Sept Releases, Giant Robot Insanity!

[Landlubber]

I think it could at least be fun to see all the giant bots fight the Invaders!

Now THAT would be a fun game! Although the Invaders would probably still win. Stupid Invaders. But it sure would look cool!

I will probably pick up the FSA robot at some point, but it might be awhile. I still need more naval ships to flesh out my RoF and FSA forces, plus I need to pick up the RoF heavy bombers. Has anyone heard if the French and Russians are getting a robot? I think they're the last two of the Core Seven nations that don't have one. I looked through the discussion threads on the Spartan forums for both the RoF and the RC and didn't see any mention of new robots for either nation...maybe that will be an early 2016 release.

I have also tried to find out if the RC will get a robot. Most people assume they won't, but it seems that pretty much all the other nations are so we'll see. If they do get a robot, I would prefer something more unique like the mobile weapons platform. Maybe a big hulking bumper boat bot with cranes and the like to tear ships apart. Or maybe even a whale or walrus? Animals are more interesting to me.

There is more chatter for the RC getting a proper sky fortress. The PLC are being fleshed out into their own nation a bit, and it makes less and less sense that the RC get all their goodies.

The RC should get a big dancing bear!

Martians vs giant robots would be great!  We just need enough folks with the robots assembled and painted to do it.  I've got the new Prussian robot plus my two Metzger.  Anybody else picking up the robots?

[Dakkar]

When I start buying DW again, I'll get the Prussian big guy, the Templar box, and the FSA Iron Giant. :-)

Though I kinda love the Windsor. Enough to make me consider Britannia all by its lonesome, what what!

Hmmm...anyone want to trade their Britannia for FSA or Prussians? SQUIRREL!

[captainrockman]

I'd love a giant bear bot!

I am picking up EBS but don't plan on the Samurai robot. I will definitely be getting the Ryuo Skimming Squid, the Ikas and the small class squid bots too. I know they won't hold up as well, but I like the idea of the peoples of earth countering Invaders with some tentacle-clad bots of their own.

That scenario really appeals.  This time I think the Human Alliance should invade Mars and we fight on the Red Planet.  A big, rust-red felt, my pyramid terrain, and my Stargate and we're ready to go.

[Last Rites]

Will absolutely be getting the KoB's robot fortification gun thing. Unsure on the FSA bot...i say that now knowing damn well i pick up everything new for the FSA...sigh

The Allies will be led by Matt Damon...

Joke I heard from my brother:

"Between 'Saving Private Ryan', 'Interstellar', and 'The Martian', humanity has spent a LOT of money rescuing Matt Damon."

[captainrockman]

Well. He's worth it.

[Stephan]

Spartan put out a pic of the Russian giant robot.  Is it just me or does it look kinda drunk?

[Quickdraw]

Well it's not a bear but it does look pretty dang brutal.

[captainrockman]

Crazy! I'm stuck at work (Firewalls). What does it look like!?

Yeah me too, I just went out and took a look on my phone. I like it. I especially like the giant scythe it's carrying, and apparently you can dual-wield those things. Although the water-based model looks a little shorter than the other robots...

There was also a tease for the RoF robot, which they said we will see on 16 Nov...and something about it being aimed at the FSA??? Should be interesting.

Contemplating getting one of each of these, for display purposes if nothing else, but at 45 British pounds apiece, getting all seven of them would be about $480.
