In honor of the upcoming May 2009 Terminator Salvation movie I decided to update and enhance the Starcore v4 T-800 Terminator.
* 2 Stacked Supervolt 12V Batteries
* 2 Snapper II Burst Motors
* 2 External Mount Wide Displacement HP Z-Tek Drive Motors
* 3 Bursted HP Z-Tek Attack Motors
* 3 Rotator Bars
* 3 Aligned Maces per Arm (27 in Total)
* 4 Overlapping Weapon Braking Ram Plates
* 2 Weapon Breaker/Ramming Razor Tips
* Highly Efficient Chassis Design
* Lean Invertible Profile
* Strong Battery:Motor Ratio for Maximum Attack in the Opening Minute
Bursted HP Z-Tek and Weapon Stacked DDT Burst Motors are getting so strong that a good Offensive is an agressive Defense. Rather then focus on maximum weapons possible it becomes critical to protect the chassis and wheels from attacks and breaking the opponents weapons while maximizing the damage that occurs when your hits occur.
Thus was chosen an aggressive defense (Ram Plates block and still do half damage in response vs Snow Plows only block). Double thick Ram Plates in theory do that much more reply damage. With tripple aligned Maces on each arm doing 50% more damage per hit then double aligned weapon solutions.
Setting the chassis back and thin profile reduces chances of chassis hits by over the top or under attacks.
The forward mounted Razor Tips were a use of remaining weight to catch and break that many more weapons. Yes I know they are half hit points. Better then leaving the weight unused and can be used for late round ramming as needed. If I can round up 4 more KG will upgrade them to Maces or Iron Spikes.
In testing the T-800 Terminator shredded other HS designs (even when they had more Maces or Iron Spikes), ripped apart VS designs and in general tore the weapons right off Pop-ups. Potentially vulnerable to Over-the-top Hammer bots and there is always the random lucky Havok hit to weapon motors in the early seconds of a fight that can seriously upset a match. A Juggler can sometimes perfectly trap the Terminator and wreck havok.
Just add 2.1KG of flesh for a perfect 800KG Terminator.
