Gnomish Alarm & Bomb Bots

[MogulKahn]

More Gnome models are always welcome!

A really cool, fun and unique model. My only suggestion would be that the sleep animation could probably be a bit more interesting as it looks unanimated at the moment, perhaps something that makes it look like it's not activated but scanning.

Thank you. I didn´t picture the unit as neutral hostile. The Sleep animation was thought of as a deactivated version for gameplay/sneak mechanic, temporarily disabled, cinematic, or Gnome quirkiness (Alarm bot sleep mode). I also thought it was funny to add a sleep mode to it. I am not sure about a sleep animation that looks as if the bot is scanning when enemy units can walk right up to it with no issue as long as it isn't attacked but maybe I am misunderstanding your comment.

I get what you mean, and a deactivated state is what I have in mind, I just mean the deactivated state/sleep animation could still have a little something to it as if it's waiting or could come alive.

I am not getting a lot of ideas on it, but I´ll think about it.

Edit: It is animated, though hard to notice.

A very interesting model.

Nice job animating this doofus, can't wait for it to pull out a 2-drop

Heck yeah, more Gnomish models is great. Good job recreating this guy in the Wc3-style. Love the wide variety of animations as well!

//EDIT// - Perhaps to Footman's point, something small/simple/subtle, like a little low flashing red light (like the sleep mode on my TV)? Just something to clearly indicate it's not dead/unanimated?

Good idea and done.

Bomb Bot!

Nice addition

Bomb Bot!

Is the bomb a bot or the bot a bomb?

Both bots rupture eardrums.
Works in-game. Approved!
