Whoa! I take off for a day and all these new comics pop up!

Great stuff.  I also laughed at Freezies melty head.  :D

Had no idea that those were Nate's limbs on the floor of the end box there... Looked like some sort of weird blue explosion for the "Fin" or something. I didn't make the connection.  :P

I wrote a love note to Purolator web questions/comments email address. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Hello there!

I was delighted to see the Purolator Metal Wars   commercial on NASCAR.com yesterday.  I think it is incredibly awesome   that Purolator is associating its products with combat robotics. Fans of   the sport/hobby have seen it go from the basics of backyard hobby to   the glory of primetime television and back. It is heartwarming to see   that a company such as yours would show it a bit of needed love.
 
I have posted links on our forum for others to view the commercials and become familiar with your products.

Forum Link: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,4631.0.html
 
GameTechMods is a website dedicated to an old Combat Robotics game   called Robot Arena 2.  The game first came out in 2001, but there are   still legions of faithful fans that play and mod the game to it's   maximum potential. These same legions can easily become Purolator fans   as well. I am hoping, with the exposure, that they will become loyal to   your products and show their support in the future.  (Sure, some of them   are too young to drive... but still.)
 
All in all, I wanted to extend my gratitude for your   advertisements.  They made me laugh & support a hobby/sport that is   close the hearts of many people. Keep up the great work! Forward this   email to the entire company and extend the thanks from all of us at   GameTechMods.
 
Oh, and they just built an Advance Auto Parts next door to my   workplace last month.  I now know where to go for Purolator parts in the   future!

You are all awesome.
Many thanks,
-Jack Daniels & The guys and gals of GameTechMods.com

You do realise thees guys are just the puralator companies channel? They might not care.................

Sorry Sparkey, I didn't realize that you had already posted these videos on the forum.  I guess I missed that thread/post or something.

As for the channel vs company thing.  Who cares?  I think we should send them support messages anyways.  Let's face it, robot combat went from hobby to Primetime back down to hobby pretty quickly.  Just the fact that Purolator is putting their company image on something that isn't really popular says a lot.  Somebody within that company, ad agency, or marketing dept has a love for combat robotics.

Chatterbox / Purolator's Robot Combat Commercials
« on: August 20, 2010, 08:20:24 PM »
I found out today that Purolator Oil and Air Filters is running a new ad campaign involving Combat Robots.

Here is the main site: http://www.purolatorautofilters.net/Pages/home.aspx

The commercials are under the "Metal Wars" link.

Here is the direct link as well: http://www.purolatorautofilters.net/promotions/video/Pages/videos.aspx

There are only three "battles" and they all made me laugh.

I think it is pretty damn awesome that some company out there is combat robots in their marketing.  Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Perhaps we can get them to sponsor a tournament on GTM?  I definitely am going to make a point to buy their products for my car.

Ok my SSG comic isn't flowing well.  I need to think about it some more.

But this one popped into my head today so I HAD to make it ASAP.

Doesn't Serge build amazing bots as well? After all, he IS a veteran...

That is seriously the funniest statement in this whole jokes thread.  :gawe:

I like Lil Ripper. Looks great.

Havoks are the biggest enemies of building smaller bots.  I had a couple of Antweights totally flip out all over the place when I was building them. Frustrating.

Cool stuff!

Congrats to Joe and Nary (have to say it here because the other thread is lockzorz)

I liked R0B0's, and all of JD's.

Heh, Thanks!  I think a lot of the comics here are cool.  NFX's comics, especially, made me laugh.  Some of the humor can be a tad uhhhhh farfetched

At some point in the future after we have a ton of comic posts, i guess we should collect them all and post them on the Wiki somewheres.

Back when Ribbs announced this tournament... I downloaded DSL and built a bot for it.  So, technically it is my first bot and I fear that lawnmower blade is not going to last long against anyone.  Annnd my wedges probably wont get under anything whatsoever.  XD

First round loss for me! Wheeeee!

Heheh Freeziez comic made me chuckle.

The idea of a modified SFTW is amusing.  Some day we should have a SFTW tournament where we have to use the original bot file for that bot and modify it without changing any of the original components!
