Anyone made a HW Juggler in Stock? That would be awesome.

Fatal 2 looks a little... prototype-ish to me. Needs a more finished, solid look to it. Cool idea though.

I was thinking more along the lines of "fragile". :P


Moving the Z-teks further apart will definitely help.


Exhumer looks great though, nothing to complain about there except maybe lack of invertibility.

Yes, fragile is a better word.

Widened the spinners or FataL and made them spin upwards instead of downwards, now it works way better.



1 black, DSA and stuff. Wedges are very good and can get under Seism 16 but it has a small tendency of flipping over in hard collisons.



1 black, DSA, bunch of razors. Basically a MW Halftone, wedge is good and it works well, but HSes are a problem.

If the birds are static, then there's no way around that. Angling them upwards usually remedy that, but I'm not sure if the wedges will be just as good when you burst your motors.

Brigand looks cool, and HS's might be less of a problem for Garroter if you angle the front razors up and down like they are on the side hammer, so they protect the chassis better.  As it is now I bet HS's could sneak and hit that upper part of the chassis.

Won't these casters block wedges on Brigand ?

When the snapper arms flex, the casters won't be much of a hindrance.

Terramax 2, 795 kg, DSA, 2 blacks, 4WD

Better than the old one since it's way easier to drive, better wedges, and more weapons.

That looks very nice. I can't see any glaringly obvious problems with it.

Looks awesome, I like the look of the forward pointed juggers.

Besides the obvious T connector weakspot, looks pretty cool.

I don't know about that sage, looks pretty protected to me...

Well, it will either break when outwedged against a gut-ripper, more particularly popup (at which point it is screwed anyway) but i doubt that T is going to get hit before both discs are gone (at which point it is ALSO screwed anyway)

I reckon the T connector is well-protected enough to be a viable component in this instance. A rammer's not exactly going to get to it past the discs.

I bet Sarissa could... but yeah, it's safe from any ordinary rammer.


Wait... is that bot actually DSL realistic?  (aside from the undoubtedly stacked batteries)


In any case it looks at least mostly realistic.  Which is cool.  Also cool how unlike NWB it is.
