Stats are on ZED, speciality I guess is the weapon power
Sorry, Liam, but Id say thats kinda overweight with all that weaponry and 5mm Hardox armour. Plus I dont think a kinetic weapon could power a vertical crusher properly, seeing as it would have to spin down if the crusher was coming down slowly, and thus the force applied would be less.
Please choose a different vapourbot. :)
Edit: Oops, misread it. Still, the weapon synergy is off, so ^

Eh, sorry. I did post it How Can I Improve though, and it was approved. Anyhoo, Forza instead, same specialty, stats nearby.:)
Forza is approved. :)
But just to say, it doesnt have 5mm hardox, and why would the crusher have to come down slowly?:proud:
Less speed, more force :P
Ah........ How come you didnt tell me that when you checked it? :proud:

Stats On ZED
Sorry, Ben. AJ, Liam, Daniel, and Danny reserved places before you.
Ok that is fine, but if you need anyone else, am I first in line?
Well see, Ben.
continuing...
Right, lets get this over with! said PMPY, and immediately the parties crashed together.
The soldiers were pitted against foes too powerful for them; NSBFR-X and Tengu showed no mercy with their spinning weapons. Soon broken soldiers littered the road, and only the Centurion, evidently shaken, remained.
Well, tough guy, now what? inquired Tengu with an air of contempt.
...by Jupiter... muttered the Centurion. Well, theres but one thing to do then, hmm?
Before Tengu could question what this thing was, suddenly the Centurion emitted a high-pitched sound not unlike a whistle. It rang clear over the city. And suddenly the groups attention was diverted to many things...soldiers. Running in from behind the Centurion. There must have been hundreds of them, and some of them were just as big as the Centurion himself, possibly other Centurions. The group were taken aback.
Uh...I dont like this, said Flick.
Well, Marcus Ignutus? asked one of the other Centurions to the leader. What have we here?
A mass of troublemakers, no doubt, snarled Marcus Ignutus. He turned to the group. You...you there. You may have gotten the better of us before hand, but this will be much different. You are severely outnumbered, and however strong you may be, you cannot take on all of us at the same time. Surrender yourselves this instant, or we will have to use force by any means necessary, to bring you in.
Ahh...any ideas, guys? asked Nitro-Gene.
I say we get away, now, said Tsunami.
I heard that! barked Marcus. Dont try and think of escaping! He was ready to call the attack.
What about this one? We have to keep her, or do we? said Clawdius. He gave Tira a nudge.
OW! Tira cried. Ill kill you for that!
Oh shut up! growled Clawdius. Well, Joey?
Well... Nidhogg seemed to be making a decision...
Decide quick, guys! said Die-Ceratops. I personally want to fight, but its your call: fight, run, or give up!

Danny - Im quite sure you did...
I checked, I havent.
I would enter, but thats kinda unfair on Ben, so yeah.
Let me go back through the thread, Im sure four other people reserved a place...well AJ did over MSN anyway, and Liam and Daniel already got their bots in.
Forgive me if Im wrong, though. :proud:

