I've finally built up (what's left of) some confidence to showcase my bots I will proceed to create.
Note: The bots shown are either meant to look good or just there for fun, I'm not really a serious Ironforger lol...
(any creations that look similar to other author's are purely coincidental, I don't steal other bots)
Anyway, here's my first bot, Raven:

I know I'm a bit late to say this, but welcome aboard! That bot looks hella cool.
-
Its like Dead Metal and Razer had a baby.

Cheers! My first ever "proper" bot xD
-

Haha! Never quite looked at it that way, well spotted.
In the near future I'm planning on giving it a functioning tail, at this moment its fine, its acting as a wheelie bar because of the sheer weight of the neck & beak.
-
Demonstration video coming soon!!
-
Not bad
That's great

Cheers! And yours are great to! ^^

That's a really nice bot, I love the hex plate eyes especially.

Haha, funnily enough my gf suggested the eyes xD I never really thought to add them
-
The bot would still look cool without them, but I think they just add a little extra charm (good choice, Tibsy's gf :P).
-
Haha, anyway, developing-the-skin-time! (Yay! Ughh... ¬.¬ )
-
If you hadn't seen it I did respond to your post in jaydee's showcase, and I'm happy to give it a skin if you want. I have plenty of free time tomorrow to make one.

Oh? Sure dude, cheers.

The hex plate eyes give me a Woff Dog vibe but that's the only thing, the rest is some crazy Razer/Sonic the Hedgehog hybrid :L

Lemonism AND Craaig? I'm so honored! (Well I'm honored to have replies from anyone! LOL)
Dude, Woff Dog is the main bot that gave me the hardest bouts, the speed is just... Impeccable.
-
I thought Sandslash honestly. Pretty kewl.

Final Update for Raven before I go plan another bot to create in Ironforge (possibly another bird themed one, we'll see, I'm not THAT good at building :s ))
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/29269RavenFinal.png)
This also means I have to add to the Demo video which I will post here tomorrow!
Cheers for the positive feedback! ^^
***EDIT***
Screw tomorrow, here's the video anyway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5thJcpHx9g&feature=youtu.be (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5thJcpHx9g&feature=youtu.be)

Fun fact: You can embed videos in the forum by deleting the s in https.
Raven looks fantastic, btw :)

Next time you may wish to consider adding to the last post using the edit button, double posting in a relatively short period of time is against the rules right now (but I think it can slide just this once :P)
And yes, as Badnik says, delete the s and it embeds :)
-
it looks very, very nice especially for a newbie
-
I've decided to go much heavier than Raven. Sadly the quality isn't as good in this one as I focused more on the weapon than its looks.
I give you: The Porcupine (or Platapus)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/34487PORCUPINEorPLATAPUS.png)
Just your typical popup bot really.... Yeah, not appealing as Raven is it? *sigh*
Ahh well, its done now ^^
-
Ha that's great.
-
Ha that's great.
Yeah, its a mixture of a few things: Platapus (long scoop 'nose'), Porcupine ('Spines') and Grasshopper because the darn thing hops when I fire the weapon xD
-
Your bots look great, and they're effective,
I have one question though.
What is Ironforge and how/where can I get it?

-
Right, one more bot before I head to bed.
I was originally going for a bot based on a cat but I've already had two animal-based bots already so... I improvised.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/97339compaQt.png)
My first (showcased) flipper.
-
Looks pretty good.
-
Good bot, man.
-
Amazing
-
hnnng
-
hnnng
You okay? o.O
-
Amazing
Do you still want Raven for your tournament? Or would you like compaQt?
-
Looks pretty good.
Thanks! Though your bots always look a million dollars dude!
-
Amazing
Do you still want Raven for your tournament? Or would you like compaQt?
Raven as it's like Razer. However, I've tried COMPAQT and it's f***ING AWESOME!!! Nice work!
-

Haha! Really glad you like it.
-
Finally, I've produced a decent lightweight, yes it's another flipper.
I like to think of this as a lightweight version of COMPAQT... In terms of how powerful the flipper is xD
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/24285ASTERIX.png)
Yes... I drew the eyes myself. Well, I don't own a Bamboo pad for nothing.

a multipopup :O
you don't see one of these often, I remember one in SCv3 and it was overly deadly
-
Again I must emphasize the importance of editing your first post rather than double, or in your case triple, posting - you can always open the 'quote' window in a new tab and copy-paste the quote into another, as double/triple/etc-posting is actually against the rules.

