He's in New Breed City now as my LW. Epicdemic has been dropped and will probably be used for Ruination 3. With less dicky armour at least.

And on the bright side, I suppose he'll receive a few less death threats than Epicdemic did, as well. :P

But still, at least it's a nice new spin on the classic Army of Bricks formula- looking forward to seeing how it does. In retrospect, I should've put the Ice Cubed Robotics logo on there somewhere. :P

Lol, that reminds me, I need to an Ectogasm logo at some point.
But now onto the main event: The Heavyweight category.
Now, I have been trying to figure out how to take my HW's into the future and become major title contenders and try to get rid of all the dead weight with either retirement or redesigns. This division I have hit a serious roadblock with, as ideas have flooded in for some of my heavyweights, but which one should I do?
Klarinette: Yes, 'Nette-Chan is a champion already and strong force, but at the moment she is doing dreadful :( So I'm instantly heading back to ye olde drawing board to figure out a potential idea. Then I saw the beetleweight bot known as Fractal. For those who haven't seen it, think Square Wave with tracks and a lifting plow shaped like an ABR wedge. I've been thinking about keeping the battle hammers to compliment the scoop, but it's still in design stage.
Flame Byxis: Or Das Oval to you picky wankers! Yeah, Kody came up with a unique idea for a SteveOUT design to help them much better in combating spinners, he's letting me use the design. It will most likely become 4WD.
Dr Thwack EVO: Oh yes, maybe it is time I brought the Doctor out of retirement and back to the weight class he belongs in, the HW division. But designing him has been a major headache. I really do wanna bring him back, but I just don't know how :(

Brutality clone was one design I had in mind. It'll be tricky to pull off, but I'm sure I could stat him right, especially with the wedge stat gone.

Remember Inky's SHW?
Go for hinged wedges.

How about a hovering Bar Spinner?

Ooh, I like the Brutality clone idea. Just make sure you can't pull a Final Destiny. :P
Good to see the good Doctor back in action once more as well.