I would really appreciate people EXPERIENCED with making stats.Youre not that experienced yet, sorry Ben.
260 robots?
Crumbs.
Im with Frank. If we fight, theres a good chance at least one of us will be scrapped or grievously wounded. If we surrender, though, well most likely be taken before the leader and Im sure well be able to conduct a prison break if were locked up.
Come to think of it, Clawdius Roman pedigree might actually come in handy here... :proud:
Well, if Bens being excluded on account of him sucking, (J/K, no offence Ben,) Ill enter Leviathan
Shape: Think Behemoth, but a bit longer and lower, and with a curved back
Colour: Deep blue, with bubbles painted on here and there. On the front, Leviathan is written in black cursive script
Weight: 110kgs
Dimensions: 90x50x45
Speed: 15mph
Turning Circle: 0mm
Armour: 6mm Titanium everywhere but the scoop, which is 10mm Hardox.
Ground Clearance: 0mm at the front, because of the scoop, 0mm at the sides, because of the skirts, and 10m at the back and under the skirts.
Movement: Four S28-150 Magmotors with four 24V NiCad Battlepacks, driving titanium tank tranks with Vulkalon on every other link.
Weapons
Weapons: A Hardox scoop. The entire top of the robot lifts up, as well as the scoop, like Behemoth, except it opens further. Its powered by 2 2.5KG CO2 canisters and double 80mm full pressure rams at 900psi, and should be able to flip around 1000kgs, and toss 300kg.
Scrimech: Flipper if it lands on the top, rounded back, and it has the same self-righty extension thingies Behemoth has, should it land on its side
Speciality: Uhh, Flipping things bloody high?
I havent been excluded, its just full
Come to think of it, Steve has a valid point. Maybe we should just give ourselves up.
Of course, me being me, Ill act as though I want to fight.
yo brothers, how does this sound?
half of the group runs, and the other half gives up, that way he have 2 groups in potentially tactical potitions, and the half that ran can help the half that gave up in breaking out
continuing...
Well, Joey? Dont keep us in suspense! said PMPY.
...I think we should give up, said Nidhogg at last.
The group seemed to thinking the exact same thing...that is, until...
GAH!
It was Clawdius. Tira had pulled free at last and was making a path for freedom.
Oh damn! Stop her! cried Clawdius, as the soldier bots closed in.
On it! said Nitro-Gene and he sped after the spinner with wrath. Die-Ceratops, PMPY, Flick, and Taki were able to go after him, but as Tsunami followed, the ranks of soldiers finally and completely enclosed them. There was no escape.
You will come with us, now, ordered the Centurion, and Clawdius resigned himself for the worst...
----
Damn it! We lost her! cried out Taki in frustration. It had been an hour since they had run from the company.
And all for nothing, it seems, muttered Flick.
I say we go back and break the others out, right now. Who cares about some freaky little bit-
Shes not herself, how can you blame it all on her? argued the ninjabot. Die-Ceratops growled, but made no further inquiries about the loss of Tira.
I have to agree with Chris, said Flick. Tira isnt on our priorities list right now, we have to go back to rescue the others.
But we were assigned to - Now Nitro-Gene started to argue, but Flick silenced him.
Im pretty sure you were assigned to assist us, ultimately. And right now theres nothing more important than getting our friends the hell out of wherever it is theyre being taken. Once we get them back, well seriously mess up their place, and resume our hunt for Tira, probably. So cool down, all right?
Yeah, all right... muttered the blue machine.
All right, so what do we do? How will we break them out? PMPV asked the obvious question.
Flick was about to answer, but then paused for a second. Something was amiss, and he knew it.
Someones coming, hide! he hissed, and they bolted behind some shrubbery some twenty feet away.
And sure enough, a minute later, two robots came out of the nearby forest. If Flick had eyebrows, they would have been raised as these two robots were very similar in shape...yet not so in size. One of them was small, compact in size, a wedge with a rear inverted one, and the other was the exact same shape, yet was twice as large and wielded a heavy hammer. They had moustache ornaments on their wedges and viking hats on top.
The...hell...? guffawed Die-Ceratops. Obviously the wrong thing to do.
By Toutatis! Were being watched by those Roman dogs again, Obelix! said the smaller robot, and turned to face the shrubbery. Will they never learn?
Romans again, Asterix? Dunno why they keep pestering us, they only just get hurt, said Obelix, the bigger one.
Asterix sighed. Well lets teach them another lesson.
Oh crud! Uh... Die-Ceratops somehow looked sheepish. What now?
First off, you keep your trap shut, snapped Flick. Second...I dunno.
They dont pose that much of a problem... said Nitro-Gene.
Looks can be deceiving, young one, said Taki. Be on your guard!

Theres something strange about Asterix and Obelix other than their appearance...a slightly golden aura emanates from them, making them stronger. Whats it gonna be: fight, or try to explain?
And oh yeah, Clawdius had all the items and gold, so youll have to do without them, you four. :proud:
I say we try to explain.
I mean, think about it. Im bright green and I look like a dinosaur. How does that suggest Roman?
(Message edited by Dinowarrior on August 23, 2008)
bright green Roman dinosaur?
Time warp?
welcome back joey
continuing...
Clawdius wasnt too happy.
Will you PLEASE stop blaming yourself? snapped Tengu.
Well how would you feel if you led your party in this mess? the crusher retorted.
It doesnt help the situation yknow, Steve, said NSBFR-X.
True... Clawdius sighed.
They were being led down a dark cavernous tunnel by the company of Roman robots, of which contained rows upon rows of cells, in their turn housing barely functioning robots, or dead robots with rusting or rotten internals. Tsunami shuddered violently as they passed.
In with you, said Marcus Ignutus, gesturing to an open cell to their right.
You know, we could probably break down those bars, you old fool, Tengu scoffed, as the five robots entered the small, musty cell.
Not these thick steel bars you wont, sneered Marcus; the bars slammed shut and clicked. I will return for questioning. He yelled to the other soldiers and exited, leaving the five in a state of mild panic.
It did not last long, though, as there came a static type of breathing from behind the group. Whipping around, they saw another robot. It was nearly rotted alive. Its previously shiny blue paint was dulled to a dull grey, and the horizontal spinning blade had rusted and looked ready to fall off.
Who...what are you? asked Clawdius.
The robot did not respond.
Good thing I managed to sneak this in, said Clawdius, putting forth a Tool Kit (the chief Centurion had taken their other items and gold).
Hey! Steve, we might need that! barked Nidhogg, speaking for the first since they entered.
I think we should get some answers from this poor soul, said Clawdius. But he doesnt seem to be in the right state to tell us anything.
I agree, muttered Tsunami.
Well I say we should get out of here, right now said Tengu, spinning up its blades, and striking the bars.
CRASH!!!
The steel bars did not give at all, and Tengu was sent back into a corner.
Okay, maybe I can panic a little... groaned Tengu.
Right...should we help that robot, or keep one of us alive? said NSBFR-X.

Uh...tell MEchavore that if he doesnt fit any bloody self righters were not helping him :proud:
On a serious not, I go along with the majority with a view to getting out of the cell early to minimise damage.
What are the walls made of? If its brick its probably easier to destroy than the bars...
Otherwise I suppose we should help mechavore
Yeah the walls arent really as strong as the bars, but they are thicker, much much thicker; however you could get a great deal of info out of the broken robot.
I vote to help Mechavore. One tool kit wouldnt really help the five of us anyway.

Team 1
STOP! Were not Romans! cried Die-Ceratops, extricating himself from the bush.
By Toutatis, its a giant...dinosaur? exclaimed Asterix. We can feed our entire village with it, Obelix! Lets get it!
Wait, WHAT?! Die-Ceratops was now seriously frightened, and as the gauls descended upon him, he screamed to the others. Flick appeared next.
Hey Asterix, who is that? said Obelix, his hammer half-way to Die-Ceratops wheel.
That is Flick of the Wrist, Mr. Gaul, said Flick. And thats my friend youre about to demolish...
Asterix looked at Die-Ceratops for a second, who let out a nervous chuckle, then backed off.
But you are not Romans, so who may you be, exactly? inquired Asterix.
Travellers, grunted Taki, who appeared next. We come in search of something.
And that something we need to restore someones identity, PMPY said, followed by Nitro-Gene. Kinda a drag, but I guess wed be a little worse off if we didnt do this.
Ah, Asterix paused, as though he was thinking. First tell me and Obelix how you got here -
And then you can tell us if you have any roast boar, Obelix added, the moustache ornament twitching.
Not now, Obelix, snapped Asterix.
Dude named Kody, said his refbot had its identity taken, guy that did it plans to do it to other robots, sent us here to get titanium gears, said Flick. Yeah, now you know, heh heh -
Did you say gear? interrupted Asterix. We may have something like that in our village.
Yes, but we were told by an innkeeper that we should go to Lutetia first, said you gauls were dangerous, said Die-Ceratops. And I dont doubt it, he muttered in an undertone.
Dangerous! cried Asterix. Of course we are dangerous, but that does not mean we attack without need, dinosaur! ...though you did look quite edible, he added lamely.
Die-Ceratops growled at this, but before he could retort, PMPY took charge.
You said you may have a gear? he said. Err...
Oh yes, the great gaul chief Vercingetorix wears it, said Obelix. He is our mighty leader.
Obelix, said Asterix turning to his friend. Please, let me do the talking.
Aw, but -
Obelix! Please. Thanks, Asterix turned back to the party. If you wish, you may come back to the village with us, or you can return to Lutetia to, err...stock up on whatever you need.
Were...broke, since our encounter with the Romans, said Nitro-Gene grimly.
WHAT?! Asterix yelped. You met those bumbling Romans?!
Indeed, and they have taken five of our friends, and another friend of ours escaped, but we mean to keep up with her, Taki growled.
And we met them IN Lutetia, so I dont think itd be wise to go back there, said PMPY.
Hmm... Asterix seemed to be deciding on something. Finally he said: All right, you will come back with us to our village, and talk to our chief. If he is willing, he will give you your token, which is the gear, I believe. If not, you may have to challenge him for it. Asterix laughed suddenly, making the party jump. But our chief is strong, he does not lose easily. But if you wish, first... Asterix drew out a golden amulet. This is worth 7500 gold, so if you wish to brave Lutetia again first, you may get whatever you need.
Well, guys, what do you think? said Die-Ceratops.
I say this gaul trusts a bit much, laughed Taki.
Taki! cried Nitro-Gene. Were not enemies! Of course hell trust us...uh, right? he pleaded.
Well maybe not you now that your opened your trap, spat Die-Ceratops, but Asterix laughed again.
We know about malicious beings, dont worry! So what will you do, my friends, for so I call you? he asked.
How about this? Taki said. Ill go into the village, and bring back some supplies, while you go with the gauls. Im quite quick, and stealthy. You should know that, she added with a chuckle.
Well guys? said Flick. Decide on it.

