ok so blue robot has been upgraded with a shiny new liquid cooled quantum processors with all the latest trendy aps.. hes also fitted with a couple extra optical appendages. lasers not included. whats he do next?
Day 1) That new robot smell. upgrade size to make him grow huge upgrade strength to get our bot buff upgrade intelligence to give him mad skills if he explores he will encounter a random robot that he can destroy and use for spare parts.
This is our robot! We will call him blue for lack of a better name for now. (Post name suggestions and I will set up a poll and everyone can vote on the best one) right now hes just the factory default robot with no upgrades however I will post a poll and everyone votes on what it upgrades next or you can choose to explore and our robot will encounter other robots and androids it can kill and use their scraps for parts as it grows bigger and more powerful in its quest for world domination.
When hes finally complete after 10 rounds of upgrades he will be sent to challenge liquid blue in a showdown for the title of biggest badass in the liquiverse. We will probably all die but it will be awesome. more info about liquid blue and how the game works can be found here. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=252471

Can someone explain to me how this thing works exactly? Who comes up with what happens after the results of our vote? And when we were 'playing' our blob against other people, who determines who wins/outcomes of fights and such?

I generally decide how the vote results affect the upgrade he gets and usually go with peoples suggestions if they are reasonable.
I never got a chance to do creature battles with other forums because basically I have no way of removing people who are cheating from breaking the game. I have decided that It would just be much simpler and more enjoyable if I just used a comic style format to resolve the battles.

Basically we vote for options to skill up or do things, then Coagulation will post a new picture which shows the results of our choice. As for determining outcomes of fights/etc... ostensibly its based on our skills up to that point, but really it's voodoo magic.
well the fights became unreasonable when hordes of tl people started signing up for the other sites and tampering with polls and pretty much dominating(running into the ground) all the other creatures.. lol

Hmmmmmmm, well, Liquid`Blue was build mainly through intelligence, but exploration seems to have more risks but also more benefits. Perhaps we should go like 3 turns of intel, 1 turn of strength, and then just explore a ton? :D Assimilation (=<

Oh so it's pretty much just you drawing the pictures and making up the outcomes/storyline depending on how we vote?
Haha for some reason I thought it was more methodical than that. Was fun though, will participate again!

First of all, add another vote for poopfeast420. Best name ever.
Also, for all the "explore" people out there: explore basically means go find another robot to fight with. We'll need some advantages before we're ready to beat the living shit out of anything we meet while exploring. Last time around we spec'd into intel pretty heavily and it turned out awesome. Partly because we were able to psyblast half the creatures we met while exploring. I'm all for doing it again!

Nice evolution, he looks like Nony now! Honestly though, i think we need a plan to take down Liquid blue. A liquidBot army, with lasers for eyes who are so nice and friendly that everyone wants to hug them?

nonono we can't defeat blue at his own game, we should go for purely strenght and size! If you can't solve something with brute force, solve it with more brute force!
I think 10xintelligence would be awesome! It would render us humans obsolete, but the robot would be so awfully weak that it would be forced to join forces with us. Otherwise we could go the other route and go 10xstrength and get a stupid slave =D.

We've got a robot and we've got a Toaster. I guess both are compatible or you wouldn't have given us the option to begin with.
Robot saying to Toaster "let's make some toast tonight". Now think about that phrase and what the human equivalent would be. Come on, that had to be a joke.

I think it better if we go for a different build on this guy. Since Liquid_Blue was pretty much pure intellect build. I think it would be more interesting if we go for a more strenght orientated build or something more physical (sexing things up). Just my though though I dont really care because either way coagulate will make this thread fun :D
This thread has greatly improved my life and wellbeing.. Thank you TeamLiquid.. p.s. Upgrade that mobility and GTFO, that toaster will only slow our robot down!

