Craaig - Unsurprisingly, coming from such a builder, it's quite random... is that a rammer ?

Well yes it is! :D And it's a nifty thing too ;)
And I know it's a HW in real life, I didn't think that really made a difference, the RA2 weightclass was LW, not the actual bots? Or that was my understanding/

No worries about it. Mine's just over the UK featherweight category in real life.

I purely entered this tourny for fun - im facing Dark Pounder with a 3mm Ali wedge ram bot in the first round - wonder how that will end :P
I was thinking of having a small spike slightly poking out the front of Hunter to do a bit of damage but the weight wouldnt let meh :P
Ahh well, least i may be able to go for most realistic or summin like tat  :gawe:
Damn I should probably put something fancy in this bit huh?

Yeah, yours is definitely one of the best looking I've seen, Wham. But there is a possiblity that you could slide under Dark Pounder's bar with Hunter's wedge, and push it around the arena. It looks low enough to the ground to do so.

So I'm up against Whirligig in Round 1? Right.
It depends on how fast Whirligig can get up to speed and if it can flip over and hit Purse's lid. From what I can see though, it looks a bit weak, so if I can flip it around enough to cause damage, I could possibly OOTA it or damage it enough to win.
 

You've got it right to an extent. It can't flip over (for some reason or another; I wish I knew how), and that weapon's a bit suspect. However, it does have 5 mm Alu (mainly for realism purposes, as Whirligig was made out of 6061 Aluminum), so it won't be that easy to strike down.

I think you might have a better chance than I do, depending on how powerful your flipper is.

OK then. It's not so much the armour I'll be going for, but it's more the external weapon pole I'll be going for. Hopefully I can flip it around enough to break the connectors.

Hkasa reminds me a little bit of Vector of Armageddon  :D

I think that I have good possibilities to beat Tentomushi.

Provided your bars hold out long enough and you can get round the side or back, there's a possibility. Last time I checked, Ziggo S don't have much HP.