Lets help the poor thing, said NSBFR-X. I mean, we cant use it amongst us.
Nidhogg grumbled, but then said: Oh all right. But if he doesnt get any decent srimechs, hes toast.
NSBFR-X grunted in response to this, as Clawdius administered the Tool Kit to the broken robot. As suddenly as though a flash of light had illuminated the cavern, Mechavore was renewed and ready for action...whatever action there could be in this dingy cell.
Why did you do that? cried Mechavore, and the party were surprised to hear a female voice echoing through the cavern. It was all over for me, whyd you save me?
Because we hoped that you could tell us something, said Clawdius. And arent you male?
No, my team gave me a female gender, or so that Battlebots mag said, said Mechavore.
Nidhogg wasnt too happy, though. Well, any bright ideas guys?
Lets try the walls instead, said Tengu, and smashed into one. There was no big CRASH, however a large chunk had been taken out of the thick wall. Mechavore was surprised by this.
Howd you do that? she asked weakly. Ive tried to smash pretty much every damn thing in sight trying to break out, but I couldnt do that!
I deal out thousands of joules per blow, Tengu replied smugly. The bars seem to withstand it, but these walls - - Tengu gestured to the chunk taken out of the wall - - dont.
So...we might get out of here after all? Tsunami asked.
It certainly seems so, said Clawdius, for the cell next to us is open. Try again, Alex!
With pleasure, growled the full-body spinner as it slammed into the area where the chunk had been taken out. This time only a mere gash had been struck through. Mechavore however decided to help out as well, and spinning up her blade she struck the newly-created gash. This time another chunk, yet smaller came out.
Blimey, said Nidhogg, as though he would never have thought of this. Its working.
I love how you keep doubting me, Joey, Tengu snarled as he struck again. This time, a hole could be seen on the other side, which Mechavore immediately cleaved into.
I dont doubt you, I just doubt the method, Nidhogg snapped back.
I cant believe it, Im actually tearing the walls up, Mechavore muttered.
You couldnt before? said NSBFR-X, as Tengu roared in on the widening hole again.
Nope. I guess I was already at low health when they threw me in here, replied Mechavore, moving in and smacking the now large opening.
Will you join us, though? said NSBFR-X. Were trying to reclaim someones identity and return it to them.
Thats kinda freaky, said Mechavore. But sure, Ive nothing better to do.
I can get through, guys! Tengu called, now on the other side.
But, uh, we cant, called Clawdius, his beak too tall to get through, even when clamped down.
Fine, Ill try opening the cell from the other side, thats where the lock is, said Tengu, tackling the open door of the next cell and spinning up to attack their cell door.
Oi! Whats all that crashing I hear? Keep it down over there! snarled a voice.
Oh crud, theyve heard us, muttered Tengu.
Never mind, just keep at it! shouted NSBFR-X.
Tengu smashed against the bars repeatedly, each time with a resounding CRASH! Whether it was because the way the door opened, or because the armour of the bars was less on Tengus side, the bars gave way after several blows, just as a guard popped in.
OI! GET BACK IN YOUR CELL! screamed the guard, just as the cell opened and the party started to escape. Tengu turned her attention to approaching guard, who suddenly stopped in his tracks as he caught sight of the emerging prisoners. As he made to turn back and call the others, Tengu smote him aside with one blow, annihilating him.
Neat work, Alex, said NSBFR-X. You look tired, though.
Never mind me, just get the hell out of here, Ill follow, Tengu panted.
What about the prisoners? said Mechavore. Surely you didnt only intend to save little ol me?
And sure enough, there was a hub-bub of voices from the cells, as some prisoners came to the door of the cell.
HEY! LET ME OUT! PLEASE! IVE BEEN HERE FOR OVER 2 WEEKS! cried a frail voice from the back.
Err, should we just yet? said Clawdius. We really should take out the Romans first, otherwise we could get them killed.
But they could help us, said Tsunami.
Not in the condition they appear to be in, and Im out of Tool Kits, smirked Clawdius.
They could die, and I dont want that to happen! said Mechavore.
Meh, muttered Nidhogg.
So whats the plan, guys? Find out where the Romans are and attack, or free this lot? said NSBFR-X.

What something is that Martijn?
I have an idea. Maybe we could split up. Two of us can go with the Gauls, the remaining two could go with Taki.
Ill go with the Gauls either way. I might be able to deal with the Master if need be.
