Raises up the medium and light slots for use and deploys a physical shield in the front
#new robot idea

I only posted this because my mind keeps returning to this dumb idea of a robot with 6-9 weapons slots on literal fragile as hell scaffolding

whats the ability cooldown
About 15-20 seconds

Solidify all the numbers. hp, durability of shields, cooldowns, duration, ability type(theres about 6), speed, any applied effect.
wait why is there 6 guns

How would the robot look?
Also I feel like a robot with already 6 weapons does not need a physical shield. Perhaps a debuff considering well that ability. Decreased speed or decreased defense for the duration of the ability could work. It would encourage the players to play strategically balancing their immense firepower while also taking into account their debuff.

personally this sounds sort of boring
safe urchin
It doesn't sound boring just necessarily too powerful

The whole idea is that it has six weapons along with a physical shield....
Sure it's too powerful, but it's boring
there's no other to it

Which is why I reccomended a debuff over shield

Speed debuff is definitely one of them, I'd say in exchange there would be a defense buff over the physical shield itself. The cooldown should be not 20, but 25 because imagine having the right set of each of those 6 weapons that would be too strong. In addition, this seems more like a tank build so it makes sense if it had more hp, Meanwhile it could be more susceptible to effects as it'll gain a new debuff which causes it to gain things faster such as blast,freeze,acid and such.
Sounds like an interesting idea doesn't it?
God imagine rust weapons on this though 💀

That sounds like a good idea, although we could increase the cooldown a bit more, 27-28 maybe? It definitely appears to be a tanky robot. I especially like the increased accumulation of effects part, much better than any old debuff like behemoth. Although, it should have somewhat below average health to not make this thing an absolute god. Although I am curious how these weapons would be placed on this robot. 4 weapons on a robot ex: typhon look somewhat cramped so I wonder how 6 weapons would work. Especially including that they aren't always active.

Oh god
I could see the sniping potential with this thing

I believe two heavy weapons would be on its shoulders, while the four would rest idle on its back before tentacles slowly draw the four out.
and yeah the cooldown definitely needs to be long. maybe that's a good balance for how it's gonna go.
while your opinion for the health part is definitely agreeable as well

You would expect the heavy weapons on the top no?
safe urchin
Has there been a robot with their heavy on the side
vital comet
... I'm not sure actually
safe urchin
Well I suppose the top is fine too
I mean it could be the 3rd
Would be an interestnig design
