Just one replica tonight, folks. However, It's one I think I did pretty well.  Plunderbird 1 Originally built as a tribute to Gerry Anderson, this was the first incarnation of the infamous "Plunderbird" series. This particular one had a circular saw mounted on a movable arm, which could flip out of the robot itself to attack. By using unique interchangable weapons pods, it could also utilise a pnuematic spike which was guided by a laser- I might do that one next. Unfortunately, It never got to use them, as it got trapped on a grille in its Series 1 Gauntlet Run, and kind of needed International Rescue in those circumstances. It did win the Best Design Award for that year.

Other than that, that's also a pretty good replica you have there. Well, it certainly looks powerful enough!

I'm impressed! You got the armour spot-on.

Agreed. And it wouldn't because it's a  of a lot smaller. That ain't no 1200kg SHW with powerful motors.
I made a middleweight version of Shini (I wonder why... :P) and it's hardly tippy at all.
Mortis looks good btw, don't like the 'new Silver Titanium' armour on Dominator 2 though, doesn't look right XD Thanks for your comments on Mortis, Craaig. And if you like, I can also do Dominator 2 in its Series 5 armour (The original colour, with the flames down the sides)

I didnt think that one was a Heavyweight though.. that was a better version of his "robot challenge" design.... I heard Rex was not to thrilled seeing the floor flipper (it was his original design for a stunt ramp for actors in movies before making a robot with it)
anyway.. Mortis looks good.. have you thought about DSL ? the steel or aluminum extenders would be better then the stock ones I suppose, it looked a little bit small to be a heavyweight. However, I do remember it fighting M2 (A HW) at a live Event, so It could be a Heavyweight. And thanks for your comments on Mortis. I do also have DSL 2.1, but I personally don't really like using it as much as stock. I sometimes end up staring at the Giant list of custom parts, and end up spending some time wandering what to do! = P

I've just built even more replicas, folks! Again, it's a pack of three.  Our First Contender is Dominator 2, in its Series 6 Persona. I concealed the wheels (Just like the original robot), and gave it new Silver Titanium Armour, the same kind used in Nuclear Submarines. Its axe lets it self-right, too.  Next up is Onslaught. OK, I know it's already been done, but I thought I'd show the world my attempts at it. It's very quick and manouverable, working in conjunction with the lifting shovel in the front to sent opponents reeling. It self rights just like the real thing.  Finally, we have Mortis, in it's Series 3/4 flavour. With possibly some of the strongest armour in the History of RW (Titanium, Carbon Fibre and Kevlar, coated in a layer of Silicon Carbide), it's nearly unstoppable without a flipper. Watch for the new lifting arm, complimenting that ferocious Tanto Axe Blade, it's capable of both flipping and self-righting with ease.

the real one never got much further then the drawing boards... Rex did start making it but rumor is wasn't too happy with robot wars after series 2 so didn't go further
http://web.archive.org/web/20061218015928/www.specialeffects.freeserve.co.uk/cas3updt.htm Actually, he did make it and entered it into live events. However, he didn't enter it into Series 4 because of an incident he saw where a crew member was injured after a robot wasn't switched off properly. After that, he vowed never to enter RW again until the Safety Regulations had been improved, which they never were, sadly. It's a shame really, it looked like a bloody good robot.

Probophobia No, because I saw it in an edition of "Real Robots" magazine, which I lost recently. However, there is a plan for it on Rex Garrod's website. And the Probophobia replica is quite good, too. Can its spikes actually lift opponents up, though?

Well folks, I'm posting a Triple Threat of Replicas here today, consisting of a Winning RW Tag-Team, and a Series 3 Semi Finalist.  OK, first, here's the Standalone robot...Panic Attack, from Series 3, Armed with new lifting forks and a Self-righting mechanism, it can really go in the arena. It's also fast and has strong armour. And then, there's the Tag-Team. It's Ming 2 and Rick, the Winning team for the "UK vs. USA Tag-Team Terror" for the Short-Lived Nickelodeon Robot Wars Series.  Ming 2 OK, so it's not exactly the same version of Ming which competed in that Competition (It was actually Ming 3, but I'll make a replica of him soon), but It's still part of the same Series, nonetheless. It has a lifting nose-cone on the front, designed to lift opponents up, pull them up onto the body, and in the process, Pop them over with a powerful flipper built into the top plate. And it works surprisingly well!  Rick The sequel to Maverick, this one made it to its Heat Final in Series 5, before eventually losing to Razer. It can work opponents over with a combination of a powerful front flipper, and a Face Spinner on the back. It can both Run Upside-Down, and Self-Right.

Definitely one of my all-time favourites is Cassius 2, from Series 3 of Robot Wars.

That new Razer looks Bloody Brilliant! Could we also see demonstration videos of the new Minion, Typhoon 2 and HypnoDisc? They'd be very interesting to see in their new personas-I particularly like Typhoon 2's new look. I suppose you could pit it against the original Typhoon! = )

aww slightly overweight. Don't worry, I fixed that with Alphasim's Reality Force Pack. It now weighs about 500kg (Christ, that's heavy), so now it's much closer to actually being in the Heavyweight Category. However, I wanted it to be in the Heavyweight class anyway, so weight wasn't a concern for me, except for fine-tuning the speed of the robot.

Go for it. It sounds like a great idea, and as long as Ultra-Violence and Panzer Mk.3 are in there, I'll be downloading it in a flash.

That Tricerabot replica looks fantastic! I like Snookums, too-Where could I catch a replica like that?
*Pulls out a fishing rod and casts it into the RW Arena*

Although im not familiar with either one of those bots I googled them and those replica's look pretty good. Thanks, man. I don't blame you for not being familiar with Cassius 3-He was due to appear in Series 4, but didn't appear there and was only in Live Events.

Could you put a Cassius 2 replica in there?

OK folks, here are my next two Alphasim RW AI pack replicas! Firstly, is the second creation of the Roadblock team for Series 3...Beast of Bodmin!  I think I did the skin quite well for this one, but I think it could be improved in some ways- I'm particularly proud of the eyes. And before you ask...No, they don't blink! = ) And secondly, here's a new one for you all, a replica which might be the first ever posted on GTM, and of a mysterious member of a RW family. It's Cassius 3!  As you can see, it's quite a departure from the original two Cassius robots, in the fact that it has a flipper which fires upwards, rather than forwards. It retains the CO2 spikes from Cassius 2, but are mounted on the sides, and used for self righting. It even has a chewblade! On top of that, it's fast and has strong armour too, making it a real force to be reckoned with in battle.

Does you Cassius replica have a working flipper? Yes it does. It's a reversed grey Chaos 2 Flipper, but is concealed inside the chassis. It's powered by an "Uber Hammer" motor, making it powerful on its own, but more relies on its speed coupled with the flipping power to allow Cassius 2's Flip-up Paddle to rock even the biggest foe backwards onto its top plate. In a short phrase, it's powerful. And the best thing? Mick Cutter doesn't drive it! = P "The long-awaited appearance of the runner-up from the last Series-Cassius, and Rex Garrod, a Flip-Up Paddle and CO2-powered Spike the weapons...Motors from Lawnmowers, can this cut the rest down to size?"

Yeah, ironically, I can't access your documents :P
Use the GTM Image Uploader (on the front page - the one with the BOTM on.) Thanks, Mudkip! You can see it without downloading now...

Can you make it so I don't have to download it? I would, but I don't know how to. Do you know how?