Well, I'll put it in the bot exchange and you can test it out. I've shoved it into my Robot Designs folder to make room for the more appealing bots xD

I like it quite a bit.

I've removed my message to Craaig after receiving my warning.
Apologies for my actions and animosity towards a moderator, it may seem dumb but i'm getting to grips with this forum and how it works and such. Apologies again.
-
Nah it wasn't that, I was purely following procedure having let you know the ropes when it comes to multiple posting
Don't take it personally, and don't let it stop you posting awesome bots ;D
-

Alright, thank you. It was just my low-confidence that got the better of me, to be honest I never really expected to be noticed.
I hate to disappoint and after miraculously pleasing the thread viewers with my bots, the last thing I'd want is to 'go down in a ball of flame' you know?
So, if I want to post a new bot for my showcase, what would you suggest that I can do to avoid double/triple/quadruple posting?
-
Copy out your old post from modifying it, then delete it and make a new one and copy the old one in, then add the new bot into the post. Never double post.
The only person who has any sort of reason is toast, because apparently his browser glitches when he modifies his post.
Plus he is a veteran, so he is instantly awesome enough to be allowed.
And i died a thousand deaths from heart attacks when i saw that bot.
-
And i died a thousand deaths from heart attacks when i saw that bot.
Which bot? o.O
-
Each and everyone. Except asterix. Im not keen on the 3 wedged flipper.
-
(Apologies if i'm breaking any rules, ;_;)
My newest bot or is it an update?
Anyway, seeing as Raven was a 'flightless bird' I decided to give it wings.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/6639NewestRaven.png)
I'm sorry to anyone who thinks I've ruined it. But the wing-less bot bugged me a little.
On a side-note, here's a side project I made (not a serious bot btw):
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/62204PIIING.png)
-
Dead metal without a sawblade :cool:
-
Suitably insane, I think.
-
Dat microwave.
-
Just build what you like and as long as it doesn't intentionally and outright suck, you won't have to worry about us. All the robots and home appliances I've seen so far are badass.
-
Wings are too messy for me. Microwave? hnnnnnng
-
Damn, you build cool artbots. Continue like this : we like what you are doing.
No, you are not breaking any rules. Also against multiple posting you have an edit button.
Note that if you double post in here and both posts have enough time separating them (generally more than one day), no one's gonna complain. However, if you have to post something, post it in one single post.
-
hnnnnnng
Constipated?
-
i need this in my life
please teach me your ways IRL builder
-
hnnng
You okay? o.O
If people write that it means it's a compliment :mrgreen:
Great building, man! You remind me of myself when I first joined this forum. I specialize in art bots and original contraptions and you do both as well.
I miss building stuff like that, simpler complex bots, if that makes any sense, lol.
Keep it up, Tibsy :smile:
-
After a brief moment with DSL (and I mean VERY brief), I'm back on familiar ground (Ironforge).
Anyway, I decided to do another 'arty' sort of bot, so don't expect any destructibility in this one, which I've appropriately named "Iron Muncher".
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/74402IronMuncher.png)
P.S: The microwave bot is officially named "PIIING!!!"
-
oh wow
that reminds me of that omnomnom bot i once built in DSL
-
New Middleweight with a completely different theme :3
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/47935BEDBUG.png)
This has been sat in my bot garage for ages. Also I think I might be loosing my 'touch' ;_;
-
You are not losing your touch, your bots look as excellent as ever.]
Add a axe to it perhaps?
-
Looks cool and organic in a sense (you know what I mean), don't go ruining that by sticking a massive great weapon on it.
-
Yeah this is fantastic. Keep it as it is.
-
Another lightweight, but this time I think this showcase needed a 'themed horizontal spinner'
So my brain came up with this:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/46844MakoSplash.png)
Yeeah... Never skinning again xD
-
amazing
-
You may want to revise the name should you ever enter a tournament with it (Mako is a very famous DSL VS - https://wiki.gametechmods.com/index.php?title=Mako (https://wiki.gametechmods.com/index.php?title=Mako)) but it looks awesome again. Nice work.
-

