Amazing bot Click. Sweet paintjob too.

Here's a loooooong overdue bot if there ever was one. But, better late than never!

Based on how good The Ultimate Sacrifice turned out, I'm surprised it took me this long to make a HW.

Stats are in the pic. Except for the batteries.... it actually has THREE (3) Supervolts, NOT TWO. I just noticed that mistake now. And it looks like four razors, but it's actually 8 stacked ones. 8 razors may not seem like a lot, but on a popup that's plenty.

It goes without saying that HS's don't stand a chance against Heroic Sacrifice. Not even HS's with caster-armored bellies, and not even SHW's. But I was surprised at how good it is against other types of bots. This thing has probably the best wedges out of any bot I've built. It just slides under almost any other wedge, including Rabid Pit Bull. The only bot in SC4 it has trouble with is Neglected Waterbug.

It's not invincible (tribars will occasionally hit in between the casters, especially on out-of-control spinners tumbling around) but it's close to it. I've never seen it get KO'd from the front.

AWESOME!

...Wait, i'm not supposed to promote caster armor...

Still, looks great.

:O

That might be one of the coolest bots I've seen. 8 Razors seems a little sparce in my opinion, perhaps try a different drive configuration and change the spike strips on the front wedges to blades. Then, you might be able to add a little more offense or side protection, though I have to admit I'm not entirely sure how you could do it.

I had experimented with a similar design a while back, I couldn't get it working right though. Nice job.

do u have the inside of drumblee 5?

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #54 on:** December 07, 2008, 02:55:16 PM »

This is actually only the second HW HS with tribars I've made. Ever. The first one was made several years ago and had a huge chassis with no stacking, plus it had axle flails, so it doesn't count as "generic HS". I like original bots (don't we all) so I've not made any generic HS's until now.

Thanks to Sage's advanced Snapper loading video for inspiring me to make this bot. I built it with only 2 20 cm extenders holding on the weapons, and the drive is attached directly to the rear attach point.

It's called New Look! Same Great Taste! because that's what it is... the same thing we've seen before, wrapped up in a different package. DSA, invertible, 2 supervolts, 4 HP Z-teks for weapons and 2 for drive. The only difference is that it uses razor tips instead of maces or iron spikes. I haven't seen that recently. 48 razor tips in fact, plus one extra in the front for ramming (I had 9 extra kgs).

I didn't post any battleshots because NLSGT is pretty much just as good as any other HS. It's a bit more maneuverable thanks to its wide wheel base, though that also makes the wheels prone to falling off when fighting other HS (they rarely get hit when fighting non-HS though).

That is pretty sweet. I love the skin. =P

Great name
Great bot

Classic Clickbeetle.

Very Nice, Compact, Deadly...

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #58 on:** December 07, 2008, 08:16:07 PM »

ehhhhhhhhhhhh. It looks very nice but I hate razors on HW HSerz.

I built something similar not too long ago, a little more compact but very similar.

Maybe I'll actually post it. Sometime...

you're welcome for the video. I haven't realize I've helped so many with it.
what you could do is use the three extenders differently so that all the razors are facing forward. Kinda like this:

should improve damage
