Trimming some robot grease!

Heavy Is GPS
PROJECT LEAD
June 25, 2024

Removed from roster

  • Fatmagic
    • Not really an interesting bot or playstyle
  • Tonetech
    • Overshadowed by Elmaxo
  • Aero
    • Served no real purpose or counter to anything
  • Deflector MK II
    • Was just better HiGPS, which is not the direction I want to take when designing paid robots anymore.
  • Shredder
    • Didn't really offer any good utility. Damage piercing stat moved to Firewall
  • Hammerhead
    • Not a good design or fun to play against, as you had very limited options to deal if the scout was good
  • Archibolt
    • Merged in to Fly Charger
  • Mafia Bank
    • Not really good and overstepping the designs of other melee bots
  • Equalizor
    • Extremely good and easy to use, but didn't really work as a melee bot
  • Hype Scout
    • Wasn't hype enough, the playstyle doesn't fit well with how the robot dynamic works
  • Blastinator
    • Highly situational, doesn't add much else interesting that other knockback robots can't also do. Also a matter of how easy it is to do vs how hard it is to do, so this was not a good fit
  • Lazy Purple
    • Being a paid disruptor sentry buster was too good, overlapped playstyles with Elmaxo too much
  • Chat GPT Guardian
    • Didn't really offer anything useful and was just worse than Brainiac
  • Hacked Slasher
    • Overstepped the boundries of melee vs tank role, charge should not be on tanks
  • Pan Cop
    • Not that interesting playstyle, now that the bear heavy does the same without having to eat steak
  • Sensor Armstrong
    • Didn't really play well with the managing, uber on high health targets is not that fun to play against
  • Backup
    • Removed due to how robot scales in high numbers, being a tank, being able to add resistance to robots also stacking other buffs made mass soldier robots unbeatable
