Glad he got a new life lol. I'd probably leave it rusty if it weren't for the fact it weakens it.

I like the foam bits flying everywhere off The Rake's wheels against Szalor. And Entropy's drum bouncing around the arena.

I think he is trying to interpret a dying breed of robots into each of his designs, Good Job!

Shufflers (this is not actually a true walker, but a shuffler, like the original Son of Whyachi) get a slight weight bonus, so he is able to use a bigger blade. This ain't no dying breed here... I expect that this Szalor is going to be a monstrously powerful AW.
