Thought I'd jump on the Ironforge band wagon, and make a popup because why not.
Anyway, say hi to Jawz:

Aluminium 10, pops up well, not a VS though so not that fun
-
all those tiny batteries... really don't have more space available ?
also it's intredasting to see a blunt popup

gonna guess it's to get the needed amps to run two bursts
-
just so you know, those teeth only do damage on the dark side

lol noted and fixed.
Also, stylish true popup Mimetic Zero:

cool bot. a couple things that might improve it:
those center wedges are likely never going to be used, I would use the weight from those to beef up the front armor panel a bit. the front spikes also look cool but I can almost guarantee they get in the way to a degree. I'd probably try to make the front armor a lot wider too, narrow popups always have a hard time especially when they're on the slower end like this one. if you could find a way to jam on dualbirds I would at least try to do that. speed is really nice on a popup and you don't even need heavy wheels with dualbirds.
other than that, its a solid build and looks nice.

Hey dude, cheers. Some parts, such as the pole spikes, are just for rule of cool tbh. Made a version with wider armour, will try dualbirds on a later popup or a complete rebuild later.
In the meantime, a SHW based off an old DSL build:

Razors aren't as good at deweaponing as they are in DSL since they have halved HP.

I know but they're light though, thats the issue here.

I love the smell of SHW drumbot in the morning:

Steel 3, pretty danking strong and stable.

looks sick. Do the motors last long against popups?
-
it's nice, i would probably remove a couple of teeth and get dualbirds on though
-
Can you make it invertible somehow?

Cheers, might reduce some of the rear armour for that though, even just to make it fit.

They do fine since they're a distance off the front of the chassis (where the control board is) and there's light armour underneath as well. The wheels seem to be the weak point at the moment anyway.

It is invertible due to the heater skirt set-up, perfectly stable when inverted too which is nice, its just that the back is sloped down for armour/neatness/looks.

400kg SnS, Black Star:

Oh yeah, and a SHW version (599kg), Dark Hole:

How fast does it spin? The small wheelbase looks a bit problematic to me, but I'm not expert on SnS. The compactness could come back to bit it if it goes vs a trapping hammer.
Looks pretty deadly to pretty much anything else tho
-
i think you probably can get away with light panels and get an extra couple of knives on the HW
itll also be lighter to just use 4 anchors to attach the motors to the chassis instead of a disk...also i doubt you have enough batteries

Too right they don't have enough batteries, both 10 amps underpowered! They were both based off a different bot which i should have showcased instead, which is the reason for the flaws, but ah well.

SHW Trov chassis VS with invertible Mako-wedge, I call it Bipolar Butterfly (because it looks ridiculous):
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/31411screenshot_24.png)
(Right way up)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/81296screenshot_26.png)
Blackbird drive, two dual magmotors for weaponry, Aluminium 3, 4 ballasts in the front. Wedge works surprisingly well, only problem is if it gets stuck on its front it can turn into a bit more of a bipolar fish...
-
Looks super awesome. Is there a way you can AI it to make the drum spin the opposite way when inverted?
Oh, and would it be possible to rotate the blades by 90 degrees? They don't have normals on the flat side, you might get more damage out of it.

Sure there is. However, it won't work due to the weapon setup.

Cheers man, with that set-up it was impossible to have the blades vertical, so this is a version with 60cm blades instead set-up slightly differently, more efficient tbh (with titanium 10 armour now) just looks less impressive and is slightly less punty haha:
