David FNJ Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Location: F02 - Lesser Drigo Tags: MANTIS, Spying AG: Octan Games by David FNJ, on Flickr Double D's log 8: Several days after being sent on our next mission from the MANTIS LD HQ[/ul], we emerged from a large crack in the ground much like the one I was in during my Waterbug mission. Of course we had already bypassed any heavy security that patrolled the boarders so all we needed was a way inside the building. We spotted something a few hundred meters East that looked interesting, so we went to go see what it was. "Well that's just cheating! Equipping your bot with a shock-pulse gun!" "Well, no one is here to see it, huh? Too bad. Who needs that hunk of junk rolling bot nowadays anyway!" "Fine, wait till I get my bot and THEN we'll see who's got a good fighter. This was just a test round to make sure I'm not going to waste my time with a fight against something too wipmy." "OH?! Is that a challenge?! Haha, I accept! Let's go get this 'champ' of a bot that you claim to got!" "Did you just make a rhyme?" "I don't care. Let's go, Jerry will recycle the parts from the losing bot - if he can find any! Haha!" When we arrived, we found a lone robot that apparently lost to a duel against another one of Octan's robots. It almost looked sad...plus it may have had some nice Octan information or key of some sort, so we decided to fix it. Almost immediately, the bot seemed to take a liking to us! It even changed it's camera light to green rather than the hideous red it had before we had fixed it. After playing around with its electronics for a bit, we found that the bot could enter the complex through a door designed for small robots. It was perfect. We had found a way in without being detected! Looks like we had found a new friend. ~DD out Edited July 13, 2015 by David FNJ Quote
marcu22 Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Nice idea! Reminds me of the TBBT-epsiode including the robo-fight between Sheldon and Kripke. Once more you present a good looking landscape, these blue things are clever! Quote
Ferdinando Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 This is fantastic under all aspects-the story is my personal favourite, but the build itself is a masterpiece. Quote
Garmadon Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Great little bots David FNJ, I must admit, the M.A.N.T.I.S. one is pretty sweet! Very nice pen and landscaping as well, those plants using the blue technic pins are awesome! Quote
LittleJohn Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Excellent build, David! The blue technic pin plants are genius and I like the use of doors Quote
Big Sal Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Haha, great idea for a story! The blue plants are amazing! Quote
Kai NRG Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Very clever story idea, and the blue landscape is pretty neat too! Quote
mccoyed Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Great story and landscape. Those technic pins as flora is just inspired! Quote
aeralure Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 The broken robot made me sad. Glad you fixed him. Really nice idea for the blue plants. Quote
NuckElBerg Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Nice build! Seems like a lot of bots are being recruited by M.A.N.T.I.S. agents these days! Quote
Niloc Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Really nice idea and execution! I'm always pro arena robot fights! The robot turned MANTIS is reallt cute, and those plants are very original! Quote
