Ok so, I've been wanting to do this for a while now.
I just wanna thank and compliment some of the people I've met here on GTM because Im just in the mood to say some nice things to people.
( couldn't find a better place to put it than here )

Hop: An absolute lad. Always a fun guy to talk to and hes helped me a lot when it comes to improving some of my RA2 builds. His bots are legit some of the cleanest looking IRL bots out there. The **** you say to me you little sh**

Robo: Probably one of the best users here, the way he builds has inspired me to become more creative with my bot building. Genuinely a cool guy and I dont even know if he remembers but we talked about our music tastes a while back and it was so cool to have someone to talk to and share my interests with.

Mazakari: His building style always just looks so nice. He dosnt make the cleanest bots nor the most complex but they just have so much charm and passion put into them and I respect him immensely. His building style kinda remind me of classic battlebots which is a really nice aesthetic.

Orc: Much like Maz he dosnt make the most complex bots but his builds are so creative and fun that it makes him distinct from everyone else. His passion and commitment to RA2 with Orc Wars and his builds is really inspiring and im glad I met him. He is also a fellow artist and he makes some really neat designs that I just love.

Billy: Again I actually love the passion he puts into the game and the fact that he can give a bunch of OW facts is actually crazy. Just an absolute lad.

Redalert: As much as people meme on him I actually kinda admire his passion for the game even if it goes to far. He says and does some really stupid things but I can at least respect him for trying to make bots for each meta.

Kix: The first member from GTM I met. Another absolute lad and I think when he does actually puts effort into bots he can make some clean stuff.

Bild: I actually got Bild into the game and helped him on Amino when he was first starting out and seeing how much hes improved is just awesome to see.

Plerco: Mr Funny man himself. I think me and him joined ruffly around the same time and hes mad some pretty cool and creative bots.

Mr.BK: One of the few GTM members I've actually met IRL. Cool guy to talk to generally.

Geese: Hes cool. _{Just did this so he dosnt ban me}

If your not on this list of people I've either forgotten about you or I hate you.
I dunno what the point of this was I just felt like giving love today since I wanna spread some nice vibes.
 
   

You forgot about me? Do you hate me?

Sorry who are you?

There's your answer

I'll give my thoughts now I guess.

A Big Wheel: Oh my... This is something
Aggressive Negotiations 2: I've always been a fan of the skin and bot as a whole. That said it might be screwed. I dunno
Babaulti 5.5: So this is what happened to Babaulti post-OW2
Bardiche: looks like the lovechild of WAR Hawk and Bite Force
Blue Bolt Beta: Eh, it's an overhead with little interest aesthetically. Whatever
Crossfire 2: Red on blue is kinda garish, but it looks solidly built
Darkrai: I always knew Slapshot was evil
Do a Barrel Roll: Ooh a multibot... flipper... No way this goes wrong
Gnaws the Gnomming: Gnaws has returned from the grave! Now it has to survive two verts. Don't fill the grave back in yet
Ineffable: Another quality build from Robo. I want to kill it.Nothing against the build, it's just in my way
Killerwhale Remix: Looks as unstable as always... Wait, aren't killer whales black and white?
Lol im a bigger fox: love it. love every bit of it.
Molerat: Interesting to see Badger in this. With a monsoon vert at that! It's fine
Nebula Rev. 2: Host is going to rig this to win smh
Nitro Wraith: We all know how I feel about typhoon drums
Roka 2: This feels like battle-hardened veteran by now. It'll probably get through it's heat at runner-up
Scary Monster: I don't remember seeing this in JoJo part 6...
Shadow Mk. V: Eh, Mediocre in looks and likely mediocre in battle
Shockwave: 
Springer: What the holy h*ll BK?
SRIII: It's an overhead. Don't we all love 4-typhoon overheads?
Super Blender: I feel nothing for this bot.
Terminating Cutter Gen III: Those wheels are already dead.
Two-Headed Snapping Turtle: That's a lot of extenders to mask the tiny weaponry... Compensating for something are we?

I should be able to take Snapping Turtle. With A little luck I'll kill Ineffable as well. SRIII will kill me outright.

Wow, 8bean's bot is woke

Check BK's masterpiece

anyone else want in? ive got 1 spot open in a grudge match and 6 spots open in the rumbles

I want to have a grudge match with Gangplank (as V1 already fought Veorra and Royalty in other tourney, and as a revenge on what happened back in DM2).

I'm down with exacting revenge.

Shockwave is in business.

It broke my opponents...

 

Trust me, the elimination was havoc from the hit that snapped the wheel pod

 

I honestly didn't know Cane Corso had a chassis

...and it broke my game

 

I like being in the floor

 

I also like being in the air

Jeez I can see the dust around here

 

Shockwave is here and totally unoriginal (like anything in RA2 is anymore)
Also yada yada it's cool or something And it's a little uneven (probably shouldn't have done a head-on shot but oh well).

Edit:

Best looking: Rooster
Most Interesting Design: Mega Pencilbox
Luckiest Bot: Mega Pencilbox
Unluckiest bot: Royalty (what can I say? format screwed it a bit, also I couldn't choose myself)
Best Fight: Veorra vs Royalty (Watching Royalty die is therapeutic, highly recommend it)
Biggest Plot Twist: A second, smaller compass after the first compass was completed.

Also, there are extender anchors that weigh 4 kgs. Try using those to save a little space

You're actually better off using a 10cm Square Aluminium Extender. It has the same shape and attachment points, but it only weighs 0.8kg, and since anything attached to the baseplate is invincible, the hit points really don't matter. I've found them very useful for shaving weight off older builds.

I keep forgetting about that lol

Make this extender a 10 cm. and not a 20 cm.?
  [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ]  

No, switch the baseplate anchors out for 10cm extenders to save a little weight and space on the inside of your robot.

I love the new colors on Ineffable. It gives the bot that extra pop and definition that white doesn't allow to show most of the time. Great work as always.

IRL popup is more like a weapon flipper

agreed.

I'd prefer if your "pop-up" was just a straight up flipper that uses extenders to make the flipper. Also, there are extender anchors that weigh 4 kgs. Try using those to save a little space and see if you can fit a VDMA in for the flipper. I'd say the battery power can be brought down to 2 blacks to help the weight. The shirts are generally frowned upon in IRL, so I'd suggest using the wedgelets in the weapons tab instead. Finally, please make your armor/skin more aesthetically pleasing. They aren't the most atrocious things in the world, but IRL is largely about looks.

what's the point, it's not going to get any grip on the ground ??? plus this is just a weird hs

this "wheel"-base also look fairly wide exposed to me. you should hit the enemy with that weapon, not your "wheels".

Okay, drum HS only need enough traction to actually accelerate. That’s it. The less traction, the more reliable the WS is, and the less prone it is to getting stuck.

I’m considering armoring hte wheels. Thanks for that.

Just use regular wheels and make it a HS with actual controlled movement

If I don’t want it to be a WS, yes. I can just modify the controls, and switch the drums to wheels.

Why would you want it the be a WS? Most LW HSes have longer reach than your robot and could kill it easily. Use actual wheels for the drive to save weight, switch the weapon to a flatmotor (it's found using cheatbot2, should be the second to last motor with cheatbot2 enabled), get rid of the beaters, as they don't help one bit. and switch the weapon to a long DSL bar. Bang, you have traction, more reach, and more weapon power iirc.
