WHERES THE WEDGE? INFAMOUS SCOTBOT VANISHES!
Report by Ivor Thritis

Yesterday, MI5 began an investigation into the mysterious disappearance of well-known vapourbot Wedge Devolution which took place on Valentines Day this week. Eet eez vital that we locate Monsiour Devolution as soon as possiblÂ¨ before anozzer bot theft epidemeec starts up again Chief Inspector Clouseau told reporters. In ze meantime, ozzer roboteeeers must remain vigilant in case of a reoccurance.
Many of the roboteering community have been on-edge since February 14th, when Mr Devolution was abducted from the toolshed of his owner Steven McGregors Glasgow estate in the middle of the night. With only a little spilt oil and a hole in the shed roof being the only clues as to the disappearance, Scotland Yard remains baffled as to what fate could have befallen the vapourbot, now near the end of its first year of active service.
Mr McGregor was unavailable for comment, but his butlerbot told us that if we didnt leave, hed crush us like a Featherweight in a printing press...so, thats just about all we have...

1. ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
I am looking for six people to enter one vapourbot apiece - and themselves - to aid in tracking down Mr Devo.

HOWEVER, theres a certain twist as to how this twisted tale works out. When your human selves enter a combat situation, you will automatically transform into your selected vapour, so choose who represents you wisely. Consider this Transformers for a new generation.

2. STATS LAYOUT
HUMAN:
NAME: yer real one, if you please

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: eyes, size, hair colour/do, accent etc
ATTIRE: essentially, your chosen clothing. No nudity option available.
PERSONALITY: your psychological nature, which will affect how you respond to different situations

ROBOT FORM:
NAME: the name of yer vapour
BODY SHAPE: appearance of bot. Paintjob and ground clearance can be included here also
MOVEMENT: your method of locomotion. Wheels, tracks, shafts, legs etc and how many
ARMOURING: material only. No need for thickness here
WEAPONRY: your WMD. Normal FRA rules apply here
SRIMECH: your method of self-righting (if any)
STATISTICS: please rate the following out of 10 stars. You have a total of 25 points to spend overall (minimum of one per stat):
- Weapon Power
- Speed
- Manoueverability
- Defense (the toughness of your armouring)
- Traction
- Driving Skill (how well your aim is in mechanical form)

Also, no passive bots, no flyers, no clusterbots unless you fancy slicing yourself in two, but pretty much anything else goes

. Id like all the entries to be as varied as possible - oh, and DO try to keep your robots in the realms of reality, please

**steven_mcg** · 18th February 2005, 13:14

And thats really it. All entries are accepted as of now, so good luck to all
