Twilight scream will win due to over powered, cheapy, ghey, hworf blades.

IMO, all replica parts should have been removed from the competition.

(excluding the Judge Burst)

360: Hoping to do well. And to all you nay-sayers, yes, it CAN self-right. =D
Your Final Croak: Looks okay to me. Could do well if it remains stable.
Twilight Scream: Very nice looking machine. Lack of invertibility could hurt it, though, but it should do alright.
Patriotism 2: Looks okay. Chassis's a little exposed for my liking, though.
Scope: Nit a bad looking flipper, if a little flimsy. Will be interesting to see how this fares.
Slasher: Looks very nice. Could tear up quite a few opponents. One to keep your eye on, in my view.
Forget About It: Rammer? Not too sure how it'll fare. PA skirts as stabilisers look a bit too flimsy for IRL to me.
Misinformed: Looks excellent, could do very well. Provided it doesn't become unbalanced with that short stance.
Spawn of PA: Fantastic aesthetic appearance, probably won't do that well in a fight, but who cares.

Scar Spangled Banner: Nice name. Not sure how powerful it'll be, I'm not certain about this one, unfortunately.
Bully: Could stand a chance of going very far, provided it doesn't have a repeat of last time.
Drumbledore: Again, very nice looking bot. Should fare well here again, I'm predicting the semis.
No More Mister Nice Guy: Front wedges are still a bit dubious, but we saw its potency last season. I'm looking forward to our rematch, let's hope I can turn the tables.
Ironside Mk IV: Probably the best looking LW here. Could go very far indeed, hopefully it'll make the final this time. I hope it does.
Stampede: Some kind of pusher? It's a pretty good idea, it'll be interesting to see if it works.
Hammer Metal: Bad DSL.

But guys... my Bot is powered by this RAD look-a-like motor and has 2 Ants.

ty4er · « **Reply #26 on:** December 11, 2011, 09:22:21 AM »

2 ants is underpowering it by a lot.

And it can't move fast at all

cephalopod · « **Reply #27 on:** December 11, 2011, 09:34:14 AM »

Hopefully Scope should do okay.. it's pretty exposed yes but it's got a nice IRL look. Hopefully that burst can really fire things around :')

Good to see that Ironside MK IV is getting a warm welcome back :D.

Here's my thoughts...

360: Looks great, like a proper IRL bot, sadly can't see it going far though.

Your Final Croak: Nice looking but does the waepons have the reach to do decent damage?

Twilight Scream: I like the look of it, but with the motor attached with Polycarb, it could be fragile.

Patriotism 2: Good looking but unsure of the damage potential.

Scope: Unsure abut the flipper. Could get a win...

Slasher: Probally will do a great deal of damage, could very well win.

Forget About It: Can't really see what type of bot this is. Dunno about the chances.

Misinformed: Love the look of it. Can't see it doing well unfortunatly. Maybe one win.

Spawn of PA: Great looking but can't see it winning.

Scar Spangled Banner: Another good looking bot, but the flipper looks weak and with no armour, it won't do well.

Bully: A returnee from BB4, could very well win.

Drumbledore: The bot that beat Ironside MK IV in BB4, don't want to face it again.

No More Mister Nice Guy: I really like the look of it. Could win one or two.

Ironside Mk IV: My bot, hope it goes into the final this time.

Stampede: Unsure what to make of Stampede as i'm confused about the weapon. Hope I beat it though :P

Hammer Metal: All depends on if the motor drive is any good, probally won't win.

As the builder, I can accurately tell you that... no, no they don't

yah I don't really care about SSC. I felt like making something that did actually look vaguely like a real bot rather than this new wave of "IRL" which is IMO still too effeciency focused.

Twilight Scream is my fave.

thanks! :D

anyway, TS uses Hworf blades, not DSL bars. And that Mag is attached to titanium, not Polycarb.

madman3 · « **Reply #32 on:** December 11, 2011, 10:44:39 AM »

Hang on, why is Scar Spangled Banner even in the LW bracket? It's a MW.

(Yeah, thought there was something wrong with a Large JX and NPCs in a LW :P)

D:

I must have thought it turned MW when I put in the SZ. I can fix it easily, though. PR gets your spot, and you take R080's.

It's my dad's birthday today, and we've been doing things, but the other splashes and brackets will be up today or tomorrow.
