< Flail >

Creator .........: Stephen Jamison
Creation Date ...: May 19, 2083
Special Abilities: Spinning Throw, Charging Punch, Swinging Chains


  Manual:

This 'bot is the greatest thing to happen to general construction work since the hammer. Capable of building and demolition, it uses its five ton chains for the heavier jobs. This unit will be the primary model used for the initial colonization of Ganymede.

When used for combat purposes, Flail's chains come in handy. Most of the special offensive maneuvers center around the use of these chains as weapons. Also, Flail can use its powerful Charging Punch, which is guaranteed by WAR to level any mortar wall built by man.


  Matts:

Definitely the oddball of the group, I can imagine the Elam's conceptualizing the designs for the Flail after one too many slices of a Meat-Lover's pizza with extra pepperoni. This 'bot looks like it could handle anything from smart missiles to heavy indigestion. And it can, too. (I'm guessing on the indigestion part) Although discouraging to learn, the Flail is one of the more interesting, and fun, 'bots to use. And Although he's hard to use against the instantaneous reflexes of the computer, he's a blast to use against your friends-turned-enemies in Two Player Mode. However, to even things out in your battle against unfair AI response time, there are a couple of bugs that you can use to win your personal war against the evil Major.