No. This bot's just for show. And as suspected I'm not as familiar with DSL at all, especially DSL's history xD.
If it makes it any better I'll give it the scientific name for a Mako Shark.
-
Hammerhead 2 with a spinner :D
Always liked that robot. Good job man.
-
That's skinned very nicely. Of course, it would look nicer if you scaled the resolution up a bit, but still. Also, I like the fins and tail. Overall it's very cool.
-
Maybe my final bot of today, its another lightweight but its much smaller than Isurus.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/53220helichopter.png)
I have actually battle tested this one. It's stable, quick and it can smack a few bots about quite happily.
I'm happy with the speed of the 'helicopter' blade as well but I'm not so keen on the skin (because I made it xD), but hey, what ya gonna do? LOL.
-
Like the name!
-
One more before bed. Driving lessons and whatnot.
Time for some healthy robot building methinks, one of your five a day!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/68880OrangeSliceSplash.png)
-
I like it.
-
Okay, MAYBE my standards haven't been great... Until now.
Hope you enjoy this one as much as I did making it ^^
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/14489TheTortoise.png)
-
I don't understand why you think you're bots aren't great. THEY ARE! This looks ok tbh
-

If you look at your comment carefully you've contradicted yourself xD
But thanks nonetheless!!
-
now make one called "the hare"
-
Another flipper, I know... Quality has dropped again, ah well...
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/47938AngelsKiss.png)
No idea why I named it this... Just felt appropriate at the time...
-
Not sure on the name, but looks pretty good.
-
I don't get tortoise. Are the large pointy tips just for cool looks or it is actually a complex hammer ?
-

It's actually the self righting mechanism. The clamping claw can self right it but not as quick as I hoped.

Eh, pointy tips on a srimech ? Why ?
You can easily use something easier, such as a simple burst + extender setup, and it will work.

Eeh, I guess. To be honest I think my showcase has fallen flat... I have run out of original ideas.
(Funnily enough I removed the spikes)

Nah. You are too new to fall flat yet.

Here's a popup.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/89734TODsplash.png)
I know you wanted inside pics of my stock bots. But I'm giving you the insides for this one, so you can poke holes in the design ofc~ ^^
-
Not 100% sure what weight class it is so I can't comment 100% on the bot itself. All I can say is if this was intended as a Standard MW (just guessing as an Ironforge Standard MW tournament is in discussion) this wouldn't be allowed due to the razors cutting right through the motors/wheels.

I'm not planning on entering any tournaments with this bot.
To be honest when I get the time to I might delete this thread. All my bots have just sucked, I'm not having as much fun as I was when I created Raven. Maybe I'm just some 'one bot wonder'.
Thanks for your comment anyway.

If you're not having fun building bots, just don't build for a little bit and then come back to it when you have more ideas. Don't delete your thread because you don't get new bots perfect or up to your standards on the first try, just take comments into consideration and increase your building skill over time.

Well, having low self-confidence kind of makes it worse dude.
I just... Suck. That's how I think.
I've entered a few tournaments with legal bots. (Bots In Space, BW Bash etc)
But to be honest I just can't compete. Sorry if this has put you on a downer... I'm sorry.
-
If you tell yourself that you suck, your bot building will suffer. Just try to stay positive when making bots or whatever else you may be doing and think about the cool things you can make with the right mind set, such as Raven.
-
stop whining your stuff looks pretty good so don' t delete this showcase. otherwise I will down rep you. that will nibble on your self confidence ;)

