Nah, this is just a general .bot that I made to get back into the groove of using Photoshop/Blender/RA2 together properly after a break.

Sliding back into my RA2 showcase after almost 3 months like nothing happened, whatchu gon' do, uh, again?
Diver Down Diver Down's chassis is a remodeled version of the chassis that I used for Goldfinger and, uh, "Doggy Style", but this time, I've 180'd the model and it's now a front-hinged flipper. I did want to try and make the little arms at the front flexible on a hinge but the game was being very temperamental so I just decided to stick with, well, sticks. It's also a pretty steep front-hinged flipper, so it's effectiveness is immediately cut by 50%. Mind you, I'm the one who made it, and that's cut its effectiveness down again by about 45%, so that leaves its effectiveness at around... still, nevermind. It's the thought that counts, right? 3

I'm glad that this is the first thing I see when I login for the first time in months. Good stuff, will have to dust off some of the builds.

This was the outcome, a wannabe Ryu Kishin with a srimech that can (theoretically) double as a front hinged flipper.I'm shook, it's brilliant 5

Tusk: Act 2 Much like the original Tusk, Tusk: Act 2 utilises the same mechanics but with a slight change. The weapon motor is upgraded from a Tornado Mer Gearbox to a 6 Mag Gearbox, and a pair of lifting arms rest underneath to lift up bots into the path of the blade - the lifting arms aren't that strong, but they're stong enough to slightly tip opponents and allow them to get Tusk'd. 6

Are there still open spaces for this tournament? I logged on for the first time in a while, found something that I actually want to enter and the entry quota is almost filled

I've also been working on a Centurion (s4) replica but I've temporarily stopped because it's a pain in the arse because a fair few of its texture map equivalents are at funny angles.

Yeah, the chassis stuff only look about 10-15 minutes. Vercingetorix was really quite fiddly. I would've included tracks in the design but RA2 is broken. Cyrax is missing the "light" on the top, but I've since fixed it. 11

4.72gb is quite hefty for a beta, especially if it's already stripped down. Are you able to give a WIP changelog with a few screenshots of improvements? 12

I've posted these on Discord already but I've made a few other replicas.

Attempted building the chassis for an Agent Orange upgrade. I think it's pretty good, considering that it's got 80 meshfaces.

Are you using Ironforge for this btw or do you just have the components in your game? Thanks for the comment, I used to export textures at 1024x1024 but 2048x2048 gives them much more clarity. I would have had 3 more .bots to showcase but I mucked up the process in Blender and they rendered wrong. The base game I'm using is the Resetti's Wars AI Pack so I think it's just things taken from that. If I'm going to upload any .bots to Bot Exchange I'll basically rebuild the .bot in a clean version of DSL 2.2 without using certain items (the motors for Bee Boy 2 are modded flatmotors and the battery is also modded). 15

It's been just over a month since I last posted here, so I thought I'd try a different build for once. I'll be continuing my JJBA-themed .bots in a few days and I'll try to make them not "underwhelming"
Bee Boy 2 / Ravenous Rat 2 / Sarcophage 2 Bee Boy 2 Although Bee Boy 2's final form has obviously taken inspiration from robots like 13 Black and Chrome Fly, the original version was just one-half of the chassis. When sorting out the internals of Bee Boy 2, I decided to try to implement an omni-directional driving mechanism like Shatter! If it didn't work, I'd just delete the other wheels and drive it like a normal .bot. (It worked. Very nicely. Very nicely indeed.) As a result it's a little slower than some other .bots, but it makes up for that lack in speed with 2 really hard-hitting spinners. Ravenous Rat 2 The original version of Ravenous Rat 2 was just a reskin of the original, but what's the point in giving something a "2" and a new paint job if you're not going to change the interiors/weapon? The original Ravenous Rat's overhead sledgehammer arm has been replaced with a double-headed polespike hammer. The design inspiration for Ravenous Rat 2 came from checking reference images to horse and bull skulls. Sarcophage 2 Sarcophage 2 is, like Ravenous Rat 2, a complete redesign on the original design, with a new chassis shape, weapon and locomotion. The two little divits on the side of the .bot are supposed to keep it from being stuck on its side. Both Sarcophage 2 and Ravenous Rat 2 are textured in the same way and I didn't notice that until I went to post this. The differential factor between both is that Sarcophage is a bit more bronze. 16

Speed King / Survivor / Bohemian Rhapsody (and Scary Monsters, again)
Speed King and Survivor were absolute doddles to design, but I must've done about six models for Bohemian Rhapsody before choosing to just reuse the chassis of "Hahaha". I try not to reuse already existing .bot files as bases for others because it lends itself to laziness and half-arsedness and I'm not about that lifestyle. Seeing as how Speed King is one of my favorite Stands, I initially decided to create a little head crest to go somewhere on the chassis. After changing the look of the design I chose to not include the crest as I felt that it cluttered the design. I also made a mockup of Scary Monsters to try the style of background I wanted, and I think it looks alright. The next couple of designs should be Soft Machine, Oh! Lonesome Me, Talking Head and Brain Storm! 19

I've just finished Survivor and Speed King, and I'll make an update post when I've finished Bohemian Rhapsody, Oh! Lonesome Me and Brain Storm.
aqua necklace has that classic robot wars flipper look and style to it keep it up! Thank you very much, it's the aesthetic that I was aiming for, so I'm glad I was able to do it some justice! Didn't see Aqua Necklace and B.I.G. until just now. Both are incredible I'm not as pleased with B.I.G as I am with Aqua Necklace (I'm really glad I added the lines under the text at the last minute), but it's still neat. 20

Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)
Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) is an arrow-shaped .bot armed with a front-hinged arm flipper. While not exactly stunning, the front prongs are invaluable at getting under opponents, allowing me to send them back to the age of the dinosaurs! [Mummified Corpse Eyes not included with this .bot and must be found seperately] This one was a pretty challenging one to skin as everything seemed to be on a skew of about 45-50 degrees, so getting everything properly framed around this oddness was a bit difficult (but not impossible) |
