Yes. Annother one.

Robot concept: Switcher

Health: 250 000 (MK3)

Speed: 65 km/h (MK3)

Hardpoints: 3x Medium, 1x Light

Ability: CORE SWAP

Upon activation, Swapper ceases to move and begins casting a teleporter on itself and it's target. After a delay of 2 seconds, Swapper switches places with it's target , and enables an Absorber shield for 7 seconds. This ability works on enemies and teammates, however teammates can cancel the teleporter by clicking a button that will appear after Swapper activates it's ability, which if pressed will make Swapper teleport to the teammate in question instead.

THIS ABILITY CAN ONLY BE USED ON THE GROUND.

Range: 700 meters

Cooldown: 22 seconds.

Description: Originally a failed teleportation robot concept dating from back in 2150, Swapper was rebuilt by Yan-Di engineers and given a name. Thanks to an unknown glitch that occured in it's teleportation programing which was used as a feature instead, it has the ability to swap itself and annother robot's positions at any given time, which allows it to pull off stunts that no other robot could.

Oohhh this sounded good till you said swap with teammate... the UE trol bot

#

Also the fact that it would require input from a teammate... yeah unless im squading i aint trusting them

These are the same IDIOTS that fire at a swords absorber...

Thats why you can CANCEL. READ.

#

Teammates can CANCEL IT. it makes Swapper teleport to the teammate instead.

Yeah i know but, they could miss it, not understanding your play, or simply just not allow you, for like capping a beacon, stealing a kill esspecially in ffa. Or like say you want to support. So you try to teleport hoping theyll cancel cause you want to support them like demeter and then you swap places. Or worst case you just teleported a teth into your spawn, helping the enemy. Yeah it can work really wel in a squad, but TROLLING is gonna be off the charts

Probably

Who knows

Hell no! Imagine swapping with enemies just as you fall out of bounds on abyss or carrier. Instakill! There must be some precaution to not let the ability use when not on solid ground. And stealing beacons from teammates will be so abundant because they won't be cancelling it

Maybe direct line of sight is needed just like sword otherwise it wont function.

#

What if it tries to swap with titan? You will just force the target to get stuck in textures or fall through the floor of the map.

What about big chunky robots? Robots can have different hitboxes both in width and heights

Yeh, except if they accidentally cancel it

#

Even then, the absorber shields both of you

#

Since if they cancel the switch the robot still teleports to them

maybe swapper and the teamate have to agree, maybe both click on eachother for the teamate swap

Imagine throwing yourself off the map and then using the ability just before you die

why riduculous

#

the goal is to swap with a teammate to get them in safety, if the ability has 350 meters its not gonna do much now that stuff like Teth exists

#

yea change places with an enemy who's 700m away and get him into line of fire of your teammates
He's dead instantly and HIS teammates might take a few seconds to realise what happened, And you can deal tons of damage to them
I mean yeah you may die after your absorber goes down but still
Not very fun to the enemy you tp to

craggy yew
#

heh, very fun to get targeted by an undodgeable rocket from six hundred meters isnt it

#

Its the same thing

hasty orchid
craggy yew
#

fair enough

#

in this economy i felt like 700 wasnt that differenr

hasty orchid
#

that is true
You do have fair points tho