Apologies. I'm taking yugi's advice and taking a break. No need to threaten me. (Unless you were joking).
-
I was half joking half serious. you will never like all the things you create. but everything you do lets you make some progress in learning. take your time and do what you like to with the game
-
Yeah, don't go deleting your showcase just because you don't have any good ideas. I haven't showcased a bot in months.
Edit: Correction, I haven't showcased a bot since February 2nd of 2014.
-
No one said they don't like your robots so you must be doing something right
Maybe not everyone will be sure on them but this thread is progress in your GTM career. People will hate. People will say whether they don't like your robots. Don't let it get to you though. No one has yet.
-
C'mon man, just because you don't have any cool ideas, doesn't mean you should just give up immediately on about 3 pages. Don't let yourself down either just because you think you're just bad. I mean, I had some examples of shortcomings in my showcases and I didn't give up, I just waited a bit and built a different bot and improving from the criticism I received. Soon, you'll get better than you already do. [/redundancy]
-
I also tend to suffer from low self-confidence, m8. It's emotionally corrosive and you should try ignore it and just do stuff without thinking too much about it. Whether you suck or not, just do it. If you THINK you suck then you will probably suck. There are times when thinking hurts more than helps.
Interestingly enough you don't suck. You build well. Heck, you already build better than other members that have already been here for years, imo.
If you insist everyday on building something you will run out of ideas. The more you struggle for inspiration the less inspiration you'll get. Do something else, take brakes from game, stay busy and you'll start getting ideas popping from nowhere.
Edit: One last note. If you run on low self-confidence you probably have similar thinking as me. I noticed your latest showcased bots had fewer comments and that could've bummed you out a bit and made you think you lost your mojo (i'm just speculating here). But you shouldn't worry about that. People will see your showcase, they may compliment you or not. When someone spots something that could be done better he will point it out. When there's nothing really to point out people will most likely not say anything. i'm basically repeating what was already said above, soo yeah.
Keep up, m8. You don't need to showcase something everyday to please. Look at me I showcase something every 2 or 3 months XD

Thank you very much, I have been taking breaks. I've just been playing Stock RA2 passively with a friend.
I haven't run out of ideas because I have quite an imagination but I found that the originality of my builds started to lack and then I caved in with low confidence. I apologize to everyone (and to you Dominating), I feel as though I've wasted your time with my whining.
-
I just... Suck. That's how I think.
are you done saying flat-out nonsense ? you suck as much as i'm a three-headed ninja squid! you make some pretty badass stuff, and if you suck, then i must be the worst builder to have ever joined this forum, you are far, very far from sucking, so stop thinking stuff about yourself that is completely false....
-
Just built this for fun. So, as hard as it is, no criticism please! ^^ Cheers.
The idea came from when my PS3 crashed when updating Gran Turismo 6, and unfortunately it landed on the infamous 99%
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/71547ninetynine.png)
It's a LW, because LW's are small, quick & annoying xD (to fight against AND control...)
-
Now I really like it! Good work mate.
-
Now I really like it! Good work mate.
Well, if you liked that one. I'm confident that you'll like this even more, I decided to do a themed bot, it's been a while. But I think I have my mojo back xD (I hope~)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/47985NigelSnailSplash.png)
Specs:
Pistons are used to 'slither' across the ground while 1 small wheel at the back of the bot is used to turn Nigel around
Powered by 1 Big Battery & 3 Energizers
Titanium 3 armour
It's a rammer! (ish..)
-
Ha! That's brilliant. Good job man.
-
I know I was told not to release a bot every day. But this one was sitting in my Bot Garage for ages.
(I might release Nigel the Carnivorous Snail for you lot to play with. Lol, he's not very good)
Anyway, he's another theme-ish bot.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/67275FleaSplash.png)
-
I know I was told not to release a bot every day.
TBH it doesn't really matter unless you don't listen to advice and just spam bots. Flea looks pretty good.
-

Yeah I know. The main focus was to create a bot under 100kgs. Which I have problem with going over xD
-
Flea looks pretty cool for what it is.
The snail looks pretty awesome as well.
-
Thanks dude. You'd be surprised with how many watermarked images of 'flea silhouettes' there are on Google Images.
-
the beetleweight limit in ironforge is 90kg. still a good bot.
-

Main aim was to keep it under 100kg. Wasn't intending to make a Beetleweight.
-
Eh. It doesn't jump.
-
Eh. It doesn't jump.
And Nigel the Snail doesn't leave a trail. How realistic were you expecting?
-
I know I was told not to release a bot every day.
You were told to not release a bot everyday IF you are struggling for ideas :rolleyes:
No one prevents you from posting 50 bots per day and nobody forces you to build one per day or week or month or year or decade either. As long as you have the inspiration AND will for it you are free to build and showcase as many as you want.

