Horizontal crushers

Horizontal Crushers would have the ability to pierce or crumple side panels of other machines. The strengths of horizontal pincers or crushers are that they can, like vertical crushers trap other robots and making pushing easier. They are also easier to implement into an invertible design than their vertical counterparts. Following the example of house robot Dead Metal or competitor Big Nipper, the horizontal pincers allow ample opportunity for a good weapon synergy.

The weaknesses of horizontal crushers are that they can simply provide leverage for flippers and lifters, with Kan-Opener's battle with Atomic being an example.
