Hey
Nice to meet you. I saw that you got a picture of Twister. Can I ask where you got it from? The wiki is missing a lot of important images.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  http://web.archive.org/web/20050305200250/http://members.lycos.nl/rwnl1/images/6-uk/cedricslammer.gif All you need to do is cut out the web.archive part, so that link above becomes: http://members.lycos.nl/rwnl1/images/6-uk/cedricslammer.gif and Bob's your uncle  RA2 16:03, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I got it from RWNL.tk. The site itself is down, but the images are still accessible.RA2 04:25, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * How? Also, I recommend making a user page. It annoys people when they see a red link. I look forward to working with you.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  05:20, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Access the page through web.archive.org and choose one of the versions from 2005. Once on the site, you select English or Dutch, depending on your preference, go to "archives" then click on series 4, 5, or 6, then click "robots" on the table.  This will bring you to a list of robots from the series, and then you just click on the robot whose pic you want.  You will be taken to a "not found" page, but don't worry.  Look in the address bar and you'll see an address like this one:

Robot Arena 2
I thought your username might be a reference to this game. I own the game and I think it's great fun building robots on it. Unfortunately, I'm not very good at it, but it's fun nevertheless. I love the replicas you've made, especially the ones from the first series. Christophee 16:45, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Please help me
Find those images. Can you give me the link to the archived page?  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  02:25, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm trying to post the link, but it won't let me because of the spam filter. Which pictures do you need? RA2 04:53, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Try emailing me the link through SPecial:Email user/TOon Ganondorf. I just want to look at the list of robots.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  06:04, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * THanks for that, but pretty much nothing is coming from it. Almost every page is down. THanks anyway.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  06:28, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, it's there, you just have to know where to look. After you click on a link of a robot's pic, go up to the address bar and delete everything before "http://members.lycos.nl....." and then hit enter.  You should be taken to the pic you want.RA2 06:32, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I managed. I'll start uploading. TG, if you can't do it, just leave it to us.  Gutripper Speak  11:08, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Annihlator Setup
Would you mind voicing an opinion on the proposed layout for Annihilators? Discussion is found here. Please state on the page which layout you find more informative.  Gutripper  Speak   20:46, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey there.
You're the guy with those replica battle videos? That's cool. Nice to meet you over here.

Out of interest, which robots do you have replicated? As much as I'd like to make a request, I don't wish to do something with a robot you don't have. CBFan 22:50, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi! Yep, I'm the robot wars replica guy. Don't be shy about requesting one I haven't done, I always look forward to making new ones. I've posted a full list of the ones I've done on my userpage, and I update it constantly.  Check it out if you get a chance. RA2 01:50, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I do have a few requests actually, but I'll just give you three to start with.


 * Shredder vs Tip Top vs T-Bone: I came up with my own Robot Wars Magazine style Fantasy Fight a few years back involving these three.
 * Pain vs Thunderpants: The robots we never got to see. If the "Terror Australis" you mentioned is the original one, rather than the repainted Nemesis, include him as well.
 * Finally...if you created Gemini, do you think you could do Black & Blue and have them fight each other?


 * Thank you in advance. CBFan 10:09, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Can I request one too? Kronic 2 vs Iron Awe 2? These days, those two dominate. I want to see which is better in a match. Cheers.  Gutripper  Speak   10:24, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi guys, sorry about the time it took me to reply. I'd totally be up to doing those, but it may take me a while; final exams are less than 3 weeks away, and there are a lot of "seasonal" battles in the near future that I really want to get out on time. But after that, I should be good to go.

CBFan- My version of Terror Australis is the one you're thinking of, so I'll include it in the battle. How about if I include the Parthian Shot too? RA2 20:42, 26 March 2009 (UTC)


 * That'd be great. Thanks. CBFan 22:32, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Images
Hey. Nice work getting those images of Ming. Do you think you could find one of Manic Mutant or Thermidor? THey're still missing, and I can't find one. Thanks.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  04:12, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * The Series 3 images come from taking screenshots of Youtube vidoes, and cropping out everything but the robot in question. Unfortunately, Heats D and M aren't on Youtube, but the good news is that someone is in the process of uploading series 3, and when they do I'll have no problem getting those pictures.'''R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas 16:29, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

So how do you take snapshots of the Youtube movies?  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  09:42, 31 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Pause the video at whatever frame you want to take a snapshot of. Hold CTRL and hit Print Screen.  Open up Paint, and right click within the document, and select "paste" from the dropdown menu.  Then crop everything but the robot, and save it. '''R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas 15:27, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Signiature
Are you aware that your signiature does not link to anything? Its ok to link to external sites, but the idea of signiatures is to follow a link to the user's page.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  02:13, 1 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry 'bout that. Does it work now?  '''R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas 11:34, 1 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah. Also, I read what you said above. Where is the Print Screen option? On the keyboard or on the screen or where?  Gutripper  Speak   21:50, 1 April 2009 (UTC)


 * On a PC keyboard, it's the button to the right of F12. On a Dell laptop, it's located directly above F10.  What kind of keyboard do you have? '''R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas 00:32, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Kronic vs Iron Awe
Loved it, and just the ending I hoped for. Keep up the good work. If you feel like another one, I'd very much like to see an annihilator I made up. Is that possible?  Gutripper  Speak   10:29, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I can only have up to 4 robots in the arena at once. Still, I'd be glad to do it if you're willing to select the 4 out of 6 you most want to see. '''R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas
 * The robots are Kronic 2, Medusa 2000, Crushtacean, Diotoir, Edgehog and Tartarus. I'd prefer the first 4. Thanks mate.  Gutripper  Speak   23:39, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * And I'd like at least one OOTA, if possible. If you've not done it yet, that is. I like your other videos, but there is a distinct lack of Out of the Arenas.  Gutripper  Speak   07:02, 20 April 2009 (UTC)


 * That can probably be arranged. There's this uber-powerful flipper motor that I only use on the really, really powerful flipper bots, like Kronic and Iron Awe, and anyone else I deem worthy. '''R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas 16:08, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Annihilator
Loved the ending, it was really clever of Medusa 2000. The OOtA was there, and there was some awesome skills. Loved it and looking forward to the next one.  Gutripper  Speak   23:24, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. '''R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas 04:25, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Trading Cards
I've emailed them to you.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  02:45, 6 June 2009 (UTC)


 * They're downloaded JPG images, which my email won't let through. I can send them from my alternate address, however, if you check again.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  07:09, 6 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I've resent the images, and the reason is because I don't remember where I got them from. I've had them since January, since I started contributing, and I don't remember where I got them from.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  07:28, 6 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah, I've just remembered. I got them from a website that has since been shut down. Sorry.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  07:29, 6 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but I don't keep the habit of keeping links to websites that don't exist anymore. I've emailed you the pictures, and am willing to try again if it hasn't worked, but if you don't have them, then you'll have to go without unless you can think of a different way of you getting them. Sorry.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  10:44, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I am not familiar with the program, no. Maybe I will try putting the cards into Paint and sending them one at a time, rather than all 40.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  22:48, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi RA2. Whether you've seen the new policy on badge giving or not, I'm presenting you with a badge for making huge contributions to the Crushtacean article. This badge can go on your user page under awards from Wiki admins. Keep up the great work.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  01:37, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I really appreciate it. R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.  ( My Talk ) 02:15, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Here's your Stinger badge. Keep up the work, but I've gotta dash. Keep an eye on things for me while I'm off, would you? Christophee may need help, and Gutripper isn't about. Your the most trusted user at the moment.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  00:40, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
