sturdy build. So far, this robot has yet to be knocked out in combat. Vantage has yet to take part in an official tournament, but I'm excited to see what it can do.

A Diesector-esque robot which is basically a carbon copy of RoboBowler's Diesector replica (minus the hammers :V). WhipCoil is a replica of my ARC robot of the same name, and features the trademark grabbing jaws. The hope is that this robot is able to become a hard counter to the 6WD wedge-flippers currently overpopulating the sport.

Originally an overhead bar spinner in the vein of Tornado Mer, Steel Syko recently evolved to become the first fully-functional ring spinner in Garry's Mod. It hits hard and is incredibly stable for a spinner of any kind.

Is Steel Syko actually "the first fully fuctioning ring spinner"? Seems like a pseudo ring spinner, to me.

Look who we got for commentary!

You actually made it sound like you got an actual commentator.  Still a good episode regardless.

It's nothing official. I just got this from Robo and took the initiative. Heat A in it's entirety, with Robo as the commentator, will come out very soon.

14 months later...

Yep. Garry's Wars 3 is coming out when Mouldy from a parallel universe releases series 1.

A former RA2 bot of mine makes its debut on the Garry's Mod "platform" (with a flipper this time!)

[Badger]

Looks cool

Yep. Garry's Wars 3 is coming out when Mouldy from a parallel universe releases series 1.

We need the full shebang, Mouldy. Where're the HW's?

Eventually, lad. I'll do another one today so it'll be up by tomorrow morning.

Some recent developments:

8th Jan: First tournament with the heightened player limit.


6th March: KOS comes back and makes a proper robot with me for 4+ hours.


Something that hasn't happened for about 2-3 years.

[kix]

I would create a bot for it buut... What GM are you using?

theres like one Garrys Mod

[kix]

I think that there is one from 2004 and one from 2014

[Jammy Dodger]

get the newist one

Since Badnik did that too, i might as well, here is a bunch of the bots i made on the server, none of these have got a single victory so far cause either the design or the driver sucks (and in quite a few instances, both):

Overhead spinner with a little twist, the motor box also has a srimech panel, however the bot currently is way too frail and ends up destroyed very quickly vs other spinners

A Horizontal spinner i had to nerf because apparently it was too powerful despite being fairly unstable and with no srimech, ended up rebuilt as a Tombstone like spinner, works decently, but the wheels seem to break off fairly often, a revision will probably be in order.

Replica of an ARC bot, works pretty well and apparently is suprisingly wedgy, has some turning issues i've barely managed to fix.

Flipper originally made for a Live tournament (also known as the only tournament where i didn't get salty despite being completely nuked), here in it's second version because the original had a fair number of design problems, has yet to take place in a tournament, but maybe this could be the one that will finally bring me a victory.

Me trying to focus on looks led to this thing, which in hindsight, is pretty terrible, it also is too fragile to be ever used in a competition, maybe i'll make a "serious" version of it at some point.

One of my first bots on the server, as it's name says, it's a stupid wedge, with a top flipper panel and a retractable backstop so i can eventually keep an enemy for monster-trucking over me

Hammer bot named after the song i was listening to while building it, it's major flaw is it's slow self-righting and low damage output, altought the latter is kinda expected from a hammer.

This is pretty much Gabriel with a plow on the front, except the axe isn't torque-reaction driven, the main problem is the huge wheels that are pretty much screaming "RIP ME OFF", and yet a lot of people seem to like it.

Don't ask why i made this cause i'm not even sure myself, kind of a jokebot, even tho the spinner has some bite.

Gravedigger ripoff, the back scoop is meant to deal with spinners, but since the wheels are very far back, it's pretty hard to control the bot when using it.

The evolution of my very first gmod battlebot and the bot of mine with the most versions.... and yet it's still completely sh**, maybe one day i'll manage to make a good VS.

[Witherana]

So now there are no trusters anymore but now we use e2 thingy's..... so we are now better.. but robots are harder to make sometimes