Leaving trails is impossible in RA2, jumping is.

I like the skins you made on all 3, specially the Flea.
99% has an interesting chassis look though I think the hammer could be a bit longer.
The snail is just one of those original just for fun bots that I'm all too aware about :P
I'm wondering if the top Sickle on the Flea is powered by a burst motor? Also if you aim for just under 100Kg you could add some additional extender work on the front and create a grid like simple armor.
As suggested before, you should add an extra pic with the insides. It will help us a bit more on understanding the bot and on advice
-
Wanted to try out a tracked bot, as well as to mess about with burst pistons.

Looks like Drillzilla, I like it.

Here's a bot jaydee can use for his identity theft tourney thing
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/29705TermiteSplash.png)
Texture makes it look like it's made of wood, hence the name. Also the style of weaponry is basically Splinter's.

Surprisingly, I've had no trouble with self-righting. Though I guess I could have been lucky, I'll keep you updated if it runs into a "srimech" problem! ^^

Bugger, i was going to make Pinsir into Splinter. That is much better though.
-
I need some ideas for this bot
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/17239hmwcawciawccwSplash.png)
The name is abbreviated because... Well, the abbreviation only just fit let alone the bot's FULL name :|
I just need some suggestions because tbh, this is the worst bot I've created so far... So any ideas? (I want to keep the thin wedged chassis though!)
-
Make it a 180 degree motor hammer. Please.
-
you can BFE the name so it is longer than the name character limit that RA2 gives you on the botlab.
-
Here's a bot I put effort into. I know right?

I got hungry... And produced this monstrosity...

Its uh... Its uhmm... It's a... Yeah.

The UK is strong in this one.
Also, this combines the machete/katana/knives plus a spinning drum, and equals I NEED IT ON THE BOT EXCHANGE ALONG WITH ALL YOUR OTHER ONES SO WE CAN ALL ENJOY THE INSANITY AND BEAUTY HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!
-
10/10 I would dunk it in my tea.
I know you said it's an artbot, but it actually looks pretty effective. Have you tested it in combat?
-
Remember my Middleweight Bedbug? You do? Well, here's what he looks like now~

...Never again

Ha. I liked that episode, I felt like Ralph was semi smarter in that episode compared to the other ones I've seen.
Wait. What was I going to say? Oh yeah, the bot looks interesting but slightly messy.

Yeah... To be honest it's been a while since I made a bot which was an amalgamation of extenders and such. Ahh well. It's just a bit of fun really ^^ Also, how many slots are left for "B I S?"
-
I thought that episode was pretty funny.
As for the bot, I like the front half of it but the back half looks like a mutated child of a small train and a range rover.

put the daos (I THINK they are daos, they're some kind of Chinese sword) so the edged side is outside
maybe you'll do damage that way :P

It's a katana, Naryar, but I agree with ya.

No I'm pretty sure Nar's right in that it's a dao. Had 123 not deleted all his threads I could find the image to prove it to you.
Train looks good but not the best train we've seen here on GTM.

What does The Fox say?

No, it is not a katana.

Well, when I was drunk I was thinking dao but now for some reason I am thinking it may be a jian.
Anyways, less relevant questions aside, the inside of Fox is unrealistic (but that's your choice) and a bit messy. I think you can put the bursts so you can use a bit less weight on extender work.
You should also put some slot decals on it for the hammer and the flipper.

Kurt Wylde will be proud

It's not fox related anymore I don't care.
Q: Why do you keep your tracks inside? Protection or rule of cool?

