Stan Alda Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 It's been a while since I posted a new set/archetype, so it's good to be back. This set is, as the title implies, based on BattleBots-style robotic combat. It's a family of EARTH/Machine monsters, with the heavy hitters being Contact Fusion monsters. The kicker is that as long as there is a "BrawlBot" on the field, both players can only control one monster on their respective sides of the field (although a support card I might release later may expand it to 2 monsters per player). What's worse, their planned effects (I'm not finished yet) revolve around opening up your opponent's side of the field to attack by screwing with their monster, like temporarily moving it to their Spell/Trap Zone or changing its Battle Position. To compensate, the real heavy hitters require a "BrawlBot" Fusion Monster as a material; in other words, they are Fusions of a Fusion and another monster. (I can only remember one "double Fusion" monster like that, "Rare Fish".) They come in 3 "weight classes": LW (lightweight Effect Monsters), MW (middleweight Fusion Monsters), and HW (heavyweight Fusion-of-a-Fusion Monsters). The pics came from bots I designed in [i]Robot Arena 2[/i], a really fun robotic combat simulation game. In short, they force the game to a 1-on-1 format and use smaller, weaker monsters to grow progressively stronger in a specific line, thus turning Yu-Gi-Oh into a bizarre pastiche of the Pokemon TCG. Weird, huh?

BlackRose0202 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 i like them but i dont get the reason for moving them to the spell and trap card zone can you please explain? Also you should make dozer a higher ATK cause he wont be on the field for more then 2 turns because of it being 1900. try making it 2100 cause if u dnt want to use its effect at lease you can attack directly if wedgie uses his effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strategy behind wedge-shaped combat robots is to lift the opponent a bit off the ground and push it around, preferably pinning it into a wall. I translated this to the current effect, allowing you to get in a free attack. I was afraid that allowing it to attack in the same turn would make it OP'd. Later cards may make it more useful, so stay tuned.

With the field-control effects it has, I figured it might be OP'd if its ATK was too high. I'll wait for more critiques, but I'll keep it in mind.Added another LW and the first HW.

Stan Alda Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Added more LWs and an MW. Any ideas for more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas the Flame Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 How about the Flap Jack fusion ingredient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caseywwm Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 All of the effects seem kind of unusable for the most part. The effect doesn't exclude themselves when they are summoned, so all you're doing is hurting yourself while leaving your field open for a direct attack, and possible OTK. You should fix the effect to where it returns all cards except itself back to the hand. Otherwise these monsters aren't even remotely worth running. Seriously, fix the effects. |:< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Temple Gaurdian Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 That and the HW one is impossible to get out as it requires you to have a fusion monster in your hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changed its name to "Forkie", and I forgot to change the MW card. I'll fix that later today. [quote name='Black Temple Gaurdian' timestamp='1333448954' post='5899947'] That and the HW one is impossible to get out as it requires you to have a fusion monster in your hand. [/quote] Yeah, I realized that, too. This is because I used the same template for both MW and HW BrawlBots. I'll fix that too, somewhere around my lunchtime.

Stan Alda Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 While the lore has been fixed and updated, the pics have not. Photobucket sucks. I renamed "RamDozer" to "Earth Mover". It just sounded better. It and "Ripper Wedgie" have also been buffed; their monster-moving effects work until the end of your next End Phase (giving you a free attack), and "Earth Mover"'s ATK has been boosted to 2100. In addition, "Mega-TyrannoBot XL 200"'s Fusion Materials can now come from either the hand or the field; the idea is that you'll have "Earth Mover" on the field and "Mjolnir" in your hand. I plan on patterning all the HW BrawlBots on "Mega-TyrranoBot", so stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Alda Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Photobucket finally decided to straighten up and behave, so the pics are now back up and updated. Does anyone have strategic analysis for this?Moved to PC, eh? Fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 WHAT!? SOMEONE ELSE ON YCM PLAYS RA2 AS WELL!?!? Oh, and Mjolnir doesn't really need that last line on it's effect, TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the DSL mod to make the bots, then cropped the screenshots. [quote]Oh, and Mjolnir doesn't really need that last line on it's effect, TBH.[/quote] I figured I'd give it a little insurance against Trap Cards.

Stan Alda Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Added another MW, "Gut-Ripper". I think it should be self-evident that the MW cards just have both of their Materials' effects. Upcoming HWs might have a little mor originality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
