Malevolent Machine Masquerade

Hosted by Master Zaprobo and Dr Darkespark

"It's no good Dr D, these Assault ZR-6's are just not state of the art any more"
"What about Vanguard HVAS models?"
"Already been done"
"Hardlight ZR-7 and ZR-8's?"
"Too experimental. What we need is.... fresh inspiration!"

The Fab, Grandville, Etoile Isles

Greetings, scientists of the Rogue Isles and inventors of Paragon City. It is I, the esteemed Mastermind "Master Zaprobo" or MZ if you will. Myself and my lab assistant, Dr. Darkespark, would like to extend an opportunity to you - to have your robotic prototypes and creations to go into production by Arachnos Research and Development!

Simply send your mechanical monstrosity to us, in Pocket D on April 1st at 8pm BST. We'll pick the finest creation and produce your patented design straight away! As a reward, winning robots will be provided with an invention of my own design to further enhance your creation!

Don't worry if you don't win - lesser inventions will be available to help shore up your cybernetic sensation!

I look forward to seeing your handiwork soon.

In the name of SCIENCE,
MZ

All,

Arachnos Research and Development will be holding a costume competition with a Robotics theme (not scientists/inventors but the robots/cyborg/android itself). Judged by MZ and Dr D, judging will consider primarily the appearance of your character but will also take into account naming and biography as well.

There will be a selection of prizes handed out on the night, plus three eventual winners will be chosen who will have a pick from...

Apocalypse: Chance for Negative Energy Dam (Very Rare Ranged Set IO)
Hecatomb: Chance for Negative Energy Dam (Very Rare Melee Set IO)
Gravitational Anchor: Chance for Hold (Very Rare Immobilisation Set IO)

Only one of each invention is available, so the first prize winner will get first choice, second prize will pick from the two remaining and the third prize winner will get the last. For your convenience these are already crafted, and together comprise a prize fund of almost 1 billion inf at todays market prices.

All participants are recommended to have two recipe inventory slots, and one enhancement inventory slot available for receipt of prizes (should you be lucky enough to win).

So, in summary...

Date: Friday 01 April 2011
Time: 20:00hrs BST (8pm GMT+1)
Venue: Pocket D, Defiant Server
Theme: Robotic Creations

We hope to see you all there!

Well, me and the wife will look forward to what you, and others come up with. Everyone please /tell all your friends who may not check the forums regularly - there's only 3 days of costume creation time!

Only a day left to get those costumes/bios in order ready for the competition on Friday. Hope you've all got good concepts

Quick question -- does the robot need to be Arachnos themed, or are non-Arachnos robots okay?

Either is fine. No bonus points for being Arachnos themed

One hour notice! Hope you're going to make judging difficult

We had a nice turnout for the competition, and all the competitors walked away with a [Plasmatic Taser] for their troubles.



After due consideration by myself and Dr Darkespark , we got down to out 8 finalists - Defective, Volt Hunter, Cocktail Companion, Cryo Unit N-Tech, The Mask of Damz, ExtraGonk, MDSU459, and Dread Bot. These competitors all got a [Backup Radio] for their outstanding costumes.

However, their could only be three winners!


From Left to Right: Defective, Cryo Unit N-Tech and Cocktail Companion

First Place went to Cryo Unit N-Tech who chose the Hecatomb: Chance for Negative Energy Dam. Second Place went to Defective who chose the Apocalypse: Chance for Negative Energy Dam. Third Place went to Cocktail Companion who received the Gravitational Anchor: Chance for Hold.

Thanks to all our competitors, we had a blast and hope you did too!

Thanks for organising the event MZ. Some very good entries, and worthy winners.

Perhaps a question for the winner to answer, but what are those gloves that Cryo Unit N-Tech is wearing?

It looks like they've got a glow to them? Or have not had enough coffee yet this morning?

Those are the resistance gloves you get if you have GR. they do actually glow on their own.

Aha, thanks for the info. I don't know how I missed them in the costume creator before, but quickly logging in now, and there they are. Guess I skipped over them before
