The copper lines in the legs look like a severe structural weakness. Cool ideas going on here though.

Hi been a while since the update here are some images that we posted recently on indiedb also there is a walkthrough of how we make our assets in the game.

I don't see how the poor archer-bot could reload. I'd recommend a repeating crossbow of some sort, either traditional:

or something a bit more fantasy-based:


Also, at least let the poor guy hold it properly; when you try to go all gangsta-style with a crossbow the bolt just falls out of the groove and everybody laughs.

If you're going for robot-vs-robot combat, you might want to include picks & hammers as weapons; they are really better at removing the hard outer shell than traditional blades.

emptyslot

well yes the crossbow is maybe not totally accurate to the real world but then again im not really striving to create super realism.

there are swords coming and spears later on.

but here comes some new stuff
