Title: Artyom's [Insert Witty Title Here] Ironforge Showcase
Post by: ArtyomTDO on January 24, 2015, 05:33:28 PM: Hey guys, haven't dropped by here for a while (Well, that's a lie, I've lurked.). Anyway, here's my first ever Ironforge bot. The splash is kinda terrible, as it's pretty late, I'm pretty tired. The bot is more geared towards aesthetics than use. As in, I haven't tested it in battle, but I'd like to see if people like what I've made, and whether to expand on that style, or head in different directions. Any and all criticism is welcome!

Just as a point, it is loosely based on the real robot Twister, as per the random blade on the back.

Looks alright to me but I highly doubt the potency of the Razor at the rear.

Kurt: Alright mate, no need for grammatical justice (jks) but I'll change that. I'll also remove the razor and motor, but I'm curious what would be an effective replacement, other than armour? (Though if that's nothing in place, I'll happily armour up. Speaking of which, I may have forgotten to put armour on. Is DSA still worthless in Ironforge?)

Thanks for the feedback so far. I may make a milestone/checklist type thing, wherein I mark down all the pieces of criticism and advice, and see if I have rectified what I needed to. It'd be mostly for me, but I (Very rarely) like to show off.

I've completely resigned the flipper's look, and given it a more powerful motor, as the original was struggling a bit, it couldn't lift another bot. The problem with using the beta was that it often kept flipping itself back, so I struggled with the rear bar. The flipper is also more effective, as the previous used the flipper segments to attempt to get under, while this one uses skirt plate thingies.

So, as for the checklist:
Replaced the useless rear spike ☑
Changed the title of the showcase as not to cancel itself out ☑