Guys... this is a toaster ! It has no legs !! We don't have to run away, let's develop our intel so we can think about what we did and maybe get to the conclusion that we should have some min criteras before mating... A toaster... really ? well, I also voted for mating so i don't bame you :p

Well, in honor of the first creation: Poopfeast420!
I do agree on bulking up and going the physical side this time, if the bot is up against Liquid'Blue, it won't stand a chance against his supreme intellect.
I come up with a new strategy! We could just enjoy our ten days by screwing around and finding (and doing) as many sexy machineries as we possibly can. Pick up a smoke whereever we find the possibility. You know. Chill out.

Altough it didnt seem to be problematic at first, it made sandwhiches in the morning and never complained when you just didnt even look at it until the next morning :-/
What's with all this mating and upgrading mobility? If you have a robot, the only right thing to do, is to make it into an even bigger robot. Imagine if Thors were the size of marines. It would just be boring.

If Thors would be the size of marines, just imagine how much deadlier mass thor would be when more of them would fit in range at once.
dat power cord is big, I can get why the toaster loved him.
Too bad the power cord didn't exist before we started banging the toaster. Not sure if we have a permanent hard on now (we are addicted to mating after all) or if we stole it from the toaster.
theres no mystery im just a derp. I can make another blank one next time if it makes you feel better. careful It might be the self destruct button .. you never know.

No, stack intel and ignore strength, fight with intel and crush enemies with the power of our mind. Spreading stats around makes us lose in every category.
Who needs strength when you can shred enemies with the power of your mind and make your foe's brain explode?
Besides, bulking up will make him look horrible. We must obtain either a psychic power of god-like proportions, or become so smart that we build ourselves a fully-automatic railgun and plasma sword along with a hovering battle-tank.
What's the point of increasing size if we increase mobility? Let's have a super small, smart, and speedy robot that zips around fighting crime like a superhero.
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, NOT SMARTER! FFS! Who needs a smart robot?? The TL Hive-Mind can give him directions. We need a proper avatar of war!!!

It seems the only thing TL can get behind is brains and mating. Especially mating. no surprise here. I vote go back to toaster and write a [toaster blog]
Couldn't think of what to make this time.. But I went with intel(was an explorer before) after seeing that all the past exploration has been was finding a naggy toaster wife, hopefully we become smart enough to transcend physical forms

We already have a liquid blue that did that! Damn it, do something different this time. Ugh!
well archons harness psionic energy.. and im assuming thats cause they got high intel so it seems appropriate. You guys should boost strength. I really want to buff him up a bit.. he looks kinda dinky.
Liquid'Blue is already way ahead on the intel-route; we can never catch up with him.
Go strength!
Edit: Ugh, I realize that this sounds like adorable Liquid'Blue isn't my favorite, well, we all know the outcome anyway; hot steamy supermecharobot/ godlike creature sex anyway^^
On August 04 2012 10:52 Coagulation wrote: resistance is futile
Yes it is. Liquid'Blue is too strong to fight. But if we look at Liquid'Blue's history and the fight gets roleplayed correctly, the Blue Blob will be interested in one thing: Mating. It's been a while since Liquid'Blue got it on, after all, considering how much it mated in it's first few days of existence.
With this in mind, we must prepare Liquibot for the torrent of sexiness headed it's way. Increasing size and mating with whatever comes our way is the best option, otherwise Liquid'Blue will blow his mind with it's blobby ferocity.

But remember that liquid'blue no longer needs to mate mindlessly,
"Our blob has gained intelligence and with it, a newfound ability to read some other blobs minds! This means our blob can now predict what other blobs will do. The amount of concentration this takes is exhausting however, so this incredible talent must be used sparingly. Also, Thanks to our blobs ridiculous lustful need to mate with everything (At least we didn’t fornicate with an inanimate object!) it has had sex with every minion. Having 8 former lovers in its head 24/7 means our blob’s sexual prowess has definitely increased. Finally, our blob no longer needs to be sexually satisfied (8 Sex slaves will do that to you). Of course he will still mate with other stuff for shits and giggles."
Hence, he now only mates when he actually wants to, it is not some lust driven uncontrollable urge. Furthermore, if he should mate, his prowess is so extreme that i doubt liquibot will have any chance of maintaining control over the situation should it progress to that stage.
Wait a second, toasters plug into the wall. Our robot has a plug. They're both "male" plugs. Coag, is this robot gay? If it is I'm afraid that Chick-Fil-A may not serve me anymore. No more tasty spicy chicken sandwiches would make me sad TT
Obviously the enemy that liquibot should face is the E-sports elephant. Then when everyone can finally say that something is killing E-sports and really mean it. DO IT!
Explore ofc, that way he can find some other metaloid and assimilate it into either big ass guns or a rockin' shield that will double as a weapon when the time comes.

You never know. Freud could've had a psychological field day with you.
On that note, can we get some background on liquibots childhood?
- Was he sexually repressed? - Was he secretly attracted to his mombot? - Was he frequently denied toasts when he asked for it?
We need to know, so we can sort out his history, and prepare him for what is to come.
Liquibot makes the call to sleep with warm empty toasters on our collective whim, so even if he'd been scarred by many sleepless nights of emotional agony dwelling on sexual repression, we could all personally want to not get hung up on it... And he'd be free. To act perfectly in accordance with our perfect collective will.
Regarding the retractable power cord, do we know if the fight with liquid blue will take place where wall sockets are available?
Because if there are wall sockets, we probably need to pick up a few 100 meters of prolongation cable so we can fly around while still being attached.
Not really sure what happens when we attach the cord to a wall socket, but I'm sure it'll be AWESOME!!

The cord is just a vestigial remnant of our robot's evolution. By the time he fights Liquid`Blue he'll be advanced enough to have energy beamed to him in burst packets from a satellite system in space.

god nothing looks hotter on a toaster than body straps and cap screws. and do you see how far out that slide extension carriage goes? fking thoroughbred
POWER CORD ATTACK!!! Plug into it and take over its operating system!! It's got guns not intel!! Ours is obviously smarter! We can consume its parts that way and get an ultra power up!!
I sincerely hope if TL continues to pick stupid options, Coag punishes them with dud results to show them that there are consequences for being trolly.
I don't suppose the mate option has any sort of assimilation sub-option? As a community we seem to like exploring, and not getting a whole lot out of it in terms of upgrades. As (re)productive as toaster sex was, I feel like the words of warning about rival robots shouldn't be ignored.
It looks like do nothing is winning though, so I guess we'll see. Doesn't seem like we'll be beating the Blue Creature by round 10 anyways though, so we may as well make the best of our travels.

Judging from my Dragon Warrior 3 experience, choosing the blank option is usually the "bonus" option that gives the best reward. Hopefully Coag has played a little DW3.
I will be incredibly disappointed if it's just a sneaky way of doing nothing.
Also, when we met the toaster, did we even have a "turn it into a gun" option? 'Cause i would have been all over that. Judging from Liquid'Blue's exploits, I kinda expected the sex to do that anyway.

I imagine he has a storage compartment somewhere that he stashed all the toast from his encounter with toaster slut.
Also as far as the mate vote count so far goes I think we finally found the magic number of guns needed to be pointed at the TL hive mind to deter sexual molestation (9)

If this bonus option doesn't turn out better than sex we'll never make that mistake again. Don't worry.
It must mean that liquibot blanks the memory of the other bot, so that he can reprogram him to follow him from now on. If we can 2 on 1 liquid'blue, maybe we can stand a chance.

I would like to draw some robots for a league. I don't know if I would have time to draw a new one every 12 hours though. Maybe like every 2 days?
Also, instead of worrying about a game that can be abused, you could just sorta take a Calvinball approach and have fun with it. I don't think there is ever gonna be a way to empirically determine who has the strongest fictional robot. The game can be just as silly and random as the creation of the robots themselves.
I am imagining like 32 robots each created in their own thread, and then there is a bracket where it is voted on randomly kinda like that TL ESPORTS bracket which was just completely random. The battles could be like best of 3s where each artist/team chooses a move and then people vote on who takes the round.
Anyway, just some random brainstorming :D
edit: i seemed to have used the word random a lot in this post.

Just get random TLers to make MS paint monsters/robots/cosmic horrors, take the most promising ones and art them up, make up some stats (or have people vote on stats) and make a bracket. winner gets to add on the loser's parts or skills, and it goes until only one remains standing, ready to enslave the universe.
and of course the next time a tournament is held the winner gets to defend its crown.
/e - I like some of seaofsaturns ideas too.
double edit - the more I think about it the more awesome this idea seems, I just wish I had artistic skills to back it up.

Ooh the winner takes the losers skills, I like that.
are these paint versions too low quality? if so i'm gonna ditch my initial plan of getting really drunk and making some more
Seems like coag can fix anything. Getting drunk and doing more seems like a great idea! Keep us updated on how that goes. Only problem would be if coag has the time/energy to fix them all up.
Dunno if you're still looking for crappy mspaint drawings (if they could be called something so sophisticated.) to turn into masterpieces, here's a bit of shit I made.
And a slightly different / less complicated version. + Show Spoiler +
On another note I've always loved your artwork in these threads, they're bloody fantastic. + Show Spoiler +
My favorite creature so far are Liquid'Blue and the Green blob on the other forum. Those were some badass dudes.

TLers propose some MS paint drawed monsters that we tune, once we got enough, we make a game where TL gets 5 random monsters and all other monsters are set randomly in some dungeons. TLers can then vote in 3 different polls : Mate poll (which monster do babies to which monster, to create an hybrid) Explore poll (which creature goes to which dungeon) Evolve poll (which creature gets an evolution)
The dungeons are set totally randomly so some of them can have a stupidly strong boss at entrance, so sending some crappy monsters to scout should be a good call, since monster will permanently die if they don't succeed a fight or an escape.
When a monster is defeated, we can capture him. At the end of the dungeon would be a random artifact
Monsters could have some defined stats so we can predict a combat outcome, but it's good if a part of randomness is kept (something like a simplified D&D)
ohhhh, didn't see the post :/ Are you also doing it ? if so i can stop mine and save it as a template for later, I haven't gone into the fire and ice stuff yet
And the "board" thing sounds a lot like Dungeon of doom. Basically robots/monster/player choose from which entrance they want to start, the enemy traps/monsters/events are set by someone (coag I suppose?) after each one we get to choose a reward for clearing the trap/monster/event, if you we fail our poor creature/robot dies a hilarious death, with funny pictures involved. A note should be that dungeon of doom (Dnd one) was never meant to be cleared and was basically beginner characters walking into big demons/dragons and other stuff, it had a high score for who got the furthest.
Behold my pityful online photoshop skillz here ist the link to where i uploaded it, in case you get a bad resolution: LINK What i was trying to draw was a moster hiding as a giant rock/mountain, with a little pink decoy thingy. And you shouldn't really see that the rock is actually the real monster at first glance. You need a lot of intelligence to defeat this monster (to see through the decoy trap)
Would be splendid if you could do this one too. You guys are like gods to me ^^

Woah. I loved the Blue Creature thread and checked it every single day, even though I wasn't even registered on TL back then. But this, this is just the most awesome thing ever. =D Coag is amazing. ♥ And Diks too. =D

im doing this one next
oh i'm sorry if i'm too late but the pink decoy thingy was supposed to be furry and cute somehow this does not seem to be represented in my sketch :/
a million hours in paint later... it still looks like ass lol. But I'm envisioning a bad ass grim reaper looking dude with blue flames for eyes and hands, a tattered up black and gold robe, golden teeth (with some jewels perhaps) and a bad-ass scythe with a human skull as a topper.
This thread has definitely taken a turn for the awesome, though I hope liquibot gets some love.

