Author Topic: I BOUGHT SUPERNOVA!!!! (Read 6935 times)

Resetti's Replicas · « **on:** March 31, 2012, 08:20:03 PM »

Got some exciting news. I've been holding out on talking about this because I didn't want to jinx it, but now it's finally here! A while back Suren Balendran, captain of Supernova, was looking to sell his bot. Apparently it's been inactive for years now because there aren't any more arenas that will allow huge spinners like that. I got to thinking, what would really make me happy for my birthday. And then I got to thinking some more - I've never actually seen a heavyweight robot in real life. His price was very reasonable, compared to the cost of the antweight. I'm sorry for not telling any of you about this, but I didn't want to bid a fortune to win. So anyways, it arrived yesterday (DHL took quite a while), and I've been keeping Supernova in the garage. I'm working on restoring, not sure if I'll enter any competitions, she's such a pretty little thing, I don't know if I can bear to have it even scratched up. It looks pretty good considering that it got knocked around by Storm 2 in its final fight. So yeah I'll take good care of it, it'll be more of a collector's item than an actual fighter but I'd definitely love to at least get it up and running again.

EDIT: Photo for naysayers. We don't have any outside Robt Wars photos for Supernova; I didn't get this from Google Images so don't bother asking. Tell me some specific photo to take if you don't believe me. For now, here's this:

I totally fell for that, but i'll congratulate you anyways, just in case you actually did buy him.

You flatter me. I know what you're implying but I have no idea how one would get that kind of finish on the blue parts.

Lol no it's not an antweight, I just shrunk the picture for your convenience. Here's another photo I took but didn't bother shrinking, to give you a sense of the real thing:

Wow, nice find Sonny.

Let's see a video of it shredding something up, perhaps a cardboard box.

Nice one bro. How much did it cost? Hope it wasn't too expensive. Post a video of it destroying something?

GameKing3 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 03, 2012, 05:30:45 AM »

It took me a minute but my tiny little brain figured it out. What you think is super nova is actually the box from sonny's new microwave. Congrats on the new microwave. Is it a daewoo?
