it will only become a major threat when the ice caps begin to melt

Dude I think that's already started...

Don't think so, remember reading over and over 'soon' or 'if', we would have noticed the rise in sea level as well if the ice caps were melting, but ice is melting in the polar regions, just not the ice caps

Pollution is a threat, but not really a major one at this period in history, and it will only become a major threat when the ice caps begin to melt, but as Naryar said, Humans adapt. And most likely, with this next generation technology being produced today, in the next 50 years, our technology will most likely become so much more sophisticated that we might have overcome the use of fossil fuels and found a solution to global warming

And I'll be a 63 year old man sitting on a sofa still designing robots :P

To quote the best thing Mazakari ever said:

In a kind of retarded way.

It's pretty retarded.

Cheesus crust, my eyes

Pretty much all been said for the bot, also maybe you could make the flippers wedgy? In my experiance(new acronym please) those types of flippers aren't as good in RA2

Tango Gnat: Just sounds like you put 2 words together, not really

Tango Gnat backwards is Tango Gnat.

So I'm going to go through my opinion on all the names:

Gnat Bite: Has a nice ring to it, maybe this one
Spanish Fly: Sounds nasty and has a very nice ring, probably this one
Bullet Ant: sounds like something fast, but not for the current ant
Assasin Bug: hmm, not really, not as nice as the others
Gnat Attack: Love the sound of this, sounds like something striking, like an axe
Gnat-Thing Special: Sounds like a one trick pony or a final gambit or something like that, sounds cool
G.N.A.T: For a heavier weight class tbh
Bloodsucker: Yup, for a future crusher, and it sounds awesome
Tango Gnat: Just sounds like you put 2 words together, not really
All pun names: doesn't sound like something for the battlefield tbph but one day maybe

Also, I was bored, so I drew up some designs cause I was bored:


And could you answer these questions:
1. Which one looks the best
2. Which one would do the best
3. Which one will be the cheapest in your opinion

and also feel free to drop in any more name suggestions

EDIT: Also thank you plazmic inferno, R1885, Natef and Badnik for your help on the receiver :)

Here's a really quick picture to illustrate the idea:

Where the red is the skirt hinge and the green is where it attaches to the flipper

Looks good, the only problem is that when it fires, I think it might look a little off. The reason is on the real chaos 2, the flipper hinge wasn't right at the top, that was the flipper's armour

True, but this is no less realistic and true to the original than the flipper clipping through the robot :P

Guess so
