So apparently the hip new thing is to build in Ironforge. Which means I have to learn what all the good stuff is.



The last time I took a screenshot in this garage I think it was Voulez-Vous for Ironbot.

Not sure where I was going with this robot, I was just playing around with things and remembered an old robot I made. And my cop out excuse for the realism rule is the tribars could probably be timed to avoid each other.

If they're set up like that, probably not, but it's been accepted in the past so whatever.

Looks pretty good for a standard design.

Not a bad start for a standard, although I worry about its longevity in a fight with other heavyweights. Good use of flipper skirts though. You could use the dark skirt + scoop instead of the flames ones if you don't like the aesthetic of the flames, the dark ones are still pretty dang sturdy and it would free up a bit of weight for superior armour.

Yeah I might just reskin them navy blue or something in my copy of Ironforge.



This now obeys the realistic rule and seems to be a bit more effective.

Changed the weapons to some less bad razors.

That would totally work as the new Coal Miner in my pack[/plug]

Looks pretty good overall. The cutting teeth seem a bit strange though. How does it do inverted?

Also, welcome back. I know I'm extremely late for saying that.

It's not too bad inverted, still prefers being the right way up though.

And thanks!

Fixed it. Sorry 123 but the flames looked tacky to me.

I made matching skirts, because what's stronger than the iron lady?
