RedAce's Ironforge Showcase

[RedAce]

Wow it has been a while.  Time for Bot dump 2: Ironforge Imagealoo



I don't think I've showcased this one yet, surprisingly.  Anyway, this was my Ironforge bot for Trios of Terror II.  Unlike Barrackpore where it focused purely on defense, Bhut Jolokia is straight up offense.  It worked in its favor shockingly enough.  I'd say it was the best of the trio.  Dishing out pain to even the wedgy bots before getting screwed over by luck.



These are my Dynamic Duos Entries.  I was half-tempted to reskining Bhut Jolokia and build a lightweight similar to the theme, but I wanted something original for the MW.  The MW is kinda bad, but it's kinda powerful.  The LW is pretty deadly and can wreck stuff up if you're not careful.



Here is my entrant for Waifu/Deathmatch 2... if the tournament was MW.  I realized that it was HW once I saw Conraaa's and Thrack's potential entrants, so I thought that maybe I could make a new skin for it and make it a multibot.  I scrapped that thought almost immediately when I was testing this thing.  It's ass.   Like so much ass that two would just not work.  Full Body Hammers are cool, but they don't really work in Ironforge.  Might reconsider, but I already have a good thought of what would be my replacement, and it's this thing below:



Yep, this thing is tall.  The wedges aren't spectacular from a box-rush, but taking things slow is where the wedges do pretty well.  I'm just gonna bet that the entire setup below will snap from a tryhard popup.  I just know that will happen.

The more waifu bots I see, the more worried I get about my entry. I might need to give mine a hat.

Bhut Jolokia looks very nice.

[R01]

What kind of waifu/husbando is that?
If it makes it any better, I'll most likely not enter a popup but some kind of spinner instead.

Bhut Jolokia looks very nice.

Keep entering it anyways.

good ol groose mcloose

[Badnik96]

hey **** you groose is a great husbando

[Conraaa]

Groose is best husbando.

[RedAce]

hey **** you groose is a great husbando

I hope you're not referring to me.

But yeah, it's Groose.  The best of husbandos.  The full name of the bot is "Loose Grose with a Noose" to be more exact.  Might make it way longer for the actual tournament.

[RedAce]

Holy hell.  Over a year.  Damn.  At the moment, I don't have much, and since I'm too lazy to show my International Wars entrants at the moment, I might as well get this thing in the showcase so it doesn't fade into the mists of obscurity.

[Reier]

solid. not a whole lot to improve. i never was convinced to have VS weapons staggered like that though, I feel like they are usually better aligned

[RedAce]

Holy hell.  Over a year.  Damn.

Welp, might as well make this my "Honorary Annual Plus One Post" in this place.  Here's some things I've made in Ironforge within that past year as well.



February 2018 BOTM entrant.  Made to be combat efficient, probably not made to be safe for work.  Here's a tip kids: Don't use dated memes or themes for a BOTM splash, even out of irony.  You might just lose to DSC again.

 

MW version of No Values.  I really wanted to enter this into Centurai, but I didn't have enough time to enter nor compete.  I'm hoping to make something for the eventual C3ntrurai or whatever it's gonna be called.

 

GTMCS 2 IF entrant.  Yes, I deliberately named it after that meme.  No, I don't regret anything.  The bot itself was pretty good and seems just to be my kind of style of bot nowadays.  Is that a good or bad thing?

 

 

This was an experimental bot with a challenge given by Old Man IF Reier when the axle mount thing was a trend.  It can't win really anything since it goes horribly unstable and flips on its back.  Ah well, it was meant to be an experimental bot anyway.

 

Made a HW efficient thing cause I felt a little more annoyed that the MW couldn't do anything so just whipped it up afterwards.

Most of these are pretty much old bots, and if you couldn't tell I really don't know much about IF a of now.  Might make something when I get a on actual chance.

[09090901]

I would try to get your weapons more forward or just make the designs shorter on the two vs, phil swift especially. a lot of bots (especially wedgeless bots) might not even reach the weapon with how far back they are

also sledges are pretty poor for spinners in IF, they're too easily de-weaponed, have low dp, and also unstable af when one falls off. i would suggest just going the 2.1 route of spamming light weapons, and also consider dropping to a 4mag for more weapons since you're fairly under weaponed for a hw imo

[RedAce]

Uhhhhhhh...

 

I actually have no idea how it does but I don't think think it might do well and there's a problem that involves why I made this: It's a Ninja rebuild  I'm tempted to rebuild this since... well yeah.  At this point I'm just showcasing it since it looks so damn goofy.

Since Ironforge 1.2 is now up, I think it's time to do some updates for ReForged.  And here's the first two I got started on:

Updated Deadbeat to have flamethrowers, removed the unnecessary bits on the hammers, made stronger protection, and using the new rubber wheels.  Not sure if the removal of N-12s helped it or not.

Razor now has blades instead of razors for the popup weapon, and redid the wammer with knives, and seems to perform better, but still not quite tested since I downloaded.

Edit: Should mention that nothing here is the final version, as these will be tested, and updated accordingly.  With that said, given razor and update with razor weapons and a wider chassis.  Will showcase eventually.

[Philippa]

I approve of Deadbeat.