Anyways, it's OK, but you are still angling your weapons the wrong way.
-
It's about as interesting as a spinner like that can get. Looks good.
-
Well... I'm not gonna bother with Ironforge. I thought after a short break I'd have better ideas, but it seems only I thought they were good.
-
STOP GIVING UP FOR JESUS CHRISTS SAKE! JUST STOP! IF A BOT DOESNT WORK OUT, DONT DELETE POSTS AND CUT LOSSES! KEEP IT FOR CHRISTS SAKE!
You won't achieve anything. He's made up his mind and won't listen to us SAYING HIS ROBOTS ARE GOOD!
Convert to replicas for a while? In my opinion it's real fun to do it.

-
NO. You have made some of the best things i have seen in DUCKing years. DO NOT GIVE UP!
If you need it, take a break. Come up with a bunch of concepts then make them 1 by 1. BTW post insides of your bots that would help us make them better.

You wont achieve anything? Hell, i just got a reaction to my post (Which i deleted because i think i worded it badly) in minutes after via PM.
And, yes. The Battlebots 2014 mod pack could use some of the stuff you could create. So maybe do some Battlebots replicas or just any replicas. If you struggle for ideas, cloning and making replicas solve that issue until the creators block is gone.
Tibsy, take a break. You need it.
-
It looks decent, a bit big, but not too bad.
-
Right, during my short break I've been playing around with the custom paintjobs.
Here's what I conjured up:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/9223EQsplash.png)
-
Whoa, nice skin bro.
-
Whoa, nice skin bro.
Too much time listening to dubstep I think ._.
-
Not bad at all, I like it. My only criticism is the lack of a slot for the spikes on the skin. If you were to add them you would probably have to rearrange the volume bars, but I think it would be worth it.
-
I wub the skin. How well does it wedge things?
-
Not yet tested in battle. Will get back to you on that one.
-
wub wub wub
-
Not bad
Lel
I really like the robot, especially with the dubstep skin going on there.

*sniffs* 'Sup? I redid Yeti while I was ill.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/55912YetiMk2Splash.png)
He needed a major overhaul. And he's in a more comfortable environment than the cutthroat world of Stock.
Also, I do apologize for my rash attitude towards the tournament host, RedAce. It was mainly in PM but I wasn't myself, main kudos goes to him for putting the effort into the tournament and my totally horrific stock entries that he had to put into which were completely dominated by more experienced builders. I decided to stop with Stock and go to something you know and I know that I'm familiar with.
Thanks for the fun, better luck whenever I decide to do stock again ^^
-
Man all your skins look nice.
Stock isn't that bad though, you just have to learn all the tricks and glitches to efficient building. Although it seems like you prefer to make nice looking IRL bots, which Ironforge and DSL are better for. Keep up what you're doing

Thanks dude. I wanted to carry on developing Yeti as a sort of... Test Tube Mouse if you will, I'll develop new building techniques which I can add to the bot. And also parallelogram chassis are quite efficient (mostly).
-
Please do not ask what the HELL this thing is meant to be!!! During my time being ill I got bored on ironforge one evening:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/45481WHSDsplash.png)
Yeah.. Scruffy extender work, crap wedge... Want me to carry on with the list of awfulness?
-
Now THAT's modern art.

There's a good bot underneath all of that mess. Find it :)

Oh, xD *face palms* sorry. Thanks man, what do you think of the new Yeti? Better than the stock version? lol
-
honestly, it needs a cleanup and a skin and it'll be a pretty good bot.
At your own discretion, of course.

Well, If I'm honest I'm alright at the skinning. And to be honest I need to have a good old scruffy bot because that's what it's all about in my opinion. I wanted an effect to make it look like it had just been from a scrapyard, and it certainly has along with an explosion in a scaffold factory also.
-
A bot like that really doesn't need extenders everywhere to make it look great. Sometimes, less is more - you may end up making something that looks like a totally realistic real life bot, which is much more impressive than crazy extenders in my opinion at least.
(and before you freak out, yes your bots are good, just take the opinions you think could be valid and try them out in future - we're not criticizing you :P)

I know that Craig. It's just that it was something just to go completely bonkers with you know? I did state when I posted Raven was that I'm not a serious builder. But that doesn't mean I WON'T take advice, every little helps (other supermarket slogans are available).
-
Spend a little, live a lot?
Anyway, I still like it.

