The Industrial Revolution, a SHW with so many red ballasts it collectively kills sage and naryar and the alcohol which fuels his creativity which has become its own personality.

Here is another bot.

Genetically Altered Pinsir.

On the first one I think Industrial Revolution would be a name much better suited to a spinning weapon rather than a hammer. Bot looks quite cool though.
On the second bot I think it would look far better with 4wd instead of tracks, the tracks just look awkward sticking out like that IMO.

it needs a brown paintjob if it's going to be a pinsir

also it is underweight for an ironforge SHW. I feel that the threads are too small as well.

Threads? Im assuming you mean treads.

Mmm looks painful to touch.

The first one looks really nice. Kind of like Mortis. The other one I'm agreeing with Naryar that the tracks look a bit off. I'd either make it wider and put the tracks inside the chassis or swap for some wheels.

ja it needs bigger treads and a chassis wedge on the back

And I don't think you know how weight limit works in this game either. Ballast ups your weight limit by 50 for the first 4 ballasts and then each one after that counts toward your weight. HW limit is also 400 with no ballast when your bot has far surpassed that limit (yet it is still labeled as a HW).

3 bots for you all, 2 rebuilds and 1 remake.

The spinning weapon request was delivered with a face spinner made out of knifes. I was tempted to do double axes but i kept that idea on the backburner. I also made the tracks larger because it looks even cooler and prevents the bottom of the FS grinding the ground.

Pinsir returns actually in the right weightclass. The sickles are actually very effective and snip out exposed parts. The knifes do a very nice flipping effect if a bot gets on top of them aswell.

Well it had to happen, didnt it?
This time the beaters are replaced with more knifes, and i have used steel blades to clamp bots under the flipper and drag around and score points.

Naryar · « **Reply #9 on:** January 19, 2015, 09:55:11 AM »

that's it, now the treads are *too big*

also a FS with normaled weapons ? wut

i like that pinsir (apart from it not being brown, but that's just a detail), though i feel it would need more frontal armor

Jeez. All of these bots are just immense, makes mine look like a bunch of wimpy scrap metal o.O

Perhaps you should look at some of the showcases of our good builders.

Tibsy, get out. You are completely incorrect to every level. Even your microwave is better than these bots. You should have got here earlier, you could have won some newcomer GTM awards.

I thank the fact you are complimenting me, but i am terrible. There is a reason I never won a tournament.

Christ, shots fired. But correct.

I was trying to make a tracked 180 degree hammer. It turned out into this. But i do have a nice design for a hammer soon.

Tibsy · « **Reply #14 on:** February 13, 2015, 11:31:45 AM »

Looks quite malicious.

What would look good on it would be a badarse picture of the 12 Gods of Olympus on top and bottom of the bot :D

Pretty good. Just needs a better skin.

I am Spartacus! (If Avalanche allows me, I'll have a go ^^)

Tibsy · « **Reply #17 on:** February 14, 2015, 09:44:59 AM »

Right, so far this is temporary. It's certainly an improvement though. (I might add clouds to the sides of the bot, not too sure yet)
(sorry if this looks rushed, making foods and stuffs for the GF)