there I think I fixed the image.
At first glance I thought that you suggested someone guy showering.
at first i thought it was gonna be this badass rotating collection of tubes but then that became just the head. then i thought it was going to be some sort of clown type thing but eventually it turned into just this weird thing

Behold my paint skills. That is supposed to be a ghost-like creature with a red hat and some weapons for hands (or in his hands) and a long tail with spikes or something else dangerous on them.
Green/gray see-through body.
P.S : If you're wondering about the shape, that started as a teapot but I gave up that idea and was too lazy to remake the shape.
I think if someone decides to draw it though, I thought it would be cooler to have that left hand (on the right on the drawing) be an acidic mess (it was supposed to be steam initially --- I think a teapot ghost is better than a normal ghost)

the thing in his head is some sort of super high tech reactor that generates the power needed for whatever those blue things sticking out from the head are. the blue lines and black dots were my best attempt at circuits. the head is not filled in all the way, there are huge gaps in between those 3 yellow spokes in wish electricity can be seen shooting out of the core of the head
Thank you so much to all three of you, for making this a "must visit" thread, everytime i look through TL.net ! The creatures are so absolutely brilliant made, such a transformation !

but yeah omg... there should be a video game with all these characters
I went to the liberty of making a bestiary, compendium, index, whatever you want to call it. I thought it would be nice to have everything in one place, and numbers we can look at to see where things stand. Hopefully you all find this at least slightly useful.
Basically we have the number, representing the order in which the original concept was posted.
We have the name of the creature which I added in order to make the references easier to parse. + Show Spoiler +
Some of the names are from the original concept post. Such as Slimy, Basalt Giant, and the aptly named, “Weird Thing.” (I know that’s not what it’s name was supposed to be. But I found the description accurate and filled with brevity.)
One is from the artist. (Free Hug)
And the rest are from my imagination. Some better than others. My favorite names I came up with are The Cookbot, Grim Rapper (the teeth, you see), The Very Hungry Caterpillar on Drugs. And my personal favorite, Slender Bear. The instant I saw that suit I knew what he had to be called, and it amuses me to no end.
Some of my names kind of suck though, so I’m open to suggestions.
Next is the name of the original “concept artist”. Clicking on the name will take you to the post in which you can see the concept picture for yourself.
Last, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY we have the Badass Artists themselves. Clicking on their names will take you to the BEAUTIFUL final picture of the creature.
BAMF renamed IcyHot by request of Mordanis. Random period after one of the numbers removed. Removed s from Free Hugs, noticed it was only Free Hug in the picture. Stick Gunman renamed Steve by request of Firebolt145, the original artist. Added Chicken Scratch, wasn't sure if that was supposed to be it's name. But that's what it is for now. Added finished Slender Bear artwork. Adjusted completed monsters to reflect change in number. Added Psyzilla. IcyHot renamed Genius Loci by request of strongandbig, the original artist. Italicized it because he did in his post. And why not, it looks cool. Added Levitating Face, Stomp Bot, Laser Elephant and The Red Ogre, the last I wasn't sure what to call, so I'm settling for this atm. Added finished Chicken Scratch artwork. Added finished Laser Elephant artwork. Added a bunch new concept artwork. Added finished Weird Thing artwork. Removed some text from the main body of the post to make more room, and make it easier to update. Complted monster numbers still there. Added a bunch new concept artwork, went to the liberty of giving Manlifesto7 a title. Added finished Stomp Bot artwork. Added Murderer of Steve Irwin concept artwork. I deny the all accusations that the name is insensitive. Added finished Basalt Giant artwork.
I'd respectfully like to ask that #10 BAMF be renamed IcyHot. If either artist is against that, they obviously get precedence over my humble opinion. I just think that IcyHot is a kickass name for that one :D
and when we have 200+ monsters we'll make an rpg off it! it could be a community project TL members collaboration thing. and it would be totally awesome.

