Hey GTM users!
For anyone who doesn't know me, I'm The Barangoat, the guy behind BattleBots Reborn.
Last fall I held a 22-bot tournament, The BattleBots Reborn Cup, where I pitted my heavyweight recreations against each other for ultimate glory. Well, the tournament is back, and it's gonna be way better than last time. You won't even recognize it as the same thing!

You can see a lot of what's to come just in the trailer: 49 bots, with last year's field significantly upgraded. Better graphics. BattleBots-skinned Combat Zone. And much more!
This is me trying to get y'all hyped for the start, May 15. I will also be active on Reddit with bot previews starting March 27, one a day, until the premiere in May. I guess I can share them here too lol.
Any questions? I'm an open book, so feel free to comment here, find me on Reddit @TheBarangoat, Instagram @barangoal, and on YouTube at Coleslaw and the Barangoat. Until next time...
It's...ROBOT FIGHTING TIIIIIME!!!

Good to see you here again. It's easier to talk here than in the comments section of your videos ;)
Good luck with the tournament

It's time for the bot previews! One bot a day for the next 49 days. First up, Bender!
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/6054bender.jpg
-Builder: The Barangoat
-Career Record: 0-1
-Last Season Finish: First Round
-Offseason Upgrades: Longer blades
-Strengths: Weapon’s reach
-Weakness: Slow, No srimech, Vulnerable weapon
A poorly made Bender appeared in episode 18 of BattleBots Reborn. His only fight since was a frustrating defeat to frenZy in the opening round of the first season of the cup. After a bright start, Bender’s blade was chopped off by frenZy’s hammer. However, he survived the three minutes after frenZy’s hammer broke off before he could get the knockout. Although still slow, Bender’s longer blades will look to cause some upsets in this season.

well it certainly isn't the worst replica i've ever seen. you could almost definitely make the chassis smaller and make an attempt at skinning it, but the basic shape is there and you can tell what bot it is at a glance.

Looking forward to this, big fan of your videos. Just so you know, to have your image appear like this:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/6054bender.jpg)
Put [img] tags around the link. One of the options on the image host should do this for you.

Back with more previews!
So my original plan was a post a day on here and Reddit, but on Reddit I was advised not to spam new threads like that. A mod advised a once-a-week post, so since I'm doing that, I'll do it here too. Every Monday I'll post 7 bots. Should make everything easier.

Bender will soon be getting work done to him. I'm not the happiest with the body shape so I may do a full rebuild

Thank you for the support and the assistance! :smile: For now I'm using Imgur because it made posting to Reddit easier, but for here I may change it up next week.

Time for another 7 previews. Here are the Imgur links:

So after my girlfriend and I endured the sorrow events in the episode of 13 Reasons with Clay's tape, it hit me that I'm an unprepared dumbass who forgot it was Monday and time for another 7 bot previews. Better late than never, right?

I'm happy to see you're using my replicas. If there's a season 3, maybe I can help?

"If" there's a season 3...of course there will be! xD
If you mean in video production, I'll consider it, but at the moment I've found success with the current setup of things. Plus don't want anyone knowing results besides Cole, Sam and myself ;) But one thing I'll always accept is more fan creations. If you think a certain bot is bad (there's still many bad ones I've done lol) and you can make a better one, I'll definitely swap em out.
I see season 3 having more fan builds than builds of mine. Some of you guys (including you) make some gorgerous bots, stuff I could never do!
Thank you for your offer, I appreciate that so much. <3

Tazbot looks good, despite stock's limited component selection.
edit: Have you considered using Component Freedom to make your bots? I feel it'd help out a lot.

In love with that Tabot! And personally I haven't tried yet, I'm not sure if I even have the proper stuff downloaded to try it. But one sub named Doodle has been sending in a lot of his recent work and he uses CF incredibly well!

Hello GTM users! So it's Friday, and I know this should've been up a few days ago, but my Monday was spent in England. Our group went multiple places, then I followed that up with the Chelsea game, so time was limited to make a post. Then I thought "**** it, it's already late, just don it when you're back home."
Here are the FINAL SEVEN bot previews:
Vlad the Impaler: http://imgur.com/Ggxez6W

Warhead: http://imgur.com/OjlkfCL

Hope this has helped raise interest. The second season of the BattleBots Reborn Cup starts in TWO DAYS!! I promise that if its easier for anyone to view the videos on here, I'll share them just like I will on Facebook and Reddit.
So yeah. It's time yall. See you Monday for the premiere! :)
