Title: FOTEPX's IronForge Showcase

An experimental bot I made that I don't think falls into any bot category. Basically, it lifts itself above the competition using the 4 servo pistons, then shoots down with the two center pistons, directly onto the chassis of the opponent.

If this has been made before, then cool. If not, I think this bot type should be called "Dropper".

Does it work? I tried making those a long time ago but the servos weren't strong enough to lift the chassis

In Ironforge, yes. It also works for MW's and HW's by daisy-chaining servo's.

I kinda did a similar concept in stock, just not a poker but a bottom spinner. Still pretty cool concept.

You could do that, but in IronForge pokers are OP, so it's best to rely on pokers.

Can somebody make an IronForge Trinity spinner, plz?  :gunz:

A combination of Craaig and Lemonism's axebots. Is piss-poor at fighting, but most of my bots are for looks anyways.

I would say I like it but it's literally a clone mash-up of the 2. Get creative, yo.

While Tibsy is a hell of a builder, he doesnt yet have a scale of how good bots are. He said my bots were amazing. He said he was losing his touch.
Incorrect.
Follow craaig, our lord and saviour, and pray he doesnt set Mr Snappy on us.

I have low-confidence with my bots and I like to assume I have a scale of how good or bad bots can be.
And I'm just generally polite ^^

Yes, you are polite, but your scale goes from amazing to amazing.
And despite me knowing this is about as helpful to a person as saying to someone who has been shot "Stop bleeding you wuss" but
YOUR BOTS ARE SIMPLY AMAZING! STOP THINKING THEY ARE NOT!

Alrighty, then.

Name came from the face that it isn't the no man's land between MW's and HW's. I'll remake it later into a MW.

Yeah, there was inspiration from Tibsy's bot. However, I think I made enough differences to make it it's own thing.

Seriously though, that's one deadly bot. Shame they're different weight classes, Cheddar Shreddar & ASOPDC would be a perfect tag team lol!

Isn't it actually a SHW at this point with Ironforge weights?

SHW's are around 600kg.

Edit: Just read your second comment, feel like a right tool now.

Are you supposed to use Stock armours, or DSL Armours? If it's DSL Armour, I've been using the wrong values all along.

I think 123 added the DSL armour into Ironforge.... :s

He made his own balanced armour sets based off the DSL Armour setup.

They all have the same efficiency.  What armor you pick doesn't matter.  Just don't use DSA.

I tried re-making my Tiger Lily bot in IronForge. This was the result.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/71089Tyga.png)

Fun fact: This bot took 14 re-builds to perfect. Can beat all bots in the LW category, apart from Red Crab, oddly. I also learnt that Ironforge is like a miniature version of Stock, in terms of motors.

Thanks to Tibsy, 090901, and Mr. AS for teaching me how to skin properly!

There's a gap in the middle where it isn't protected, perhaps this is why all but one AI bot can defeat it?

The weapons spin fast enough to deflect any blows. You'd have to deweapon the bot first, which is what Red Crab does.

Yeah man, it's a Juggler - y'know, I've never seen you make a Juggler before. Give it a shot, ey?

Post by: martymidget on March 05, 2015, 03:08:59 AM
the trappers are a bit overkill imo, I feel you could either make them smaller, or just have one in the middle and get more weapons on. But then I don't really know the ironforge weights much so I could be very wrong :P

That and the angled connectors seem like a weak link in your weaponry.

This. Looks cool but I worry about those 2 factors. Nice work on learning to skin too :)

Yeah - didn't really think that one through. Thought all weapons in Ironforge had normals, until I remembered Razors don't. Well, back to the drawing board with me.  :gawe:
The angled connectors seem like a weak link in your weaponry.

'Twas the only way to get the normals of the battleaxes to attack the opponent robot when on top of the jugglers. Might be resolved by using razors, though.

don't razors actually HAVE normals in ironforge ?

Nope, they're the only weapon (Other than Beater Bars and hammers) to not have normals.

Anyway, fixed up Tyga - it can now beat every single bot in Ironforge, and is -very- destructive.

124.4, with wider wheels, a new weapon setup, and Aluminium 5. Coupled with it's previous incarnation, I have now re-made and re-mastered this bot 17 times.

Just as a side note, the Ironforge AI was generally created as semi-IRL so that newcomers weren't put off by crazy hard opposition. This is especially notable with my teams, hah.

Looks a lot better though, I gotta say.

I know, but until somebody makes a Starcore version of Ironforge, they're the hardest we've got.

Decided to give Tyga steroids. Not a good idea.

(BTW no fancy skins yet)

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/98767Thunder Liger.png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/25953Jaguar III.png)

Both of them have the same insides:


Jaguar can beat anything in the MW class. Thunder Liger would be the same if it didn't HAVOK SO MUCH