Done. But yeah. Something I forgot to mention. If any of the original artists want the name of their creature changed just tell me, and I will. These names were mainly to make it easier to navagate. (Though I'd only reluctantly part with Slender Bear.)
Well, anyone's free to suggest name changes. But I'm valuing the opinion of the original artist a little more.
On August 10 2012 17:56 Firebolt145 wrote: Please change the name of mine to 'Steve'.
Done.
Something to note in the future, everyone. In order to not cluster up the thread I’ll probably just edit my post and put something in the changelog rather than replying every time someone wants something changed. So just check back at the top of page 32 anytime you make a request, if I’m around I’ll usually change it in a jiffy.
And I’ll be editing in new artwork as it rolls around. Provided I’m present, and if I’m not it’ll happen not too far in the future.

IDK IcyHot sounds kinda less badass... if it needed a monster genera name I was thinking something like Genius Loci (from Roman religion/mythology, the guardian spirit of a particular place) or Elemental Giant.

Is there one you prefer? Otherwise I guess I'll change it to Genius Loci. I like it more than all the other names for him. It kind of suggests a story and sounds badass.

wow. Just wow. Turned out exactly how i wanted it to be. Request to name it "Fluffy", because the pink thingy turned out soooo cute =)
Laser elephant, drawn by my 11 yo brother. The imagination, of kids, well exceeds mine, when it comes to painting monsters.

I'm a bit disappointed of the result, but the concept is so cool that your borther should have been hired by blizzard... Lazerphant instead of collossus ? Yes please

Unfortunately I don’t think it turned out as cool as my other one. My brain is too advanced in comparison to my artistic skill when it comes to visuals I am thinking. (Not saying much, I know.) So in the place of artistic skill I shall invoke the power of words!
The idea was a sort of gorilla like body, although with a more upright posture, and more variance in the leg length. It only has the one beefy front leg, and coming out of it’s chest around where the other leg would be if he had one are two spindly t-rex like arms, for manipulating delicate objects. Another note is it's supposed to have gray skin, as opposed to fur.
It’s face, perhaps my biggest failure, (though the t-rex arms were pretty bad, and that’s being generous) was supposed to be in a similar vein as The Silence, from Doctor Who, or that mask you see in Scream. Only with a ton of eyes.
Then it has a dark cloak over its back, the hood is optional, I’m not sure if I like it.
On a somewhat sad note, I am disturbingly proud of my ability to create the 3d effect of putting his other back leg in there.
Anyways, I’m going to take a nap, so the compendium post at the top of page 32 will probably get a little out of date. This thread is beyond awesome, btw. Huge thank you to the artists making squiggles into masterpieces, you guys are great!

Thank you. I really have to commend you guys for bringing to life these awesome ideas posted by others. You guys are just really talented :D
Plus just doodling a bunch of weird looking things like you did when you where a kid is just so much damn fun to the point where I wanna learn
Also Slenderbear is so bad ass haha. Thats the kinda pic you would love to use av an avatar for your profiles on all the sites you visit. Just so unique and awesome :D
so i got high and decided to draw something on paint.net this is the levitating face surrounded by mysterious smoke and he has unkown mental powers
ok i drew this last night after smoking and i was seeing all kinds of weird things in the smoke but now that i'm sober it's less obvious. if someone decides to do this one i think the strange smoke is important lol

