Ugh. XP

So. Teams... I'm not sure what to do after Lian and Badnik have their tourneys going. I discussed with Lian about team themes, and what I might go with, but there are some other things I've been thinking of. Like, I like making new concepts but I kind of want to give older bots (such as Fulcrum) another shot. So I kinda want input. Which of my bots would you like to see again/not like to see again?

Team theme ideas:

- a fembot team (BlackRose, Jinx (or Luna), Cutie Honey, Teresa)

- a cluster team (a new LW concept called Double Tap, Anger Denial Acceptance, a HW cluster I have on FRA, and a showbot cluster for SHW named after a The Alan Parsons Project song :P )

- a rock/metal themed team (Double Tap, a revamped Ultraviolence (since Bat Country would be a bad idea :P ), Shadow Zone Forever, and Creeping Death)

- a horizontal spinner team (Troubloon, Luna, a revamped Heliosphere, and Tax Cutter)

- a flipper team (a different LW concept, an FRA middleweight that needs revamping, Wedginator, and either Fulcrum or PA:EC)

All of them are very tempting...

Huh... and here I was thinking of Ultraviolence more as a Doom reference. Ah well.

On subject, I've always had a soft spot for flippers (from the guy that shamelessly brings you ToC), so I might lean that way. And I thought Parental Advisory was an interesting concept anyway.

I should go 3-1 this week but it'll probably be something like 0-4 or 0-5.

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

Awesome. :) I've thought of tweaking PA:EC maybe a bit, less height perhaps, but largely keeping him the same. He definitely needs more armour if he's going to keep up though. And Wedginator does need more CFL-time, but then I'll have three heavyweight flippers, hehe. (Wedginator, SZF, and Cutie Honey)

Yeah, Ultraviolence is from this, and you probably won't like it :P

No definetly not. :v:

But then I should almost follow suit with a team of undercutters! Robotnik, Green Hornet, and Ocelot are ready to go, I just need a SHW undercutter to join them. :D

The cluster team would be a great way to fuck with people's minds. That or just give them a laugh. Especially my SHW one. :v:

At least my Undercutter team would have the added bonus of pissing GF off. :v:

Leaning towards the flipper or the fembot teams...

I have a feeling that if I redesign Fulcrum though he's going to look too much like Phantasmic Slammer. ><

Looks like I'm undecided, seeing as the MW flipper is also going to be a fembot. And an annoying one at that. :P There's a preview of it on my render thread.

It's really odd using another rendering program...

Could be worse, I'm planning on a clusterbot... The Klessirpemdo (That's how you spell it right, Kody?) Each part has a name. Elua, Lupi, Heal-Do and Aege. Also Kamikirimusi could finally make her long await debut. Watch this space...

Don't worry, the cluster's are gonna be in different colours, so you can refer to them by that. And for Kamikirimusi, just call her Kami :D

Going with the flipperbot team. The question? SHW.

Lian wants Fulcrum to return, Josh wants Parental Advisory: Explicit Content to return. Or so I assume. I want to give Fulcrum another chance, real bad. But PA:EC is a rather unique-ish bot... well, from me, anyway.

Fulcrum or PA:EC? =/

I think PA got entered in a tough tournament, so it would be interesting to see what he could do now.

I guess it comes down to which you would enjoy using more.

Well... I suppose I can decide when the next FRR or Ruination comes about. I just have everything decided except for SHW and I would've liked to have everything ready. Ah well. =/

Right, I have come to conclusion, that Hammer & Nailz needs a redesign. I currently have 2 plans laid out for it.

Plan 1

It will have a new shape, will go back to tracks, which the original had. It will have a parallelogram shape with the entire middle part of the wedges and the chassis removed for the crazy hammer idea. The idea was to have a hammer that could work inverted and cause a shit load of damage. Would of course be invertible

Plan 2

A hammer design to kill the fuck out of spinners, based/ripped off of Tomahawk in it's post RW guise

Basically this

But I will have a shitload of problems attempting to draw this XD
