Nice to see you building again, dude. Inside shots would be good. The MW looks odd from this pick.

ok

Alright so pretty much you're going to want to focus on one of the weapons, either the ramming part or the flipper. Just as a start. Y connectors and angle extenders aren't very good for mounting wepons. I also suggest you take a look around some other people's showcases to get the feel for what the level of building in stock is now a days.

it was a start /shrug
ive been browsing around a bit now and getting ideas again

Recently, some guy called Mr. AwesumSauce discovered how to stack Z-teks without external editors. You should check out his showcase; he is basically the standard in Stock building.
As for Jesuit y Toro, you should choose whether to make it a rammer or a flipper. Its your choice on which one, but here's what you should do in either situation.
If you are making Jesuit y Toro a rammer, then you have a few options in regards to weapons. Axe heads and 30cm pole spikes are pretty good, save for the fact that they are somewhat hampered by normals. The "big three" weapons in Stock, Razors, Irons, and Maces, might end up being better options. As for a weapon rack, you could either use a wider chassis and mount everything on a bunch of baseplate anchors or use a few BA's and some extenders.
If Jesuit y Toro is becoming a flipper, then this might not be the best idea. There is a very popular sub-type of flipper called a popup that is basically a hammer that hits the underside of the target bot. These popups have made flippers very outdated, non-damaging designs that are only seen in the plethora of DSL-IRL tournaments of the modern day. On the other hand, a flipper is not something seen every day in Stock building, and an unpredictable design could, if done right, guarantee victory while still within the rules. Although flippers aren't very good, so make it a popup. There are so many Stock popups out there that it isn't very funny.
I can't believe that I'm giving advice to a veteran. And I can't wait to see your next creation of madness, whatever it may be.

toast :D

It seems toAst is a bit... stale.

I see what you did there with the MW name. Nice.
For the ramming weapons, pointy tips aren't the best. I'd go for either razor tips or iron spikes.

o hi
Have the wedge face the other side, that way it'll actually be useful. Also, you should have a setup like 2 baseplate anchors ---> round extenders ---> weapons.
