Idk if I'd want to enter a tourney where I have to use exotherm again, without improvements.

Otherwise it'd be fun.

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

Exotherm
Influenza
V'Ger
In the red Square.... Minion&#33;

Not bad actually for a first team, if I get to use the latest version of them that competed....

Yeah, any version of the bot entered in a tournament up through LoRE 2 could be used.

EDIT: Except bots that changed weight classes, since they are considered a different bot.

Well, that sucks. So I'll have the new War Bastard and Lethal Injection, but the considerably less good older versions of Bomb and Dreadnought.

As far as War Bastard, you can use either:

or

Since those are the officially entered versions.

So I get to use Shade Fist 3, WhipCoil 4.5, Sgt. Slaughter and the crappy 8-wheeled Thunder Ball.

Oh boy. I have one good robot in that team.

Also I think the SHW Thunderball is a bit better than you give it credit for, you did kind of give up on it in Armageddon :P

my new age tantrum aside, I am actually quite pleased with the team I have to settle with here...

LW: Ace and Spades
MW: The Thwacking Head
HW: Meatloaf
SHW: Vendetta

That is 3 tournament wins represented right there, The Thwacking Head winning during its debut, and an unchanged Vendetta winning the 2 tournaments that would follow. Yeah. And Ace and Spades and Meatloaf are there too.

Although Josh, I did produce a render of the second version of War Bastard- that was the green one. Would it be OK if I used that, since it's basically the same as the drawing other than the colour and stuff?

However, if there is enough interest for this to move forward, I'll consult with Chris (and probably whoever else would be helping staff) to make any official rulings on entrants. Until then nothing is 100% set in stone.

I love how the cat seems to notice a wheel suddenly appeared to the left of Marlon Brando's head&#33;
