How long before freaking Lasers and Chain Saws?!
Yes I saw this the other day. And yes, I am so incredibly excited to get to live out all of my Mechwarrior fantasies…
I grew up playing the original. So awesome. Need to throw some Kaiju into the mix now.
Side note, Battlebots is back on the air if anyone remembers it from years back.
Never liked that show, the whole “I’m just going to build a pyramid that catapults the other robot” got old.
Needs more timberwolf…
The new tombstone bot is pretty sick.
What, no stone rhino?
This spinners are the most fun to watch, followed by the catapults, then the wedges a distant third. I see a lot of these bots moving faster than their drivers can control. I think a speed reduction would offer the drivers better performance.
One step closer to real life Robot Jox.
