ARC: Armageddon Discussion

Well, let's see how it does anyway. I guess you could consider it my "showbot" addition to ARC, as it is an exact copy...

I'm not quite done with the stats yet (or the description, or the specifications, and there's still a bit of tweaking I'd like to make to the picture...heh ;P) but my lightweight part of Team FRA should look a lot like this:

A few notes:

~ The weapons are interchangable (it's pictured with the lawnmower blade setup as I can't draw round things in perspective properly, so that was the easiest option) and include a conventional two toothed disc, a circular saw, a chainsaw, and removing the weapons altogether in order to add extra armour all around.
~ I haven't decided yet which end is the front or the back ;P
~ The things on the wedge are tyre cutting blades, facing backwards and designed to give other rammers/pushers a bit of a harder time, and the striped panel on the side is a cover for the on/off switch and petrol engine killswitch.
~ I am NEVER doing multiple views of robots in Paint again, ever, as it was incredibly frustrating to get this to look vaguely correct and I'm still not 100% happy with some of the proportions.
~ The JPEG artifacts won't be on the final pictures, I only realised now that Photobucket converts the file format automatically from bitmap...grr...will use TIFF on the next ones.

Any thoughts?

It looks very nice, Joey. I like it.

For one it's a shitload better than Broken wings

For two, I REALLY love the design

I thought Chameleon was a much better MW entry tha WhipCoil...

too many armored wedgebots for Chameleon to do well.

It never competed on GTM, was meant to (in TX's tourney) but that never started.

I need to be confident if i wanna take home the MW crown, the HW will be funny as hell, and the Servant has a title chance, which will only happen if i beat Shatterpoint

lewis · Post by **lewis** » Sun Dec 26, 2010 7:53 am

Where is The Servant's flipper? After a season of it competing I still don't know -.-

prince palatine · Post by **prince palatine** » Sun Dec 26, 2010 7:56 am

the 2 parralel lines on the top to the white bit at the bottom is the flipper

That should clear it

If your having trouble with the HW, im willing to loan a bot to you

lewis · Post by **lewis** » Sun Dec 26, 2010 8:39 am

Thanks for the offer Lian, but my heavyweight's coming along fine :)

And Joey, wow! I wish I could do paint images like that, amazing fp! ><

prince palatine · Post by **prince palatine** » Sun Dec 26, 2010 8:42 am

Ok

Im interested what your HW is gonna be

I can see you finishing strongly this season, HeH looks like a title contender, would like to have a rematch to see if the Servant would ever beat it
