Seeing as there was no Splinter thread, I thought I'd open one for Leo.
So, how's Splinter doing?

It got damaged well enough by TerrorHurtz and Kanoper. I am still intent on a rebuild but it will have to wait.
Does that mean scrapping the present Splinter, which has seen a bunch of combat in Robot Wars?
I used Splinter for over 2 seasons with only minor alterations. after so many battles and damage and bending it back into shape there is nothing left to scrap. It was its time. Some parts are now being used in other robots, both mine and from others.
So Splinter is retired? For good?
I remember Splinter from Debenham, some years ago now. Didn't know it went all continental and ended up overseas! Shame to see any bot retired but it comes to us all in the end I guess.
Yes that one is retired for good. there are only so many times you can bend 20-20-2 angle profile back in shape.
Well, until you make the rebuild, will you be entering Splinter into any fanfic competitions that fancy your eye?
Doesn't the current version of Obsidian have the same position of axe waiting tio be fired as Splinter?
BTW, Hope to see Splinter in action again some time in the future, looks a good robot

Yes it does, because that axe system was intended for the rebuild of Splinter originally. But when I took over Obsidian it was a Nitrogen powered axe, and the FRA wanted to get rid of all robots were not CO2 pneumatics so we killed 2 birds with one stone and united Obsidian with Splinters new axe system.Originally Posted by liambryant
I have always been fond of Splinter and if time and money allows I will have a new Splinter again. Only it will not be made up of angle iron and polycarb anymore, it needs to be a bit more beefy then it was then.BTW, Hope to see Splinter in action again some time in the future, looks a good robot