Here's something much more appealing then ^^
Try to put THIS flower in a vase!!!

Maths much???
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/64372518splash.png)
You can guess what number I multiplied by two to get the name of this vertical spinner ;)
-
This is definitely one of your better builds. Good work. It could use a little more support on the disc though.

I've many better builds, this is just one of them ^^
Thanks dude :)
-
Nice spinner and if my math isn't too faily the number is 259 (nice reference to the robot wars competitor)
-

Haha, thanks. A while ago me and Lemonism were talking about if Robot Wars competitors made 'evo' versions of their bots sort of like Behemoth. So here's what I imagine 259 would look like (and be named, also because 259 2, 259 Mk2 or 259 Evo aren't really good names).
-
What is it with these dark things above your wedges ? Are these components, and if that is the case why are they blocking the feeder wedges ?
Otherwise it's neat but I can't help but feel more discs doesn't make it better. You could just ditch them and keep 2 discs, and make something more interesting out of this weight. Heavier weapon setup on each disc obviously, maybe something cooler ?

First time I'm confused. And to be honest Ironforge is where I go just to let loose with an idea I have in my head, whether I make them effective in battle or not. What's wrong with being proud of something nowadays?
If you want something to critique, I've recently uploaded some DSL bots. And I know you're extremely familiar with that.
Thanks for the feedback though as always Naryar ^^
-
Maybe it is merely the bot's shadow. I don't know.
The darker parts above the wedges, are they components or just shadows ?

I think Nar might be looking at these

My first attempt at a humanoid bot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbxGgsI9nFc&feature=youtu.be# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbxGgsI9nFc&feature=youtu.be#)
It's meant to do 'the twist' which was a dance from the 1960's made famous by the song of the same name. Though the bot ended up turning into some form of shufflebot.... And full body spinner (watch til the end for that)
-
Ha ha, I quite like that.
-
Servos love to havok and have the bot go bonkers. But still...
I WANT TO DANCE WITH THAT
-
Well I've decided to skin it. Nothing special, gonna give it a lovely tuxedo.
-
Well, I've skinned the dancing bot.
I couldn't resist making it look like a Giorgio Armani suit ad.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/74146TheTwistSplash.png)
Note: My splash making skills aren't usually this rough, I'm just a tad tired and ill... Sorry guys :c
-
sweet suit
-
Give it a Stealth Steeler from Team Fortress 2.
-
give it a nose, and a mouth. so it has an expression.

A version of a specific bot that would've done slightly better in the Robot Wars International League Championship & 1st World Championship:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/6025TAevo.png)
I know it's not really an improvement, but it's something that's slightly better than Chuckles.
-
wait, does it have weapons ?
-
[classified]
-
There's a blade on the disc next to the slot Nar, so I'm assuming it's the same on the other side.

oh right that ironforge blade, completely missed it, must have been camouflaged incidentally with the slot pattern

Well, another attempt at replica making and BFE-ing
I have chassis BFE'd before, but I haven't done it so this extremity before, hope you like it! ^^"

Guilty as charged.
EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out. I recognized the robot but remembered it with a different paintjob, so that threw me off.

Nice job Tibsy with that Dominator 2 replica.

Maybe he's not a fan of Robot Wars. You can watch the episodes easily on YouTube.

I watched Series 6 on Youtube recently, but it had a different paint job in that so it threw me off. Should have recognized the shape though.

That was when they chromed Dominator 2 before it 'evolved' into Dominator 3 which is basically a chrome Kat 3
-
Looks really good considering the lack of variety in Ironforge parts. The chassis BFE was done very well too.
In fact looking through this showcase again almost makes me want to dust off Ironforge and build something. Maybe I will.

Still got the paint scheme done to near-perfection :D
-
insides would be nice
btw iron spikes in IF have normals

I'd feel better about it if it had fewer weapons and some front armor. It's not like it'd be obscuring any artwork.
Nice name, btw :P
