I agree with your views on Spawn Again but Cassius was the father of UK srimechs.

Indeed.

I mean, the power in Cassius at the time was insane. It deserves to be in here, no questions asked.

Spawn Again? I've never been a big fan of the Spawn line of robots but they are pretty good.

I suggested Spawn Again very early on and I'm sure the chances of it beeing partly included are quite good

While we're on the lines of Cassius, why not Cassius II? So many have tried to build this, so few have completed it. It would be nice to see what you could do, HB.

Cassius 2, though was promising, never really got going.

I think it'd be nice to have but the original still needs to be here.

How hard is it to build Cassius you reckon.
The art of insanity is the very core of art itself.

And taking on house robots

He's done a Cassius II before and has done Dystopia, one of the hardest to replicate ( I assume). Why not Cassius 2?
Cassius 1 has already been made to a tee ans is pretty basic.

Still request S7 Spawn Again and judge shred 3 & 4.

S3 should be in this for sure. There still isn't a replica of it that truly shows its power (or its wheels) IMO.

Also I don't want to sound like a broken record but Grim Reaper would be fantastic :V

By the way, I'm permitting suggestions for a bit, are there any robots you lot think I am missing out that truly deserve to be in the game from being a significant part of Robot Wars History?

A suggestion is when you put something forward for consideration. Eg. "Maybe Cassius could be a good pick because of blah blah blah". A request is when you tell someone to do something. Eg. "I request that you make Cassius"

Also, I've taken most of the suggestions people have submitted here, and made a strawpoll to see what suggestions are the most popular. However, it's a question of what robots truly deserve to be in, not your personal favourites. I didn't include some suggestions because they either might be getting updated anyway (Terrorhurtz, Chaos 2), are already on the master list (Thor, Grim Reaper), or can't be put in due to contract reasons (Killerhurtz, Envy).

http://strawpoll.me/2616333

As this isn't an offical poll from either HB or daleksec, I don't expect any results from it to reflect on what they do. I just made it to see what suggestions the community liked the most overall.

Ah, yes. I seem to have forgot the difference for a sec there. However, I don't think jaydee said it as in, 'Oh, I said it, so now you make it.' I think he just couldn't see the difference between suggestion and requesting.

Yeah, I didn't mean it like that.

And Dalek, out of everyone requesting, why pick on me? Not pull someone else up on "I said no requesting blah blah blah"?

Yeah Yug, DS7 has stepped in because it's starting to turn into a massive requests thing again. I didn't expect so many people to say the same robot either. It's became frustrating frankly!

Jaydee, I've been reading the suggestions and you are the key person who seems to be taking advantage and making requests instead. How many times have you asked for the same robot?



Thanks for posting the poll, Knight, that's actually quite handy!


Right... Thank you to everyone who chipped in!
So here's the replies to all of the suggestions.

Now Spawn Again seems to have gotten the majority vote so I'm assuming it's a no brainer. I'd like to make the Series 5 version if anything because I made the S7 version previously and it was an absolute arse.

Mortis, right my original intention was to rescale the shell that Wham made because it was quite small. But something has buggered up with the mesh and neither of us can prevent the slots for the axe and flipper from filling up. So since RA2 can only fire one choice weapon anyway then It appears that the Series 2 version would be the best choice.

S3 will be an arse again, but I will make it on one condition... Someone provides me with photographs of of the logo and of the wheel hub so I can use them for the skin. If no-one can send me decent snaps then it's off the list. So I guess this makes it the peoples contribution!

Cassius 2, Wham has already made the chassis so I guess it seems logical to finish it off, I would have preferred Cassius 1 to be alongside junior and C3 but you all consider C2 to be the better choice. I guess it makes the task of skinning a lot more easier for me!

Vader/IG88 I don't think will last too long and it would be too exhausting to make the insides on the former. So like S3, if someone provides me with the photographs of IG88 that I can use for skins then I'll make it.

Sewer Snake, now I love it so whoever suggested it knows me well! But it's up to John Findlay whether that goes in or not.

Now I really like Grim Reaper, but once again I'd need photos for skins. If no-one can send me any by this time next month then I will just make the unqualified 2000 model with the axe.

Black Hole. Definitely but can someone get me a higher quality picture of the front that the one on the WIKI page? Cheers.

Luzifer, this should be Definate. Either Jarvis or Craaig will have photographed it today so that could possibly be next on the list.

Conquering Clown & Major Tom. Both of them, myself and DS7 would like to make but it depends on if was can make the head... If not then oh well!

PulverizeR - I can't really make my own discs because the attatchment point never seems to be central enough for it to pivot smoothly... So if I do make it then the disc would have to be really light, or I can attach the sides of the disc to a reskinned DSL disc. I depends. Also I'd need the photographs for the skins.

Hard... Too easy.     ... You could all make it yourselves tbh!

Philliper, I was thinking this but the shape would take me forever. Daleksec, what do you think, do you wanna take up this suggestion?

Pitbull I don't think is necessary because we already have Alien destructor with similar jaws. Plus yes it beat Behemoth but... I don't know. It's up to Daleksec.

Napalm, I already promised this, I should really get cracking!

Twn Twrn... For god sake, ***king no. :P Yes after the first time I said no it became a joke... But sadly some people are starting to take it seriously again... So before anyone asks... Please, we're not that good! :P

King B? Sounds good to me!

Judge shred, no it's not an important flipper and we have too many as it is.

Centurion maybe. But I think it's boring, I'd prefer Weldor tbh. Anyone fancy fetching skin worthy photographs?

Sumpthing maybe, I need more detailed photographs than there is available first. And then there is the question... Will it work in the game!?

Mousetrap is the sort you can DIY so no.

Supernova, yeah I have already said yes to this, I forgot. I feel like I should do this anyway because it's the only robot from Sri Lanka In the 'wars.'

Granny's revenge? Your taking the Micky right? Do you want your computer to crash? :P

Trident won't last 5 seconds and it isn't visually unique to qualify in my opinion.

Anarchy I'm not doing because It's impossible to replicate how it walks realistically. It would end up running like a car with a box instead of a wheel on only one axle... It'l be as useful as a chocolate fire guard.

Spikeasawrus... Hmmm nah.

Slicer, to much like a suicidal tendencies and tetanus love child... Which reminds me.

Tetanus. Yeah it's class! But version 2 or 3?


So there you go, now you know to some degree what I will be doing out of those suggestions. But it's also a shout out for members to contribute if they are to get what they want. So I hope you don't mind, if you do then we won't be getting anywhere will we? ;)

And I've just cropped this up. It's still rough and I haven't done the internals yet but it's Minor Tom. Massive thankyou to Craaig for taking the pictures yesterday!






There is another replica that has been made specifically for someone's team. I've asked the roboteer in question to post it so you'll be getting that later on... I wonder who it is? ;)

yeah and you used the word "requesting" how about if you said i would like to see or how about this? then it sounds like that your giving idea not requesting, learn some communication skills

Minor Tom looks pretty cool. How does the weapon work? Does it have a slow burst in it?

I totally agree Scrap, massive respect to you.

Unfortunately I didn't get any of Luzifer, it was packed up and ready to go before I got a chance, Flow's been a PITA all weekend :P. I did however get a chance to get the others you asked for, I'll send them shortly.
