The change from Brutality to Brutality 2 was only internal. Brutality 3 is a complete rebuild.

I decided to change its name to Brutalization, and it can beat all bots in Starcore 3 except for :All SHW's, The Possessed Bee, Ultimate Spammer, Mome Rath.

Add some more popup spikes. You have the weight.

Robosh4rk:I will

3 things I forgot to mention
1.The snappers for the plows fire when I am stuck on the back part of the bot to get me back on my wheels

2.Do you guys like the skin?

3. 2 funny stories

1. Against a MW in the team "The Mafia" (I can't remember which), my spikes fell off, so (he had no wheels left) I backed up against him and fired the plows 3 times, and all three were hits that made the outside of the bot get zappy (when the control board was breaking.)

2. I beat tommy gun because I accidentely fired the snapper 2s in the air, the spikes got stuck in the drum, landing me on my wheels behind him, and flipping him.

Well, your efforts at trying to use the sledgehammers effectively are admirable.  Though there are more weight-efficient components you could use for that, like lawnmower blades or double sided ice picks.

Speaking of weight efficiency, if you made the chassis just a bit wider you could put 4WD in line in the back.  Just overlap the inner wheels in the outer motors with the axle loading glitch.  HW popups are 16 billion times better with 4WD.

I like the overall design though, with that clever self-righting system that doubles as a rear weapon.

To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.

Thanks
I might do that later, as I am working on bulking up the spikes.

I have a complete rebuild in the works with many changes, such as 4wd and lawnmower blades.

Brutality 2 is very nice for your first popup, especially for a middleweight.

But to be honest, I find Brutalization pretty... ugly. Not too bad, but not too cool-looking, too.

Naryar: It was originally supposed to be a MW, but I couldn't get it under 450 kgs, so I just added a bunch a junk to it.

Venko: The inside is exactly the same, and the only change was to mackes instead of Iron spikes on the plows, and the extra spikes.

After putting off starting the rebuild until now, I realized that Brutalization is as wide as a chassis can get in the game.
