Guest Incredible Hulk Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 SLOT Three: Humanoid and self-contained (non-distributed) robot, autonomous machine, self-aware computer or cyborg. I don't quite understand what you mean by "self-contained (non-distributed). Also, what is the max power level/rating for this category? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 I don't quite understand what you mean by "self-contained (non-distributed). Also, what is the max power level/rating for this category? Sure, as an example SKY-NET is distributed. That is, it exists in many computer systems like the internet. Whereas one of SKY-NET's T-1000 Terminator Robots is not distributed - it is a self contained cyborg entity. The Red Queen, from Resident Evil 1 I think - the Umbrella Corp hologram, is also distributed. Power level / rating hasn't been set. However Planet Destroying will be out. Sorry Unicron.

Guest sithisson Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Cool and looking forward to it. Have some ideas already save for maybe the high powered one.; will have to think on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bigballerju Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Ultron would be distributed too. That's out too as another example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confession FPT Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Would the Borg Queen from Star Trek: TNG be distributed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Would the Borg Queen from Star Trek: TNG be distributed?No not distributed for the purposes of a CBUB match because she was depicted as an autonomous humanoid being. SKY-NET has never been depicted strictly as a defeatable humanoid character. SKY-NET is everywhere and in everything. It is essentially an abstract being and that just doesn't fit the category. "The Matrix" itself as a character is another one which will not fly. The Red Queen from Resident Evil, Joshua from War Games ... you get the idea. The Holographic Doctor from Star Trek Voyager could be a CBUB Season contender because he also was shown to be a roaming self contained entity when using the portable holographic projector.

xLEGACYx Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Im assuming Fox is letting me help judge characters allowed for teams. He asked me to post my suggestions to him for all to see for the upcoming season 2. So to help clarify some...As far as slot 3, 4, and 5 for season two goes...Spiderman as an example as the LIMIT for slot 4 BELOW superman and thor level for slot 5around superman and thor level (no cosmics) for slot 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergy_Berg Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I really like that the slots are getting into some better specifics regarding character powers. SLOT Three: Processin' the team's oddsA Humanoid robot, autonomous machine, self-aware computer or cyborg of up to average power. Character must mobile and targetable - Not a stationary computer.Examples: IG-88, Terminator Robots, Data (Star Trek), Cyborg Friday the 13th Jason (IN SPACE! lol), Machine Man, single lower powered Transformers (like Bumble-bee), Deathlok Two things about slot 3. First, isn't Bumlebee way more powerful than anyone else listed there? He may not be a good example of a low powered robot. Second, are machines that infect other machines allowed? I'd hate to see a character chosen who wins every match with "Character A controls Character B's mechanical brain and forces it to self-destruct lawlz." Would get annoying.

xLEGACYx Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I really like that the slots are getting into some better specifics regarding character powers. Two things about slot 3. First, isn't Bumlebee way more powerful than anyone else listed there? He may not be a good example of a low powered robot. Second, are machines that infect other machines allowed? I'd hate to see a character chosen who wins every match with "Character A controls Character B's mechanical brain and forces it to self-destruct lawlz." Would get annoying.The characters have to be self contained and can not replicate or take over the other machine. Example T-X could be used but for the season purpose, she cant simply take control of the other robotic character. There are many characters to choose from in this category. Bumblebee would be high powered but there are plenty others that could be just as dangerous. A normal (low tier) transformer I would say would be the max on power level though.

Fox Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Two things about slot 3. First, isn't Bumlebee way more powerful than anyone else listed there? He may not be a good example of a low powered robot.It reads of up to Average power. And, you know, if that is the case that Bumble Bee is indeed more powerful than the others listed, then I guess everyone should take a transformer. There's a crap-ton of them to choose from. I saw the Transformers movie and I didn't get the feeling that most were all that powerful - or any more so than the more advanced Terminator models. But, what do I know. Your mileage may vary out on the Kill Floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Incidentally, if you are planning to take a particular Transformer for SLOT 3, then the time to get them into the Character Database for use would be this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shoggoth breeder Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I'm guessing that something like Mecha-Godzilla would be over the power limit for Season 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
