yeah i need some more grinding discs (and cutting discs while im at it) shuold be rust free by rfrc next week

[NFX]

Featherweight looks schweet. =D I actually like the rusty, industrial look. Much as I liked Vertigo's new wedge for Annihilation before he painted it.

[GoldenFox93]

Two WINNARS for the price of one! A great-looking featherweight, and Grim Reaper returning!  =D

[haz]

yep got some drills ready and waiting for it

[GoldenFox93]

Glad to hear it  =P

So that's another old RW favourite returning to the Live Circuit- I wonder who we'll get next?

[smashysmashy]

Grim Reaper looked like a boss in RW series 7. Shame he didn't OOTA anyone. Why was he so bad at finishing people off, anyone know?

So if Phoenix and DoorStop's plows rust you will like them more?

How competitive is a 8 (?) year old bot in today's competitions? I've seen 4 year old US robots try to make a comeback and fail miserably.

More if you painted them in a rust effect. =P

Surprisingly, actually- just ask Behemoth  =D

I <3 Behemoth :D

[NFX]

Behemoth is pretty good. The thing is, older designs with modern technology is one thing, older designs with older technology are going to completely fail. I remember looking around the RR website, and the fifth version of Behemoth cost between 8 and 10 grand.

Yeah, but Mortis had about three yards of ground clearance. If they'd bothered to sort that out and practiced their driving a bit, I'm sure they'd have done very well.

They did add skirts with the extra weight provided in Battlebots, and actually reached the last 16, only losing out to Nightmare.

Gotta admit, they didn't use their money wisely, did they?

I think that's what did it for Chaos 2- not to say it failed, but by the Sixth Series, age had caught up with it, unfortunately.

Arbitrary well done.
 
Chaos 2 did suffer by not moving with the field, it was kinda rooted to its championship era, and ultimately became outdated. Same as 101, Hypno-Disc and a lot of the older Robot Wars guard. Razer and Tornado seemed to avoid this, though. As has Behemoth, evidently.
