Rendered Robots

Since my 3D modelling experience is quite lacking, I wouldn't mind anybody rendering some of my robots :).

If I've got some time, perhaps I might consider doing a render of Rocket Knight to start with. Considering I'm a bit of a Rocket Knight Adventures fan anyway, it could be something quite fun to do.

And here it is! Whilst I wouldn't consider it perfect, I think it came out quite nicely all things considered. I decided to go with a blue colour scheme to match Sparkster's armour, and whilst I couldn't do the Swords on the sides this time around, I'll see if I can draw them and then add them accordingly for a later version.

I made a few little improvements here and there as well- I lined up the (Still removable) Spikes with the ground so that they go along it and can get underneath opponents to some degree even whilst inverted, and the sides are tapered, with the skirts on the thin end so that they can flip over either way with no loss of function when it's upside-down.

All in all, I'm quite pleased with it, and with some good statting, it should be quite a mean Storm II-esque pusher. Thoughts?

Looks like a pretty solid rammer. Front and rear wedges might not be as effective as they could be, but should hold up fairly well. Nice work. =)

Looks pretty good. Rocket Knight is still a pretty sweet robot.

I absolutely love it :). My first rendered robot and a solid looking one too. Once Lumina now Rocket Knight, I'm pretty much looking forward to the next tournament with my new HW. You don't mind if I use the images to replace the old one :)?

Glad you all like it as well, I thought it was a pretty good design myself.

Speed: 7
Traction: 7
Torque: 5
Armour: 11 (+2 to front wedge)
Weapon: 0

These are the original stats as Lumina,so basically it's stayed the same :).

Sounds pretty good. Personally I'd cut the Armour Bonus down to 1 rather than 2 and apply it to both the Front and Back Wedges so that it has better all-round defence (Both on its chassis, and for when it's flipped over.), but other than that, I'm liking it a lot already.

shrek went 7-5 with almost the same stats, so you could have a chance of making the playoffs

If the idea is to work exactly the same inverted, I'd perhaps forego the Armour bonuses entirely, and just have 11 Armour everywhere. It should be more than enough to hold up against everything bar the slightly more ridiculous spinners.
