Ironforge is pretty neat

nice robot "booby" ;p

can't say I know much about ironforge though, but I can imagine the weapons' short range may be an issue hitting things? I'd imagine it'dd be fast at least

Bobyasianboy · « **Reply #2 on:** June 09, 2015, 11:45:39 AM »

It's not too much of an issue, but the problem is that anything longer and it starts hitting the floor. Also it's not that fast compared to everything else in Ironforge, since literally every bot in Ironforge is fast as balls.

Definitely look into getting the drum/thing in a place where it'll be able to start hitting things effectively, you could make the chassis higher and have the back sorta wedged or something.

Yeah wtf? Booby? Bot looks decent though.

Naryar · « **Reply #5 on:** June 09, 2015, 03:48:10 PM »

As people have explained, it has no reach. Considering you have a srimech, you can just make a bigger drum and place it higher.

put them motors outside if needed.

Previous bot is still being tweaked, however I concocted this thing

Somehow a SHW

It does a thing with the stabby-stabby

Naryar · « **Reply #10 on:** June 15, 2015, 09:57:11 AM »

I got it that it was a rammer, yes. But why this weapon system ? You know them daos or jians or whatever this Chinese sword/polearm is called (i dont remembeeeerrrrr) have normals and only do damage with the blade's edge right ?

Would be intredasting if you'd make it into a trapper though. So you get your enemies stuck between both blades.

Bobyasianboy · « **Reply #11 on:** June 15, 2015, 10:01:01 AM »

I did not know that. Balls. I like your idea though, I'll get on that at some point.

Bobyasianboy · « **Reply #12 on:** July 26, 2015, 07:13:30 PM »

90% sure I'm Ironforging wrong

Reier · « **Reply #13 on:** July 26, 2015, 08:34:41 PM »

can't imagine it'd fight too well though :P

mw right? what drive?

It's actually a HW because spamming extenders and crap takes up a lot of weight. Using blackbird drive. And you're not wrong, it's terrible in combat.

cephalopod · « **Reply #15 on:** July 27, 2015, 04:07:13 AM »

Looks cool, but can't help thinking it'd look better with a smaller axe head and a scoop/plow/wedge on the front instead of the spikes.

Bobyasianboy · « **Reply #16 on:** July 27, 2015, 05:25:31 AM »

I feel as though the spikes kinda ruin it but I needed to get the weight up. Improvement?

Avalanche · « **Reply #17 on:** July 27, 2015, 07:17:15 AM »

Looks good, but too many spikes! Remove some and use Dark Extenders for a stronger wedge. Otherwise, looks good.

G.K. · « **Reply #18 on:** July 27, 2015, 08:01:17 AM »

A lot better. The only problem with the spikes, imo, is that they're too long. That's one thing I think IF lacks - a really short spike like the Lightning spike or Carrot. If you can find some way round that it'd look real nice.

D-do I get points for trying?