The eel in mario n64 always scared me for some reason. Same with morray eels ,anglers, and lampreys. I was thinking of maybe doing a lamprey mouth for the main creature since then i'd have all of them covered but youd probably need a different angle to really make it work.
So anyways its a little submarine exploring a shipwreck with its flashlight. Sees that damn mario n64 eel but it's actually just the lure for the main monster with its big glossy angler eye. I think it might also work better if the angler leading to the little eel came from the bottom of his body through the sand into the ship(or it's his tail). Was imagining some cool lighting/water effects in my head since it's deep underwater with the minimal light source from the submarine. If someone decides to pimp my art thanks for your time in advance : D.

turned out really small this time. Zoom in on the picture to see that the harpoons are all poisoned. Also it has 2 sets of eyes, a lot of red ones for close combat and 2 blue eyes that provide it with long ranged vision for harpoon shots

Thank you so much !
We could put together some sort of Kingdom of Loathing style web rpg, and as the monsters slay the intrepid adventurers, they gain more abilities/power.
In my version, the monsters would ruthlessly slaughter adventurers 9/10 times, and the real game would be that after you defeat a monster, you get to wield it in a PvP monster arena.... wait a second, this sounds like pokemon.....

If itwas, it would be awesome.
i'm not saying it can't be, i just say it wasn't supposed to be this way. But Coagulation holds all the cards on the blue robot, and if he feels like you do, then stomp robot shall be the remodeled blue robot after blank option ^^ then again, i have no saying in this.

Not our fault you baited us into picking the mystery option. It was well documented in the thread that we thought it'd be something awesome instead of you trolling us ^_^
Other solution would be to merge the 2 pojetcs; Blue Robot and his opponent have been captured by some aliens forces that recruited them to fight in the space dungeon arena (this plot is crap, i know). They would be the initial roster. LiquidBlue could make his comeback as a final boss...
Maybe do another poll to ask for the future of blue robot
That rival robot looked pretty tough, and the wizard took it out instantly. That spell must have been extremely powerful, and I'd wager it took up the wizard's entire mana pool. Let's attack the wizard while his mana is low!
If we try to run, he'll throw a dimensional anchor on us then proceed to play a game of snipe the robot with giant exploding balls of plasma. Better just kill him.

Perhaps he will underestimate us and get choked out by our power cord when he least expects it...or can wizards cast spells while they're choking.
I can't help but feel like Liquid'Blue had a lot more turns, or stats, or something. We're nearly done with the robot and he's 1/1/1 and only mated with one (?) thing, while the last one somehow found time to get it on with everything in sight and still manage something like 1/5/0.
EDIT: actually, 1/6/3. BlueBot is screwed.
Also Liquid'Blue's thread is here: here, for those (like me) who couldn't be bothered with the search function until forced into it.

That and I also miss the back story the BlueBot had. I guess "the sequel is always worse" applies here x).

Re-reading the thread, Liquid'Blue actually seems to have had twice as many turns, because he had both night and day for each one. Plus, he tended to get stats from every encounter no matter what he did, while both the toaster and the mystery option gave us nada.

BlueBot is feeling very unloved, Coag.
everyone loves a good underdog story. And plus you guys have no idea how much love im about to give TLbot. But first we need a respectable name.
Still taking suggestions for names. post em if you got them. And they have to be SRS. sorry poopfeast420 fans. not gonna happen.
Are they equally upgraded though? I mean it looks like blue has significantly more random little additions, powers etc. However the robot looks like a total beast of course. Amazing job again~
about a year ago when I did the first liquid creature thread. I wanted TL to build the super epic bad guy (liquid blue) and then build a hero to challenge him and save the universe (hotbotLOL)
As much as I'd love Hot_Bot to win (he has toaster kids waiting for him back home) I'm going to have to go with Liquid'Blue just on badassery. It looks like a Rorschach image stepped of the page, grew claws and teeth from sheer force of will and proceeded to devour the universe. I can't see how a skullbot with a power cord has a chance against it.
hologram projected image I think.. But im not sure. maybe the "visual representation" of the spirits it has consumed. maybe he fancys himself some kind of technological grim reaper absorbing people so thats why it chooses to convey itself as a skull.
